Abstract
ABSTRACTThe overhaul of high technology combat systems presents problems in logistics, management, and testing that increasingly challenge the way that these issues have been resolved in the past. Recognizing that a number of surface ships with complex combat systems will be overhauled by private shipyards, the Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) initiated the master ordnance repair (MOR) program. The objectives are to improve the quality of combat system overhauls in the private sector and to assure that this maturity keeps pace with developing technology.The MOR program is designed to identify, and qualify, those companies and private shipyards technically capable of managing combat system work and of conducting combat system testing. A team of combat system and overhaul experts from government agencies conducts on‐site visits of MOR applicant facilities. The team examines aspects of the companies' capabilities, then recommends qualification, or not, to NAVSEA.This paper explains the MOR program and its implementation, discusses qualification of an applicant, identifies support problems unique to the private sector, and proposes a monitor system which will ensure program integrity.
