Reverse Engineering Technical Data Packages for Development of Alternate Sources of Supply for DLA NSNs

Mentis Sciences Inc. proposes to develop Technical Data Packages and generate Source Approval Requests for 13 critically needed components for the Air Launched Cruise Missile engine platform, the F107, which is no longer supported by the OEM, but is scheduled to remain in service through at least 2030. Under previous funding, Mentis has worked with the F107 engineering team to identify and prioritize the need for the under-supported parts, and is expected to complete SAR’s for 10 of the 23 items identified. The funding of this proposal will allow the remaining components to be addressed. Prototypes will be fabricated, as required, to facilitate rapid approval and insertion of the F107 parts. At the program’s conclusion, Mentis will be an approved supplier, and actively supplying multiple critically needed components for the F107 program. In addition, all appropriate quality standards will be met to qualify Mentis to pursue other reverse engineering opportunities on the F107 program, as well as other under-supported aerospace systems.
