Show June strengthening its own Technology" Repair Center concept by rounding up stray repair workloads. QDQiomS. H Continued from ies, Deutch said - Page 3 aviation provides the 'for greatest opportunity ' consolidating "workloads across the services. Now the services are looking for more workload candidates for inter service work, including whole commodities, such as landing gear, radio communication systems, hydraulic controls systems, or radar, that are common across more than one weapon . system. "Obviously, the Navy is skeptical about giving us work, and we're skeptical about giving them work," Eickmann said. "There's a natural concern about somebody else maintaining your weapon systems." The key will be to build trust on top of the existing interservicing track record, Eickmann said. "The Air Force has never overhauled a TF34 engine," Eickmann said. "The Navy has done it from day one, and they've done good quality work for us. Of course,, we are interested in making sure we get a good price, so we negotiate each year.

"Neither service wants to lose total control over the ability to maintain their own weapon systems," Eickmann said. "But I think the budget is at such a point now that everyone realizes we have to do some dramatic things and look at what is the most efficient way to do all the services' maintenance." To increase its depot efficiency, AFMC is Ma. Gen. Kenneth E. Eickmann Contracts for other services' workloads won by AFMC in previous competitions give the Air Force an opportunity to show it does quality work at a . good price, Eickmann said. In the case of the Navy FA-1- 8 overhaul contract won by Ogden ALC at Hill, it's a chance to build trust for doing interser-vic- e work beyond the commodity level. "We've not been interested in repairing each others' aircraft before," Eickmann said. "I think that, to the extent that we deliver good quality. FA-18- s at the agreed price and schedule, we will build the kind of confidence in each other that leads to more interservicing."
