Acft Handling & Service Equip

Abstract

Common Ground Equipment (CGE) is a Naval Aviation project to apply new technology to common support equipment necessary to support multiple systems/aircraft within the Navy. The common support equipment items developed with this budget are briefed to the Air Force, Army and Coast Guard for possible use in joint procurement in the production phase. New Programs are Hydraulic Test Stand (HTS) in FY11 and Aircraft Spotting Dolly (ASD) in FY12. The HTS is an R&D program to develop next generation HTS for testing Aircraft Hydraulic system components at the intermediate level of maintenance, both ship and shore based. ASD is an R&D program to develop next generation ASD. New ASD requires low profile and alternative power to allow safe spotting of all aircraft aboard carrier/amphibious class ships. The Expeditionary Airfields (EAF) program is a FY2012 New Start, formerly under PE 0603512N PU 2269. It will design, develop, test and field components of a heat resistant light weight airfield surfacing system and a heat resistant lighting system that will support the deployment of the Joint Strike Fighter in austere environments worldwide. These systems will provide EAF Marine Wing Support Squadrons with the required EAF equipments to install Forward Operating Bases (FOB) and Forward Arming and Refueling Points (FARP). With the deployment of this equipment, the Marine Wing Support Squadron (MWSS) can support all USMC aircraft allowing the Combatant Commanders the flexibility to deploy Aircraft Combat Elements (ACE) to meet anticipated threats. PEMA funding supports the evaluation, testing and integration to develop Portable Electronic Maintenance Aids (PEMA) COTS solution for portable device deployments across the Naval Aviation Enterprise (NAE). PEMA is a portable device utilized by maintainers with the implementation of digital maintenance capabilities (digital publications, Interactive Electronic Technical Manuals, Internet Protocol (IP) based data uploads, BInary digiT (BIT) data downloads, automated diagnostics, and planeside NALCOMIS). PEMAs are a mandatory display device supporting modern day Automated Maintenance Environment implemented for weapon systems.
