NAVSUP WSS team helps P-8A Poseidon meet FMC goals

In March 2021, Naval Supply Systems Command Weapon Systems Support’s (NAVSUP WSS) P-8A Integrated Weapons Support Team (IWST) targeted 1 August as the deadline to achieve the goal of 56 Fully Mission Capable (FMC) P-8A Poseidon aircraft. With the assistance of government stakeholders and industry partners, the team reached the target ahead of schedule on 23 July. The P-8A IWST worked with each commercial vendor to ensure key components were prioritised and deliveries expedited. Engaging with commercial vendors to reduce Repair Turnaround Times (RTAT), developing firm delivery schedules through modifying contracts and developing relationships, contributed to accomplishing the FMC goal.
