AMS aircraft maintenance competencies are built on a foundation of proven repair and overhaul processes spanning decades, which resulted in returning to service a multitude of military aircraft components for the U.S. Air Force, other branches of the U.S. military, NATO forces, and other military allies on different continents. AMS Solutions: Cost Efficiency Our services are time efficient, and typically less expensive than scrapping used components and buying new replacements. Military aircraft components once considered throw-away items now present opportunities for significant savings when the components can be repaired, tested, and returned to service. Regulatory Compliance Our staff operates a documented ITAR compliance program with a security plan, visitor restrictions, and data logging. We monitor the changing export compliance landscape, and receive ongoing training about changes to the ITAR and EAR, to expedite shipments to overseas customers. Technical We operate with an approved Aerospace Engineering Program (AEP). Technical and engineering solutions include engineering test sets when original test set equipment is obsolete. AMS has developed specialized processes which are included in our Operation Specifications (OP Specs) for repair. Diminishing Material Source (DMS) AMS develops DMS solutions through an approved AEP AS9110 certification that includes design, maintenance, repair, and overhaul of instrumentation, electrical/electronic system components, and mechanical accessories for the defense and commercial aircraft industries. Our services help end users address DMS issues when replacement parts cannot be procured through the open market, the OEM, or through the DLA. Procurement AMS procurement specialists work with our technicians to obtain the needed components, hardware, and materials to enable the maintenance, repair, and overhaul of articles prior to their return to service. Identication of replacement components is based on DLA acceptable National Stock Number alternative parts and customer approvals. Quality AMS uses an AS9110 design and development program to develop sustainment solutions that support high-value aircraft components. Each component requires a unique combination of solutions for aircraft users.
