Defense Repair Information Logistics System (DRILS) G200 provides an agile, web based, streamlined, user friendly maintenance data documentation application to users at the point of maintenance that facilitates collection and reporting of consistent and dependable serialized maintenance data. DRILS is accessible to [.mil], [.gov], and [.com] (through USAF Portal).
DRILS collects detailed, serialized maintenance data at the point of maintenance for the F-16 fighter wing intermediate shops worldwide (Active, Reserve and Guard), the F-16 avionics depot at Ogden Air Logistics Center (OO-ALC), and contractor repair shops (depot level repair). Every part consumed by each repair shop is documented including those that are bad from supply. DRILS also provides immediate access to the data input by repair technician through predefined reports (with some customization). Serialized repair history is invaluable for discovering failure trends in serialized LRUs and identifying the difference between good and bad assets. The depot repair data is fed to REMIS, the USAF system of record for maintenance data.
DRILS is used for the B-52 SNT/UID Reliability performance pathfinder at Barksdale and Minot AFBs and OC-ALC depot. DRILS is also being used for the SNT/UID warranty tracking pathfinder on selected aircraft parts at WR-ALC and OO-ALC.
Flexible sustainment business practices (Falcon Flex) apply the data collected in DRILS to perform root cause failure analysis and drive product improvements and reducing the total ownership cost (RTOC) of the F-16. From its inception in 1997 through FY07, Falcon Flex has resulted in cost avoidance of $142M (based on exchange costs) with projected cost avoidance of $678M through 2023.
