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 weapons systems 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 2020 funding request was reduced by $9.000 million to account for the availability of prior year execution balances. FY 2020 increase to standup Fourth Generation Electro-Optic (EO4) program and award the development contract. Schedule: Project 0852: The Fourth Generation Electro-Optic (EO4) development program will design, develop, integrate, and test a modernized electro-optic system to replace the legacy Third Generation Electro-Optic (EO3) systems which are experiencing untenable obsolescence issues. The continuation of this repair capability at both shore-based and afloat sites is critical to sustain maintenance and repair capabilities for the F/A-18 Advanced Targeting Forward Looking Infrared (ATFLIR) and the H-60 Multi-Spectral Targeting (MTS) weapon systems. EO4 funds support development of tester to replace legacy EO3. Program schedule added to budget. The Test Technology development project includes continued development of technical solutions to meet emerging weapons system testing requirements and to resolve other imminent obsolescence issues. Emerging capability requirements include advanced inertial device, expanded high-speed bus, virtual instrument, cybersecurity, and other technology advancements required to address capability requirements. Project 2269: Due to system maturity design concerns with the Lead Systems Integrator (LSI), the Sustainment Lighting System (SLS) program was re-scoped to focus on the development of a new Light Emitting Diode (LED) CAT I Instrumented Flight Rules (IFR)/Visual Flight Rules (VFR) Approach Light System and the schedule has been updated accordingly. The following are changes to the schedule as a result: Added Systems Engineering Support from 1QFY 2018 to 2Q FY 2021; Hardware/Software System Design and Development end date moved from 1Q FY 2019 to 3Q FY 2019; Critical Design Review (CDR) moved from 4Q FY 2017 to 2Q FY 2019; Test Readiness Review (TRR) moved from 1Q FY 2018 to 3Q FY 2019; Developmental Test & Evaluation (DT&E) start date moved from 1Q FY 2018 to 3Q FY 2019 and the end date moved from 3Q FY 2018 to 4Q 2019; Combined Integration Test and Operational Test was moved from 1Q FY 2019 to 4Q FY 2019; Production Readiness Review (PRR) was added to 2Q FY 2020; Milestone C moved from 4Q FY 2019 to 3Q FY 2020; Full Rate Production decision moved from 2Q FY 2020 to 1Q FY 2021; IOC moved from 2Q FY 2020 to1Q FY2021. Technical: Not Applicable.
