North American Military Aircraft and Engine MRO Market

Additional Information

Report Excerpt

The military looks at spending through five prime areas, namely, unit-level spending, depot-level airframe spending, depot-level engine spending, component repair spending, and procurement-based spending.

Unit-level spending mainly concerns manpower and consumable materials, which will not be addressed in this study. Depot-level spending on both airframes and engines will be addressed in this research service, and will be identified by organic versus contractor spending. Component repair for depot-level activities will be identified in this study, but the unit-level repair of components will not be detailed, as it mainly concerns manpower and consumables. Depot-level component repair will also be divided between organic and contractor repair spending. Procurement spending includes interim contractor support, modifications, and upgrades.

To differentiate among the aforementioned items for the different levels of maintenance and the potential spending and revenue streams, this study uses the following categories of spending: airframe depots, engine depots, component repair (depots only), and contractor support (including modifications).
