### Project EE5 — Aviation Ground Support Equipment

Aviation Ground Support Equipment (AGSE) Product Office tests and evaluates critical ground support equipment to enhance the functionality and maintenance of both the Army's enduring fleet of rotary wing aircraft and the Future Long Range Assault Aircraft (FLRAA). The FY2027 funding will continue the evaluation efforts to determine Aviation Ground Power Unit (AGPU 1.1) required modifications to support FLRAAs' MV-75 and Army modernization. Funding will also support the continued comprehensive assessment/analysis of AGSEs products to identify future capability gaps required to fully support the enduring fleet and FLRAA. Continued investments in AGSE's ability to develop, test and evaluate aircraft support equipment ensure Army Aviation can rapidly deploy, operate and sustain operations across the globe in a multi-domain environment, supporting Army modernization, the National Defense Strategy and National Military Strategy.

## Mission & acquisition strategy

Aviation Ground Support Equipment (AGSE) Product Office tests and evaluates critical ground support equipment to enhance the functionality and maintenance of both the Army's enduring fleet of rotary wing aircraft and the Future Long Range Assault Aircraft (FLRAA). This is accomplished by providing aircraft diagnostic, repair and servicing capabilities essential to support aircraft maintenance and operational readiness. Priority efforts include modification of the Aviation Ground Power Unit (AGPU 1.1) to support FLRAA, the development of new products and a comprehensive study/analysis to identify AGSE future capability gaps required to fully support the enduring fleet and FLRAA.

The AGSE Product Office develops and delivers aviation ground support equipment. While the detailed acquisition strategy varies from product to product, the general strategy is to complete development and testing efforts through a combination of contracts and engineering service tasks and then to proceed into production leveraging competitive procurements. The AGSE Product Office procures and modernizes critical aviation ground support equipment necessary to maintain the Army's enduring and future fleet of aircraft. The contracting strategy also varies from product to product.
