The CV-22 Osprey is a revolutionary weapon system that is currently being fielded by Air Force Special Operations Command (AFSOC). It is a tilt- rotor aircraft that combines the speed of a conventional fixed wing turboprop aircraft with the flexibility of a helicopter. At the same time, the U.S. Air Force logistics enterprise is turning more and more to centralized aircraft maintenance. The term for these centralized maintenance facilities is Centralized Intermediate Repair Facilities, or CIRF. The Headquarters AFSOC logistics directorate (A-4) is interested in determining where CIRFs for the CV- 22 should be located and what parts should be repaired at a CIRF versus at the base where the aircraft is stationed. This research study analyzed cost and transportation time data to identify recommended CIRF locations. It also analyzed historical failure and demand data for particular CV-22 parts to determine which parts are candidates for CIRF repair and what stock levels should be established at the bases so that parts are available to repair the aircraft while the CIRF repairs failed parts.
