Mission and Description

The F/A-18E/F Super Hornet is the second major model upgrade since the inception of the F/A-18 aircraft program.

The single-seat F/A-18E and the two-seat F/A-18F are high performance, twin-engine, mid-wing, and multi-mission

tactical aircraft designed to replace the F/A-18C (single-seat) and F/A-18D (two-seat) aircraft as they reach the end

of their service lives and retire. The F/A-18E/F is designed to meet current Navy fighter escort and interdiction

mission requirements, to maintain F/A-18 fleet air defense and close air support roles, as well as an increasing

range of missions, including Forward Air Controller (Airborne) and Aerial Tanking, as the F/A-18E/F has proven

capability to replace the S-3 as an aerial tanker. F/A-18E/F enhancements include increased range and improved

carrier suitability required for the F/A-18 to continue its key strike fighter role against the advanced threats of the 21st

century.

Executive Summary

The program continues to excel. Cost, schedule, and performance were superb during this reporting period, and the

program continues to deliver aircraft ahead of schedule. As of March 27, 2013, the program has delivered 506

aircraft to the fleet (62 Low Rate Initial Production (LRIP) and 444 Full Rate Production (FRP)). This report solely

reflects the domestic Program of Record (PoR) quantities.

As of January 30, 2013, Super Hornet aircraft have flown over 1,131,122 hours.

The F/A-18E/F and EA-18G are software-intensive systems that share a common Operational Flight Program

(OFP). The current OFP is the H6E System Configuration Set (SCS), which was released to the fleet in October

2011. The H8E SCS represents the latest software upgrade that will replace the H6E SCS following Operational

Test (OT). The program office delayed H8E entry into OT by four months to correct weapon integration and

interoperability issues. The issues were resolved, and OT began in June 2012. H8E fleet release is scheduled

for July 2013. Therefore, there are no significant software-related issues with this program at this time.

Because the program is more than 90 percent delivered, this is the final SAR submission for the F/A-18E/F Super

Hornet Aircraft program (pursuant to section 2432 of title 10, United States Code).

The Current Total LRIP Quantity is more than 10% of the total production quantity due to the Quadrennial Defense

Review (QDR). As a result of the QDR, the total procurement quantity for the program was reduced to a range of 548

to 785 aircraft, but there was not a change to the LRIP quantity. The LRIP quantity was approved during the LRIP

Defense Acquisition Board (DAB) in March 1997.

General Contract Variance Explanation

In accordance with Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement Subpart 234.2, Earned Value Management

System, a waiver was obtained and approved on June 10, 2010, by the Deputy Assistant Secretary of the Navy

(Acquisition and Logistics Management), to omit Earned Value Management requirements.

Contract Comments

The difference between the Initial Contract Price Target and the Current Contract Price Target is due to multiple

funded modifications and the incorporation of Engineering Change Proposals (ECPs).

The MYP III contract value and quantities represent only the F/A-18E/F portion of the contract and do not include the

EA-18G portion.

General Contract Variance Explanation

There is no contract performance reporting required on this Fixed Price Economic Price Adjustment (FPEPA)

contract.

Contract Comments

The difference between the Initial Contract Price Target and the Current Contract Price Target is due to exercising

contract options, incorporation of Engine Program Descriptions (EPDs) in support of the F414 Component

Improvement Program (CIP), and procurement of long lead material in support of FY 2010 and FY 2011 engines.

This contract is more than 90% complete; therefore, this is the final report for this contract.

The original quantity of 224 represents the total potential F/A-18E/F engine quantity. This quantity is based upon the

base contract (68) and all option year (156) engines to be procured. This report solely reflects the domestic Program

of Record (PoR) quantities.

of long lead material, 52 engines and devices. This report solely reflects the domestic Program of Record (PoR)

General Contract Variance Explanation

In accordance with a contract addendum to Federal Acquisition Regulation Clause 52.234-4, Earned Value

Management (EVM) will be implemented on individual orders. As stated in the contract, EVM is not applicable at the

basic contract level.

Contract Comments

The difference between the Initial Contract Price Target and the Current Contract Price Target is due to a contract

modification realigning certain efforts from a Cost Plus Incentive Fee Contract Line Item Number (CLIN) to a Cost

Plus Fixed Fee Level of Effort CLIN.

The initial contract price target for the basic contract reflects the total negotiated value at contract award. The current

contract price target for the basic contract reflects the revised contract value.

The value, quantities, and funding for each delivery or task order, issued under this Indefinite-Delivery, Indefinite-

Quantity contract, are individually negotiated.

This contract includes shared costs and quantities for the F/A-18E/F and EA-18G platforms; therefore, all data is

duplicated in the EA-18G SAR.

Date of Estimate: February 2013

Source: Air-4.2 Operating & Support (O&S) Cost Estimate

Sustainment Strategy:

The F/A-18E/F support strategy is based on the following basing and utilization plans. The current Program of

Record (PoR) consists of 19 - 12 PAA F/A-18E/F squadrons and 11 - 10 PAA Carrier Air Wing (CVW) deployable

squadrons stationed at either Naval Air Station (NAS) Lemoore, CA, or NAS Oceana, VA. Two Fleet Replacement

Squadrons (FRS) - NAS Lemoore and NAS Oceana - are comprised of 85 aircraft. Twenty-two additional aircraft

are either currently stationed, or will be stationed at various test and training units throughout the Continental United

States (CONUS). Additionally, four fleet squadrons are forward deployed to Atsugi, Japan. The majority of the

airframe and engine components are supported via three-level maintenance plans. Avionics components, on the

other hand, are predominantly supported by two-level maintenance plans.

The total F/A-18E/F aircraft procurement quantity is 552, which have a service life of 20 years. Two of the aircraft

were used as EA-18G System Development and Demonstration (SDD) assets. Eight of the aircraft have been lost

through attrition as Category 1 strikes.

Antecedent Information:

Antecedent Program: F/A-18C/D

Consumption Rate, Gallons per Hour: 1,127

Number of Aircraft Operating Years: 9,128 (See Total O&S Cost Comments below)

Flight Hours per Aircraft per Month: 23.5

POL Cost, JP-5 per gallon FY 2000 $: 0.73

The variable components of the cost estimate, such as the Flying Hour Program (FHP), are based on the number of

aircraft operational years available and flight hours. Some elements, such as personnel and associated indirect

and training costs, are dependent on the number of squadrons and manning requirements. Other elements which

are fixed in nature, such as sustaining engineering, are based on a cost-per-aircraft. Modification, airframe,

support equipment and depot maintenance are estimated as the total requirement and applied on a cost-per-

aircraft basis.

Total O&S Costs Comments:

For comparison purposes, the base year antecedent total O&S costs are the product of the antecedent’s average

annual cost per aircraft and the operational aircraft years of the new F/A-18E/F aircraft.

Disposal Costs

While disposal costs are not part of the Cost Assessment and Program Evaluation (CAPE) 2007 O&S Cost

Element Structure (CES) and are not included in the totals above, the Life Cycle Cost (LCC) impact of disposal

costs has been estimated at $58.9M in Base Year (BY) 2000 dollars and $99.5M in Then Year (TY) dollars.
