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 weapons systems and missiles. Electronic Warfare (EW) and Communication, Navigation and Identification (CNI) testers another type of standardized Automated Test Equipment with computer assisted, multi-function capabilities to support the maintenance of aircraft weapons systems. ATE host, and their Test Program Sets, along with associated ancillary are considered Automatic Test Systems (ATS). Line adjusted from "eCASS Modernization", to "ATS Modernization" to reflect inclusion of Electronic Warfare (EW) and Communication, Navigation and Identification (CNI) testers. 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 1356 - Corrosion Prevention Improvements supports Flag Officer (FO) endorsed N98 FRT initiative # POM24-28. This funding will enable the NAE to establish a Center of Excellence for Corrosion and Finish (CoECF) Training focused on educating, training, and certifying qualified, proficient maintainers capable of performing: corrosion identification, corrosion inspection, corrosion prevention, corrosion repair and restoration. Qualified, proficient maintainers will improve material readiness through improved material condition, while also developing the knowledge & maintenance skills of Sailors and Marines. 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
Funding: $5.317M overall PE increase since the previous President's Budget submission due to the following adjustments: Project 0357: Increase of $2.M for IFDIS fault detection. Project 0601: Increase of $6.973 million for emergent requirement for Engine Test Instrumentation Replacement System (ETIRS) to address a projected shortfall in Navy and USMC aircraft engine test capability and working capital fund rate adjustments. Project 0852: Decrease of $2.200 million realigned to 0601 in support of emergent requirement ETIRS and $0.188M for working capital fund rate adjustments. Project 1041: Decrease of $1.329M for Program Adjustments. Project 1355: Program was reduced by $4.007M, $2.618M to fund other department higher priorities, and $0.133M for working capital fund rate adjustments and other program adjustments. Project 1356: Increase of $4.010M for the commencement of a new project units for corrosion prevention improvements. Schedule: Project 0601: Schedule for Engine Test Instrumentation Replacement System (ETIRS) added to R-4 and R-4A. Project 0852: EO4 DT-B1 Phase 3 quarter slide left result of working with the contractor team to reduce overall schedule of the program by harnessing opportunities for efficiencies in the Testing process. Project 2269: N/A Technical: Project 0601: Engine Test Instrumentation Replacement System (ETIRS) increase needed to replace legacy test instrumentation first fielded in 2002. Legacy Variants are experiencing major obsolescence and sustainment challenges impacting availability driving the need for development of ETIRS. ETIRS will include development of replacement test instrumentation and unique Test Program Sets to provide the required engine test and repair capability at USN and USMC repair sites.
