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 Airfield Light Systems 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
Cost: The FY 2022 funding requestion was updated for the following adjustments: - Reduction of $2.649M to account for the availability of prior year execution balances - Reduction of $4.939M for various support and working capital fund rate changes. - Increase of $6.400M in Project 0852 to support eCASS Modernization/Product Improvement Future Readiness Team Initiative for HTS offload to CASS (svgs) and targeted ATE modernization. - Increase of $3.500M in Project 0852 for the FY22 procurement and delivery of five (5) EO4 engineering development models to include the EO4 carts, fixtures, and required technical and logistical data. Schedule: Project 0601: Carrier/Amphibious Assault Ship Crash Crane (CV/AACC) identified several significant design changes were incorporated via contract mod to reduce technical risk associated with maneuverability and lifting stability resulting in a six month schedule slip. Project 0601: Aviation Maintenance Advancement Solutions (AMAS) - PEMA/SPECS Image development, Regression Testing, Unique TMS, Independent Validation & Verification were adjusted to meet cyber security mandate that updates will occur monthly instead of quarterly. Project 2269: Design maturity with the Lead System Integrator (LSI) for the Sustainment Lighting System (SLS) program was re-scoped in FY19 and out to focus on the development of a new Light Emitting Diode (LED) CAT I Visual Flight Rules (VFR) Approach Light System and a Night Vision Device (NVD) Compatible Runway Light System. Schedule milestones were updated for the following: LED CATI Instrumented Flight Rules (IFR)/Visual Flight Rules (VFR) Approach Light System: MS C moved from 1Q FY21 to 4Q FY21; Systems Engineering end date moved from 2Q FY21 to 4Q FY21. Night Vision Device (NVD) Compatible Runway Light System: IOC moved from 2Q FY23 to 4Q FY23; CDR moved from 1Q FY21 to 3Q FY21; TRR moved 2Q FY21 to 4Q FY21; DT&E start date moved from 2Q FY21 to 4Q FY21 and end date moved from 4Q FY21 to 1Q FY22; IT/OT start date moved from 1Q FY22 to 3Q FY22 and end date moved from 2Q FY22 to 4Q FY22; FRP moved from 4Q FY22 to 4Q FY23. Technical: Project 0601: Carrier/Amphibious Assault Ship Crash Crane (CV/AACC) contract modified to incorporate design changes that significantly reduces technical risks identified in the contractor's original proposal. The contract modification includes removing the active load management system, in favor of a fixed idler system, incorporating in-riggers on the L-Class variant, and fixing the rear steering axle to the crane's chassis. These technical changes mitigate the program's significant technical risks at a trade-off of approximately five months schedule.
