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 is a standardized Automated Test Equipment with computer assisted, multi-function capabilities to support the maintenance of aircraft subsystems and missiles. Project 1041 - Aircraft Equipment Reliability/Maintainability Improvement Program 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 develops reliability and maintainability and safety enhancements for in-service Navy aircraft engines, transmissions, propellers, starters, auxiliary power units, electrical generating systems, fuel systems, fuels, and lubricants. Project 2269 - The Expeditionary Airfields (EAF) program designs, develops, tests and fields a sustainment lighting system to replace existing obsolete legacy EAF lighting system. JUSTIFICATION FOR BUDGET ACTIVITY: This program is funded under OPERATIONAL SYSTEMS DEVELOPMENT because it includes development efforts to upgrade systems that have been fielded or have received approval for full rate production and anticipate funding in the current or subsequent fiscal year.

Change Summary Explanation
The FY 2016 funding request was reduced by $2.703 million to account for the availability of prior year execution balances. Cost: Project 2269: Funding was added to the Expeditionary Airfields budget in FY 2015 for the "Center of Excellence" which includes an airfield to be used by USA/USAF and USMC for exercises (including joint) and potentially expeditionary airfield installation/removal drills. Funding was added to the Expeditionary Airfields budget in FY 2016 by $4.0 million, FY 2017 by $5.5 million and FY 2018 by $14.9 million to properly price the Sustainment Lighting System effort. Schedule: Project 0601: Aircraft Spotting Dolly and Carrier/Amphibious Assault Ship Crash Crane schedule delayed as a result of the majority of funding being re-directed to a higher priority program within Project 0852. Project 0852: eCASS Full Rate Production Decision Review/Full Rate Procurement moved to 3rd Quarter FY 2016 due to the acceleration of DT-C2 Testing which concludes in 2nd Quarter FY 2016. Project 1041: Wiring Diagnostics & Prognostics and Subsystem Improvement Iniatives were extended from 4th Quarter FY 2016 to 4th Quarter FY 2020. Corrosion Prevention & Control and Advanced Methods of Structural Repair are extended from 4th Quarter FY 2015 to 4th Quarter FY 2020. Extensions are due to continuation of reliability, maintainability and safety improvements. Project 2269: Milestone B moved from third quarter of fiscal year 2014 to first quarter of 2015 due to contract negotiation delays. As a result the other milestones, reviews and testing schedules were updated to support the Milestone B decision Technical: Not Applicable.
