The V-22 Osprey aircraft has an Engine Air Particle Separator (EAPS) system forward of the engine in each nacelle. When operating there are two blower doors in each nacelle requiring actuators to open/close the doors to allow scavenged particles in the engine airflow to be directed overboard. The EAPS door actuators are currently a high failure component with unacceptable reliability and responsible for increased MMH/FH. They are the last unmitigated single point failure responsible for EAPS system inoperability that ultimately results in rapid engine performance degradation and reduced engine Time On Wing (TOW) when inoperable. Incorporation of reliability improvements will increase Mean Time Before Failure (MTBF).

This planned effort will improve reliability by correcting the current known failure modes and to identify any additional failure modes or design discrepancies that can adversely impact reliability and EAPS system operability.

This effort will be a Cost Plus Fixed Fee.
