Question: What does last bullet mean?
Answer: Slide 4 - the results are that from slides 5/6. The Automated metering infrastructure has yet to be fully functional for our piers. The data from slides 5 and 6 is from the actual ship's logs that we used to try and evaluate our consumption. BLUF - it will be used to compare against each other and see if ships can observe inport energy consumption and conserve when they can (A/C loads, lighting in unmanned spaces, etc).
Slides 5/6 are representations of the actual inport energy consumption for TR and BUSH (logs). It shows us how ships use power both during a daily cycle and wrt getting underway and how that compares with the rest of the fleet.

9. SMALL INCREMENTAL IMPROVEMENTS MAKE A DIFFERENCE!
Aviation Fuel Usage
Navy fuel consumption by numbers
The U.S. consumes 7.1 billion barrels of liquid fuel per year, ~25% of world demand, while the Federal Government accounts for about 2%.
Naval Aviation accounts for about 12 million barrels annually.
For every $1 rise in the price of petroleum, the Navy’s fuel bill increases by $31 million per year.
SMALL INCREMENTAL IMPROVEMENTS MAKE A DIFFERENCE!
Question: What do the 6% and 1% numbers accounting for.
Answer:
Navy Fuel Consumption (USN):
Maritime: 51%
Aviation: 42%
Shore: 6%***
Expeditionary: 1%***
Naval Fuel Consumption (USN + USMC):
Aviation: 40%
Maritime: 38%
Expeditionary: 16%
Shore: 6%
Source: Naval Energy Strategic Roadmap ( ).
The 'Navy' vs. 'Naval' distinction is important when discussing consumption drivers. I believe that the first brief of the morning had an updated breakdown of fuel consumption, but the numbers hadn't changed much.

10. Cost Per Hour ( CPH ) . . . for a typical Air Wing FA 45% FM 15% FF
39% FW
<1%
Contracts (FW)
100% fixed cost. Labor contracted to sustain aircraft.
Cost is not recoverable and is lost in year of execution.
For a typical air wing, 40% of the cost per hour comes from fuel.
Reducing the amount of fuel consumed for T&R will directly drive down the CPH.
Fuel (FF)
100% variable cost. Reduce flying, reduce cost.
Consumables (FM)
Items used to sustain or repair aircraft. Reduce flying, reduce most cost. Residual cost incurred as periodic maintenance is performed.
Repairables/AVDLR (FA)
Aircraft components that are repaired and returned to the supply system. Reduce flying, reduce costs. Residual cost incurred as periodic maintenance is performed.
Average CPH

11. Leadership Guidance
NAE Strategic Guidance, called for a reduction in the Flying Hour Program cost per flight hour of 10%.
The Secretary of the Navy (SECNAV) had set forth aggressive energy goals to reduce the Department of the Navy’s (DON) overall consumption of energy and decrease reliance on petroleum.
Leadership realized the importance of having resources available when needed and during the NAE strategic guidance, they called for a reduction in the Flying Hour Program cost per flight hour of 10%.
Culture needed to change and we needed to take a good hard look at how we were executing our flight hours.

12. Air ENCON Background
Task Force Energy ( TFE ) established the Aviation Working Group (AWG ) to study and identify fuel-saving opportunities through the NAE
AWG consisted of active-duty aviators, support personnel and civilian members of the NAVAIR team
Studied existing fuel practices (commercial & military), evaluation of potential operations and interviews with current aviators
AWG proposed the Aviation Energy Conservation ( Air ENCON ) program, modeled on Surface Warfare community’s Incentivized Energy Conservation ( i-ENCON ) program
Defines roles / responsibilities, structure, metrics, awards and incentives, initial fuel-saving procedures to target, and implementation schedules
In 2011, the Aviation Working Group (AWG) of Navy Task Force Energy (TFE) proposed the development of the Aviation Energy Conservation program, Air ENCON, similar to the surface community’s i-ENCON to study our current state and determine best practices for future operations where we could save money and resources.

13. Air ENCON Program Overview
Objective
Establish a Naval Aviation Enterprise-wide program that:
Reduces reliance upon petroleum;
Promotes a culture of energy awareness;
Identifies and communicates best practices;
Eliminates inefficient cultural paradigms;
Rewards innovation and most efficient utilization of energy resources
Without negatively impacting safety, mission or readiness
Big picture, Naval Aviation needed come up with ways to reduce fuel consumption while maintaining T&R.
The also needed a way to share those ideas throughout the fleet.

15. Beta Test Leadership Guidance Air ENCON Beta test launch 2013
In 2013, the Air ENCON program launched a beta test for 19 squadrons to begin real-time evaluations of fuel-savings practices.
VADM Buss and RADM Branch distributed communications encouraging support for the beta test.
In 2013, the Air ENCON program launched a beta test of 19 squadrons, including all TMS.
The goal of the beta test was to validate 2 approved SOGs and provide an open forum to exchange ideas on energy savings.

Data Analysis
ACES: Summarizes all Budget Operating Report (BOR) data by squadron, providing executed flight hours and fuel consumed.
FHP: Tracks allocated flight hours and R+ month in a Fleet Readiness Training Plan (FRTP) phase.
Every quarter, the beta test squadrons were given a quarterly progress report utilizing data from ACES where we received the flight hours executed and fuel consumed and the Flying Hour Program which tracks allocated flight hours by R+ month
Each progress report delineates whether the squadron is on a declining or improving trend based on their previous 36 months. They are also ranked against other TMS.
CAVTS is a program that the IPT utilizes when analyzing potential Standard Operating Guidance to validate the cost benefits.
CAVTS: A web-tool process used to identify future FHP cost drivers, track actual execution. Utilized for SOG development.

Question: What are SOG’s and base-wide Takeoff Time Allocations?
Answer: SOG (Standard Operating Guidance)
Attached are a SOG example
Base-Wide Takeoff Time Allocation would include:
Less fuel burned turning on deck during periods of lower traffic density
Less fuel burned airborne due to decreased competition for training areas
Reduced delays upon RTB and post-landing activities such as brake and munitions checks
Requires coordination with wing
and base operations to allocate
takeoff (and range) times by
squadron

Approved SOGs
Reduce Fuel Dump
Short-Cycle Mission and Recovery Tanking ( SMART )
Estimated savings of 15,000 gallons of fuel per eight event fly day
Increase Truck Refueling
Replace “hot pit” refueling with “cold” truck refueling for fixed-wing aircraft
NAS Oceana study estimated 245,000 gallons in savings per year on-base
Question: “Estimated savings of 15,000 gallons of fuel per eight event fly day” – YGTBSM
Answer: This was based on actual CVW-7 deployment data...
"In a previous demonstration over 112 OEF fly days, CVW-7 observed savings of 1.68 million gallons of fuel (15,000 gallons/day) and 1,120 flight hours (10 hours/day). This translates into $2.35 million at $1.40/gallon for OEF and $6.45 million at the current JP-5 price of $ The projected potential savings for Navy-wide implementation of SMART is approximately 10.5 million gallons of fuel and $40.3 million dollars annually, based on the current JP-5 price of $3.84 per gallon."
The attached brief from CDR Orchard-Hays provides a generic history of SMART evolution via CVW-5 (2008), CVW-7 (2009/10), and CVW-3 (2010).
You will note that the quoted fuel savings fall within the analytical range of the charts provided yesterday ("Total Fuel Burn: Variation 2 vs. Variation 4" Pg > 0 to 26,470 gallons per fly day). This suggests that 15,000 gallons / day is a reasonable estimate of typical results rather than an extreme 'upper bound.‘
Question: What other issues (truck drivers training, trucks, support pers) are being address/considered?
Answer: The attached “Naval Air Station Oceana Fuel Truck and Hot Pit Refueling Concept Validation Report” by Booz Allen Hamilton has made all of those considerations.
