The Navy fleet’s overall material condition declined slightly in fiscal 2022, “resuming a slight but steady negative trend” that has occurred since fiscal 2017, according to the Navy’s annual Board of Inspection and Survey, or INSURV, report released by the Navy on Friday.
The report notes that the negative trend “is more notable” due to changes in INSURV calculations that adhere more closely to Joint Fleet Maintenance Manual metrics.
INSURV also removed major system demonstration and administrative program scores from the INSURV Figure of Merit, or IFOM, calculations.
“The updated IFOM calculation generates a more focused measure of overall material condition,” the report states.
