The Air Force has officially delayed the KC-46’s full-rate production decision milestone until 2024 as the next-generation tanker works through problems plaguing its Remote Vision System, the service announced June 8.

The Air Force and the Pentagon’s Director of Operational Test and Evaluation decided the KC-46’s initial operational test and evaluation will only conclude after the RVS deficiencies are resolved, and the Air Force Operational Test and Evaluation Center has tested the aircraft in its final production configuration, the service said in a statement.

Just a day after the Air Force announced that a full-rate production decision on the KC-46 tanker will have to wait until late fiscal 2024 due to extended testing of the redesigned Remote Vision System for tanking operations, the service’s acquisition executive offered his hope that the timetable may be accelerated by laboratory testing of RVS elements.

Parochial concerns delayed the confirmation vote. Sen. Dan Sullivan (R-Alaska) held up Brown’s nomination to press the Air Force to base its new KC-46 tanker in his state,

The report also reveals that, at present, it costs the Air Force an exorbitant $98,000 per flight hour to operate the KC-46As, despite their limited capabilities, though "cost per flying hour projections for KC-46 will decrease as the program progresses to steady state." By comparison, the KC-135R's cost per flight hour to operate is $26,000, while that of the KC-10A is $23,000. This puts the price of flying the Pegasuses closer to that of the B-2 stealth bomber, which sits at around $122,000 per flight hour, than other tankers.

During the conversion, Airbus teams install some 16,000 types of new components and approximately 450 new electrical harnesses (for a total cabling length of more than 50 km.), as well as 6,000 brackets and 1,700 connectors.

With 42 A330 MRTTs delivered to date, Airbus’ has reduced the end-to-end transformation time by one month, introducing increased digitalization and applying the “takt” principle of lean production methodology – in which the aircraft moves through the conversion with zero hours pending and zero work orders open.

The digitalization includes the increasing use of Microsoft HoloLens mixed reality headsets instead of computer tablets. With 80 to 90 work orders now produced with HoloLens, the goal is to apply the system during 2020 for 50% of overall work orders, mainly for electrical and hydraulic installations.
