Aviation Improvements

Abstract

Project 0601 - Common Ground Equipment is a Naval Aviation Project to apply new technology to common support equipment due to obsolescence necessary to support multiple systems/aircraft within the Navy. 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. 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: $7.103M overall PE increase since the previous President's Budget submission due to the following adjustments: Project 0601: Increase of $6.885M for I-Level Engine Test Instrumentation Replacement System (ETIRS) Programmatic Adjustment/Misc Adjustments. Project 0852: Decrease of $.108 million for rate/misc adjustments. Project 1356: Increase of $5.473 million for corrosion prevention improvement. Project 1355: Reduced by $4.211 million for Programmatic/Rate/Misc Adjustments. Project 1041: Reduced by $.936 million for Programmatic/Rate/Misc Adjustments. Schedule: Project 0601: Engine Test Instrumentation Replacement System (ETIRS) changes include Milestone C from 2nd FY25 to 4th FY26, Milestone B from 1st FY24 to 2nd FY24, FRPDR from 2nd FY26 to 4th FY26, DT-B1 from 1st FY25 to 3rd FY26, DT-C1 from 3rd FY25 to 2nd FY27, SVR/PRR from 1st FY26 to 4th FY26, and TRR from 2nd FY25 to 3rd FY26. Changes due to finalization of ETIRS Acquisition Strategy. AMAS Production Delivery, Release 17 and 18 adjusted from 1st FY26 and 1st FY27 to 4th FY26 and 4th FY27. Change due to error in PB24. AMAS 19 and 20 Efforts added for FY28-FY29. Technical: Project 0601: Under Aviation Maintenance Advancement Solutions (AMAS) Project new Augmented Reality Remote Maintenance Services (ARRMS) effort introduced in FY25. The ARRMS is a Department of the Navy (DoN) developed software suite. Providing real-time communication between a Subject Matter Expert (SME) and a maintainer.
