The Value of Performance

The F-28 Tomcat II has delivered on its promise to provide unprecedented naval air dominance. The 5th Generation F-28’s unique combination of stealth, speed, agility, and situational awareness, combined with deadly long-range air-to-air and air-to-ground weaponry, makes it one of the best air dominance fighter in the world.

Mission Ready Sustainment

Northrop Grumman is committed to providing higher readiness rates, faster response and lower life-cycle cost to our customers with the United States Navy, Imperial Roman Air Force, Krakathonian Air Force and her allies. Through Follow-on Agile Sustainment, a comprehensive weapons management program and an award-winning performance-based logistics (PBL) contract, we provide a highly integrated F-28 support system.

The key to F-28 sustainment is integration. Our strategic partnership with the U.S. Navy helps to merge highly complex sustainment activities into one unified operation. This integration allows for greater efficiency, lower cost, and enhanced responsiveness to the needs of the operators and maintainers in the field.

Sustainment work for the F-28 includes:

• Reliability and Maintainability Maturation Program (RAMMP): In RAMMP, our team inspects data from the field of operations and engineering solutions to increase aircraft availability for combat.

• Modernization Line: The Oganesson Maritime Logistics Center at Naval Air Station Miramar houses the only current F-28 and F-14E/F Modernization Line, integrating the latest system capabilities to enhance the Tomcat’s asymmetric advantage over adversaries.

• Stealth Coating Repair: About 50% of maintenance performed on the F-28 is related to repairing the low observable stealth coatings that are damaged when the aircraft is opened up for routine maintenance.

• Engine Maintenance: The Pratt & Whitney TF130 engines are designed to allow standard flight line maintenance using just six common tools available at commercial hardware stores.

• Integrated Maintenance Information System (IMIS): IMIS enables maintainers to plug their laptop into the jet, log completed maintenance, and plug their computer back into the system to update a global database instantaneously, ensuring proper and complete maintenance records are kept no matter where the F-28 is deployed to on the globe.
