Most of long-operated aircrafts in Republic of Korea Air Force(ROKAF) have been acquired through FMS channel and it is very difficult to acquire spare parts due to the production cessation by original equipment manufacturers and parts suppliers. However, ROKAF has not been able to effectively cope with this type of diminishing parts problems from long-operated aircrafts and has only taken steps at an inactive level on follow-on parts obsolescence management, thus aggravating supply dificiencies. Also, ROKAF will have to continue utilization of long-operated aircrafts until the acqusition of new generation weapon systems, which account for a large portion of its air power.
This suggests systematic parts obsolescence management activities through establishment of a managing organization. Also, this thesis provides efficient obsolescence management policy for long-operated aircrafts. The proposed policy are as follows: composition of a collaborative body among countries that operate the same aircraft for parts procurement and establishment a cooperative system of government agencies, air force and civil contractors to utilize the replacement patrs of domestic parts production, Develop and promote the maintenance capacity by 'Outward'.
