Aviation Improvements

Abstract

Project 0601 - Common Ground Equipment is a Naval Aviation Project to apply new technology to common support equipment necessary to support multiple aircraft. Project 0852 - Consolidated Automated Support System (CASS) is a standardized Automated Test Equipment (ATE) with computer assisted, multi-function capabilities to support the maintenance of aircraft subsystems and missiles. Project 1041 - Aircraft Equipment Reliability/Maintainability Improvement Program (AERMIP) is the only Navy program that provides engineering support for in-service out-of-production aircraft equipment, and provides increased readiness at reduced operational and support cost. Project 1355 - Aircraft Engine Component Improvement Program (CIP) develops reliability and maintainability (R&M) and safety enhancements for in-service Navy aircraft engines, transmissions, propellers, starters, auxiliary power units, electrical generating systems, fuel systems, fuels, and lubricants. Project 3190 - is the Multi-Purpose Bomb Rack (MPBR). The MPBR will replace the BRU-41/42/33/55 and provide use for both tactical and training stores on one common rack. The MPBR will be integrated on the F/A-18E/F as part of this project. Project 9999 is Congressional Adds.

Change Summary Explanation
Schedule: Project 0601 - Operational test has been removed from all accomplishments/planned programs (Next Generation Munitions Handler (NGMH), Tuboprop Engine Test Instrumention (TETI), Shipboard Firefighting Vehicle (SFV), Aircraft Spotting Dolly (ASD), and Hydraulic Test Stand (HTS)) since it is not required for non-ACAT designated programs. The Government phase of Development Testing will provide the required evaluation. The P-25 Shipboard Firefighting Vehicle (SFV) Team conducted a technology assessment of SFV requirements, new technology and component obsolescence. It was determined that the SFV still meets all shipboard firefighting requirements. However, key components must be replaced due to obsolescence to extend the life of the SFV. Therefore, the decision was made to replace key components (like the engine and water pumps) via the Engineering Change Proposal (ECP) process and to install the new components via a Conversion In Lieu Of Procurement (CILOP) process. Aircraft Spotting Dolly (ASD) has been delayed one year. Project 0852 - The eCASS schedule slipped due to a delay in finalizing the product specifications. As the acquisition plan was approved, the test strategy was modified. Project 1041 - Systems Engineering Revitalization: includes additional dollars for Assistant Secretary of the Navy for Research, Development, and Acquisition (ASN(RDA)) for a Navy-wide systems engineering initiative. Several projects starting in FY10 were results of investigations to be high value on return on investment. Project 3190 - The MPBR Contract Award for Engineering and Manufacturing Development (EMD) was delayed approximately 6 months. Subsequently, Developmental Test and Evaluation (DT&E) and Integrated Test and Evaluation (IT&E) were also delayed. Project 9999 - Congressional Adds. Technical: Not Applicable FY11 from previous President's Budget is shown as zero because no FY11-15 data was presented in President's Budget 2010.
