2. UNCLASSIFIED//FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY Purpose/Objective of C-27J From the USAF Direct Support, to USA Time Sensitive/Mission Critical Mission Concept of Employment (CONEMP)…. “Requirements determined by Commander USFOR-A (COMUSFORA), or a designated US Army Division Commander that are critical to mission success and must be in place during a specific window of time may be short notice or pre-planned.” AFCENT C-27J Direct Support Concept of Employment Dated June 2011 Time Sensitive: Needs to meet the COMUSFORA, or designated US ARMY Division Commander’s timing for specific reason Mission Critical: Needs to meet the COMUSFORA, or designated US ARMY Division Commander’s intent for combat effectiveness Right Size - Right Time - Right Cost - Right Airframe
3. UNCLASSIFIED Time Sensitive 46% of C-27J Sorties Since FOC changed within 96 hours of scheduling Changes occur due to changing tactical situation “On The Fly” adjustments are congruent with a fluid battlefield Since FOC on 15 AUG 2011, a total of 2454 sorties flown 1132 sorties changed in 96 hours or less. >90% Mission Complete Time Sensitive Missions 62 Airdrops since FOC (61 ISO SOF) 718 AOG parts delivered Right Time – Right Airframe

7. LZ Capabilities Comparison C-27J Min LZ 45’ X 2400’ C-130 Min LZ 60’ X 3000’ The minimum landing zone (LZ) length and width is determined by C-27J Concept of Operations Annex C. The C-27J has not been included in AFI 13-217, Drop Zone and Landing Zone Operations. The C-27J has short field capabilities that have not been tested or incorporated into these manuals. As such, the C-27J must follow the more restrictive C-130J guidelines. Right Size – Right Airframe

9. UNCLASSIFIED C-27J vs C-23 C-23 Sherpa is unusable in Afghanistan due to:Runway Type, Runway Length, Runway Elevation $3,053 29 28 270 IAS $2,300 18 165 IAS 14 K 7.5 HR 3.5 HR 4 K 3 Right Size – Right Airframe
10. UNCLASSIFIED C27J is Optimally Sized for Army Missions 46% 23% 18% C-27J C-130H C-130J
11. Pallet Position Equivalent The US Air Force Air Mobility Division measures aircraft efficiency in the form of Pallet Position Equivalent (PPE) Currently there is no approved doctrine regarding the PPE of the C-27J Measurement is based using a standard 463L Pallet PPE measures efficiency by determining how full an aircraft is per sortie The PPE takes into account cargo and rolling stock, but does not specify passenger count All cargo or rolling stock must equate to a predetermined weight in order to be counted as a pallet position According to AMD, baggage is not considered unless palletized and weighed Due to its unique mission, the C-27J makes rare use of its center-isle seating (Greater Flexibility) 8 seats = 1 PPE (C-27J) versus 12 seats = 1 PPE (C-130) C-27J: 3 pallet maximum versusC-130J: 8 pallet maximum C-27J counts passenger occupancy (8 PAX = 1 PPE) Since FOC PPE C-27J = 1.4 (46% full) versusC-130 (23% full) versusC-130J (18% full)
12. UNCLASSIFIED Aviation Fusion Small Airfields & LZs C-27J is not a replacement for CH-47s, but when used together they achieve a synergistic effect in both efficiency and cost for the warfighter HLZs HLZs Small Airfields & LZs Large Airfields Right Size – Right Airframe
13. UNCLASSIFIED Cost Effective In these two examples alone, the C-27J relieved the CH-47 of 7.5 hours of blade time for a total savings of $69,900 Example 1: Romanian Relief In Place (RIP) Saved 4.5 hours of blade time for CH-47 ($37,605 direct savings). Delivered 150 PAX in one mission CH-47 scheduled 2 days for same movement Completed RIP and Re-fragged < 3hrs to transport VIPs to Kabul International Example 2: Relieved CH-47 of OATN mission delivering 24 tri-walls and 10 PAX. Saved 3 hours of CH-47 blade time ($32,295 direct savings) DoD FY12 O&M cost Right Cost – Right Time – Right Airframe
14. UNCLASSIFIED Cost Indicated Air Speed Cost Per Hour Cargo Capacity (lbs) Comparing cargo loads, air speed and cost per hour, C-27J provides the most effective capability for the direct support/time sensitive missions.
15. UNCLASSIFIED Current C-27J Metric EFFECTIVE FLEXIBLE COST EFFICENT Right Size – Right Time – Right Cost
16. UNCLASSIFIED C-27J – Right Airframe Efficient Right Size 3 Pallet Position Equivalency = 46% Time sensitive Right Time 46% of Sorties changed inside 96 hrs (Since FOC) cost Right Cost $2,300 per Flight Hr
