The Department of the Navy, Naval Air Systems Command, The Commander Fleet Readiness Center (COMFRC) has a requirement for Reliability-Centered Maintenance Support.

• RCM support is required for new procurement and in-service aircraft. RCM is required in support of: aircraft engines, aircraft systems (i.e., weapons, aircrew escape systems, avionics, and electrical systems), Support Equipment (SE) (i.e., avionics support equipment, non-avionics support equipment, and aircraft launch/recovery equipment) as well as depot plant equipment. In addition to RCM analyses, financial and administrative support and active participation in RCM Working Group meetings to provide feedback on a host of issues that drive RCM improvements is required.
• RCM is an analytical process to determine the appropriate failure management strategies, including preventive maintenance (PM) requirements and Other Actions (as defined by NAVAIR 00-25-403 and COMNAVAIRFORINST 4790.20 series) that are warranted to ensure safe operations and cost-wise readiness.  This process of developing PM requirements, with an auditable documentation package, is based on the reliability of the various components, the severity of the consequences related to safety and mission if failure occurs, and the cost effectiveness of the task. Tasking includes: update existing RCM analyses; enter, maintain, and/or retrieve RCM data using Integrated Reliability Centered Maintenance System (IRCMS), Joint Deficiency Reporting System (JDRS), Decision Knowledge Programming for Logistics Analysis and Technical Evaluation (DECKPLATE), Asset Management Program (AMP), Web Enabled Safety System (WESS), and Automated Data Capture System (ADCS); provide recommendations for PM tasks and other actions as a result of the RCM analysis; perform age exploration; perform statistical analyses such as Weibull analyses, reliability analyses and root cause analyses related to failure modes;  perform data collection, data filtering and data analysis; develop and sustain hardware breakdown and Failure Mode, Effects and Criticality Analysis (FMECA); determine new and evaluate existing organizational, intermediate and depot level preventive maintenance tasks; provide recommendations for the development of maintenance support system requirements; perform technical analyses to integrate  prognostics and health management (PHM) and condition-based maintenance plus (CBM+) data and technologies into PM, modeling and simulations in support of RCM; develop and deliver briefs and RCM-related programmatic documentation; develop and deliver RCM training; and provide technical support to the NAVAIR RCM Steering Committee.
