MIL-STD-1530 Aircraft Structural Integrity Program AsipThis standard describes the USAF Aircraft Structural Integrity Program ASIP which defines the requirements necessary to achieve structural integrity in USAF aircraft while managing cost and schedule risks through a series of disciplined, time-phased tasks. It provides direction to government personnel and contractors engaged in the development, production, modification, acquisition, and/or sustainment of USAF aircraft.

6.    NOTES.

(This section contains information of a general or explanatory nature that may be helpful, but is not mandatory.)

6.1    Intended use.

This standard is intended as a foundation to establish and conduct an ASIP for all USAF aircraft developed to perform combat and support missions in environments unique to military weapons systems, and may be used by other agencies at their discretion.  Contractual documents may contain tailored requirements for each program, based on the content herein.

6.2    Acquisition requirements.

Acquisition documents should specify the following:

a.    Title, number, and date of the standard.

6.3     Data requirements.

The long-term operation and maintenance of USAF aircraft and equipment is directly dependent on the availability of certain structural data developed during an ASIP.  These data are used to establish, assess, and support inspections; maintenance activities; repairs; modification tasks; and replacement actions for the life of the aircraft structure.  Contractual provisions must ensure these data are available to the USAF and to relevant contractors and subcontractors throughout the operational life of the system. The following list is provided as a general guide to the necessary data.  This list may be tailored based on system operational requirements, the support concept/strategy, AFPD 63-14, AFI 63-1401, the requirements contained in this standard, and guidance in JSSG-2006.

a.       ASIP Master Plan and integration with the IMP and IMS (See 5.1.1.)
