Lockheed Martin is expanding its Global Supply Chain services and support to international F-16 operators through a partnership with Derco Repair Services.
The company recently named Derco Repair Services, part of Derco Aerospace, as an authorized F-16 Hologram repair center. The Lockheed Martin Hologram designation is only awarded to repair and overhaul facilities that meet or exceed strict quality assurance criteria. Only two existing F-16 repair centers have been recognized worldwide.
“Our global supply chain and sustainment solutions provide unprecedented mission readiness,” said Laura Frank, vice president of Integrated Test and Logistics with Lockheed Martin Rotary & Mission Systems. “We are excited to expand our F-16 repair center operations in partnership with Derco Repair Services, ensuring the highest quality standards consistent with the Hologram products program.”
Derco Repair Services owns a 80,000 sq. ft. FAA/EASA certified component repair station carrying Accessory Class I, II, and III ratings with limited landing gear and instrument ratings.
Said Jason Wiedoff, director of Derco Repair Services: “We are excited to expand our services and support to the F-16 operational community and customers across the globe.”
