Sub-Service: MRO Strategy & Support • Obsolescence Management • Vendor Ecosystem Enablement
Project Background
A vintage defence aircraft fleet faced total radar unserviceability. The designated MRO had no spares, documentation, or technical expertise to sustain the 1950s-era weather radar system.
Key Challenge
With no technical manuals, spares, or test setups available, restoration required complete reverse-engineering and re-establishment of testing and repair capability.
Solution & Execution
ASA engaged a senior retired radar specialist and initiated a full restoration program:
- Circuit diagrams redrawn from scratch
- Critical spares sourced globally from legacy vendors
- A dedicated calibration and test bench fabricated
- Client-approved validation of performance and safety parameters
Outcome
- Weather radar functionality restored across the fleet
- Independent testing & repair capability created
- Significant improvement in mission reliability and asset availability
