Obsolescence Risk and Impact: MRAP

Ark.ai conducted a sustainment program analysis of the MRAP Mine Resistant Ambush Protected 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 MRAP program relies on. The program analysis focuses particularly on obsolescence risk, including obsolete NiiNs, declining procurement, and sole sourced parts.

The analysis of the MRAP program resulted in the following statistics. There are 7,906 Parts with Declining Procurement and 912 Manufacturers with Declining Procurement. The count of Obsolete Parts is 46,328 and the MRAP program is dependent on 26,700 Sole Sourced Parts.

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