Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recent years, most Cost Adjustment Sheets (CASs) have increased the Navy's Flying Hour Program (FHP) budget. They also have been far more utilized by the F/A-18 program than by program offices for most other types of naval aircraft. RAND assessed the contribution of CASs to the accuracy of FHP budgets and whether CAS usage is correlated with expenditure-per-flying-hour growth, as well as why CASs have been used more by the F/A-18 program.

Keating and published by . This book was released on 1998-12-01 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis examines the Commander Naval Air Forces Pacific (CNAP) flying Hour Program (FHP) budget process and analyzes the issues causing underfunding in that program. The Department of the Navy Flying Hour Program (FHP) is used to fund requirements and justify the resources required to train aviation crews and maintain Navy / Marine Corps aircraft. The thesis begins with a comprehensive overview of the FHP, including how flying hour requirements are determined and how the funding process operates. It then analyzes the major factors contributing to CNAP perennial FHP underfunding and resource variability. Information to explain FHP underfunding is widely distributed. The thesis provides a single source reference to help CNAP FHP managers and budget personnel better understand the FHP budgeting process including historical and current causes of program underfunding. This research concludes that key causes of CNAP FHP underfunding and related problems are: (1) Budget process dynamics, including limited resources and competing priorities, (2) Unplanned and unfunded requirements, (3) Deficiencies in FHP forecasting methodology particularly the failure to incorporate the cost of previous year program funding shortfalls, (4) Poor AVDLR component reliability, (5) integrated Logistics Support (ILS) deficiencies, and (6) Variability in AVDLR pricing methodology and NWCF surcharges. The final chapter provides conclusions to address CNAP FHP underfunding and related problems. It also includes analysis of alternative budget reform concepts intended to minimize defense resource variability and increase budgeting efficiency. Finally, it suggests areas for further research.

Book excerpt: CBO estimates that purchasing new aircraft to maintain the aviation fleet of the Navy and Marine Corps at its current size would cost about $380 billion (in 2018 dollars) from 2020 to 2050.

Download or read book Navy Enterprises written by Jessie Riposo and published by RAND Corporation. This book was released on 2009 with total page 76 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The Navy Enterprise has evolved over the past decade to achieve various objectives from improving efficiencies through lean, six-sigma efforts to producing the workforce of the future. This evaluation of the participation of organizations within the Navy Enterprise in the Planning, Programming, Budgeting and Execution (PPBE) system (1) identifies and describes the current participation of Navy Enterprise organizations in PPBE and (2) identifies and assesses potential alternatives for Navy Enterprise participation. RAND analysts evaluated available documentation and conducted extensive interviews with nearly twenty senior leaders throughout the Navy. The biggest benefit of the Navy Enterprise construct from a PPBE perspective has been the increased communication between resource sponsors, providers, and warfighters, which has helped the Navy to better assess the cost and risk trade-offs of resource-allocation decisions. However, the additional workload borne by the enterprises and additional complexity brought into the PPBE process could be greater than the benefit."--Publisher's website

Download or read book A Cost Estimation of Biofuels for Naval Aviation written by Naval Postgraduate Naval Postgraduate School and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2016-02-23 with total page 68 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book estimates the cost of biofuel to meet the Department of the Navy's (DON) stated energy objectives, i.e., sailing the Great Green Fleet in 2016 and transitioning to 50 percent alternative fuel by 2020. The first estimate is for the additional cost to operate the Carrier Air Wing (CVW) component of the Great Green Fleet in 2016. A premium to the cost of JP-5 is estimated. A second estimate is made for a CVW operating a six-month deployment with 50 percent biofuel in 2020. A premium was estimated and a sensitivity analysis was conducted to project the required reduction in costs for biofuel from 2012 estimates to reach parity pricing with petroleum fuel by 2020.

Book excerpt: Prepared for the Subcommittee on Sea Power of the U.S. Senate Committee on Armed Services. Addresses the question of how much money the U.S. Department of the Navy needs to sustain its current force of about 300 ships and 3,500 aircraft. Examines the Navy's missions, its modernization plans, and the budgetary implications of supporting the service's current and planned fleets through 2020. It also looks at four alternative force structures that the Navy might be able to sustain at roughly its current funding level of $90 billion (adjusted for inflation). Charts and tables.

Download or read book A Preliminary Analysis of Advance Appropriations as a Budgeting Method for Navy Ship Procurements written by Irv Blickstein and published by Rand Corporation. This book was released on 2002 with total page 45 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A companion piece to MR-1526 that examines the pros and cons of applying advance appropriations across a broader segment of the Navy shipbuilding program than just aircraft carriers. The entire cost of a ship is normally included in the congressional budget for the year of construction start, which can cause large year-to-year fluctuations in the shipbuilding budget and complicate budget management. This report analyzes an alternative strategy, advance appropriations, whereby the full cost of a ship is distributed over several budget years. This strategy can reduce fluctuations in the budget level and can create the equivalent of a loan against future budgets, but also constrains management flexibility in coping with unexpected events.
Download or read book A Comparison of the Navy and the Air Force Budgeting and Execution Process for Aviation Fuel AVFUEL written by Larry J. Herring and published by . This book was released on 2006 with total page 101 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This research project provides background and explores issues related to management of Aviation Fuel (AVFUEL), Cost Per Flying Hour (CPFH), and the overarching Flying Hour Programs (FHP) for the Navy and the Air Force. Due to the variables used in the CPFH formulation and the complexity of flying hour budget formulation and execution, each armed service uses somewhat differing procedures in managing the FHP. This research focuses primarily on aircraft flying hours, and specifically the management of Aviation Fuel (AVFUEL). This research provides an overview to explain how the CPFH is used as well as analysis of the tasks of monitoring and managing the FHP based on the continuous flow of execution information from operating units. Also provided is a detailed evaluation of the CPFH concept in practice and a description of the structure used for each service, comparing the two. The research project focuses on the importance of management and decisions made at the Air Type Commander (TYCOM) and Major Command (MAJCOM) levels. The project reviews the Air Force process of FHP management centralization, in part to see whether there are lessons from the Air Force approach that may be applicable to improving FHP formulation and execution in the Navy.
