Background Information on Re-engining Requirements
The re-engining of an aircraft is a complex task and requires a substantial amount of predefinition work to be successful. The program starts with defining the missions the aircraft will undertake and the goals of the re-engining program—e.g., fuel saving, correcting performance shortfalls, taming the escalation of support costs, or a combination of these or other goals. In most cases the basic requirements can be derived from the initial design specification for the aircraft, modified by taking into account current requirements and then incorporating current Air Force policy directives for the program. The document input to industry by a DoD entity will form the core from which can be derived all the requirements for a re-engining program.
Once program requirements have been dissected and outlined, a contractor typically defines how it will undertake a re-engining program. Two basic elements in preparing a response to a Request for Proposals (RFP) are the development of a Technical Requirements Document (TRD) and a Work Breakdown Structure (WBS), so that costs and schedules can be developed for the program. A typical table of contents for a re-engining program is displayed below to provide some insight into the complexity and considerations that must be addressed to re-engine an aircraft.
