Obsolescence Risk and Impact: ACV

Ark.ai conducted a sustainment program analysis of the ACV Amphibious Combat Vehicle program, examining the vendors, their suppliers, manufacturers, shippers, and other members of the supply chain ‚Äì as well as the critical parts and NiiNs the ACV program relies on. The program analysis focuses particularly on obsolescence risk, including obsolete NiiNs, declining procurement, and sole sourced parts.

The analysis of the ACV program resulted in the following statistics. There are 1,526 Parts with Declining Procurement and 83 Manufacturers with Declining Procurement. The count of Obsolete Parts is 3,148 and the ACV program is dependent on 1,903 Sole Sourced Parts.

Information about the critical vendors for the ACV program, as well as a list of the obsolete and sole sourced parts, are included in the following tables.
