Cv International Secures U.S. Air Force Maintenance Contract
The U.S. Air Force has tapped Prineville-based Cv International to design and install a modular maintenance work stand system at Tinker Air Force Base. The project aims to modernize the 76th Aircraft Maintenance Group's operations, focusing on accelerating turnaround times and enhancing safety for personnel servicing heavy aircraft.
The contract requires Cv International to deliver high-tech platforms that integrate seamlessly with existing infrastructure, such as Conect/Crown and Staircase stands. These new systems will feature motorized height adjustments and built-in power, lighting, and compressed air, allowing technicians to navigate complex repairs with greater agility. Beyond physical hardware, the company is tasked with producing comprehensive CAD models and engineering documentation to standardize future maintenance workflows.
CEO Dan Warden emphasized that the equipment must function as an extension of the existing depot environment rather than an isolated tool. To meet strict military requirements, the company is leveraging its ISO 9001:2015-certified quality management system and its history in ground support engineering. By prioritizing field verification and precision fabrication, the manufacturer intends to reduce the time aircraft spend in the hangar, directly supporting the mission-capable rates of the Oklahoma-based fleet.
