By Defence Industry Europe

GE Aerospace and the United States Naval Supply Systems Command have received the Secretary of Defense Performance-Based Logistics (PBL) government/industry of the year award for 2024. The recognition highlights their joint support of the stores management system with the U.S. Marine Corps for F/A-18, AV-8B and AH1-Z aircraft globally, contributing to fleet readiness.

 

“Our team is honored to receive this award from the Department of Defense,” said Matt Burns, general manager of Avionics Systems for GE Aerospace. “It’s great recognition of GE Aerospace’s expertise and commitment to support our customers.”

Earlier in 2024, GE Aerospace announced a five-year agreement with the U.S. Navy that builds on previous PBL contracts. These agreements have supported more than two decades of availability for the U.S. Navy’s operations worldwide.

 

 

Under performance-based logistics, GE Aerospace delivers supply, warehousing and logistics management of spares, while also providing depot-level repair of aircraft units and subassemblies. The company further supports fleets at major naval bases with training and technical expertise.

The company’s stores management systems feature scalable architectures with redundant centralised or distributed management, alongside standard stores station interfaces and safety-critical release control. GE Aerospace has supplied more than 5,000 stores management systems to operators of fourth- and fifth-generation fixed-wing and rotary-wing military aircraft globally.
