Corrosion Is An Enemy!
CHP is a Weapon!

The Reality
CORROSION COST DOD $20 + BILLION ANNUALLY!
COST OF CORROSION TO ARMY VEHICLES $2.4 BILLION ANNUALLY
COST OF CORROSION TO ARMY MISSILES $1.6 BILLION ANNUALLY!
COST OF CORROSION TO ARMY AVIATION $1.2 Billion ANNUALLY!
20% OF ALL ELECTRONIC COMPONENT FAILURES RESULT FROM
MOISTURE INDUCED CORROSION!
“At a time when the nation faces increased financial constraints, it is important for both DOD
and Congress to be in a position to weigh the trade-offs between competing requirements
and risk associated with degraded equipment readiness, so that they can make sound
investment decisions on the use of the funding”

CHP Applications
Sheltered (LTP/MLTP) and Unsheltered (OP)
Sheltered CHP uses a new
or converted shelter as
the protection envelope.
Fort Pickett, VA
Ft Riley, KS
Unsheltered CHP (OP) uses
the vehicle or aircraft to
create the protection
envelope.
BOTH CHP APPLICATIONS ALLOW UNLIMITED
ACCESS TO EQUIPMENT!
CHP Shelter Applications
Provide:
Protection for entire vehicle and
installed equipment from corrosion
damage.
Regulatory Compliant deferral of
all MAINTENANCE ACTIONS while in
CHP for up to 60 months.
Regulatory Compliant Reporting Mission ready equipment in CHP
remains reportable as mission ready.
Significant Cost avoidance in
manpower and parts.

•The M1A1 Tank Turret
contains electronic
components – Total
Value – $596,837.00.
•Cost of a Controlled
Humidity Protection
(CHP – OP) System
for 20 M1 Tanks –
$100,000.00.
CHP system provides stabile low humidity
air to entire turret area
•Total value of electronic components protected by a single CHP system - $11,936,755.00.
•Failure data shows that USMC II MEF’s 72 M1s experienced and average of 59 failures of
these components per year at an annual value of $1,793,964.00.
•Studies confirm 20% of ALL electronic failures result from moisture induced
corrosion and that CHP is confirmed as eliminating moisture induced corrosion.
•Reducing LRU failure costs by 20% provides an annual $358,792.00
of cost avoidance in parts alone per OP Line.
CHP OPERATIONAL SYSTEM
NGB CHP Program
 Initiated as SBIR Phase II Demonstration by ARNG LOG in 1994 at MN and MS to access
CHP capability to:
** Reduce maintenance costs
** Reduce corrosion damage
** Conserve limited resources
** Sustain or Increase readiness
 ARNG expanded into full program in 1996 with implementation continuing today.
 ANG initiated demonstration of CHP in 2005 based on ARNG realized success and need to
reduce impacts of corrosion related damage on ANG systems.
** F-15/KC135/ AGE at Hickam AFB in 2005
** ANG continued implementation in SC for F-16s/C-130
 ARNG Aviation demonstration initiated in 2010 in VA and SC but full usage delayed due to
deployments.
 On continuous CHP contract since 1994 with contract in effect today.
** W9133L-08-D-0017
DOD and DHS Expand CHP Implementation to Gain
Resource Control In Constrained Environment
USMC – 102 Systems for tanks, artillery, vehicles at 19 Sites world wide provides
improvements in total readiness while reducing total cost of corrosion.
USAF – Implemented 75 systems for F-22, C-130s, F-15s and Pave Hawks
at 3 sites with 41 additional systems in approval process.
USCG – Implemented 101 systems at 28 sites with plans to outfit entire 211 AC
fleet. Dispatch rates up 9% and LRU failures down 4.65% / 1000 flight hrs.
USA – Four systems at two sites for Strykers and PREPO Ship Prep.
Navy – 16 systems at 12 sites for V22 and EP3 aircraft and electronic equipment storage.

Controlled Humidity Protection
 Army National Guard Realized a $1.2B dollar cost avoidance benefit for a $75M investment.
CHP cited as the most beneficial component of the Corrosion Prevention Program.
 Ohio NG reported a $32M manpower cost avoidance between FY96-FY08 at Ravenna Depot.
In comparing two Avenger units, the unit utilizing controlled humidity protection had 83% fewer
Single Stock Fund expenditures.
 USCG achieved 9% improvement in “dispatch rates” and a reduction of 4.34 failures per 1000
flight hours for 6 avionic components. Implementing CHP fleet-wide.
 The USMC identifies CHP as a key component of a total Corrosion Prevention Program stating
that it:





Reduces the need for corrective maintenance,
Increases equipment usability and safety,
Increases opportunity for training and operations,
Reduces the overall total cost of equipment ownership to the Marine Corps, and
Improves readiness and decreases maintenance costs.
 PACAF increasing CHP utilization to meet corrosion-related readiness challenges.
