Acft Handling & Service Equip

Abstract

Common Ground Equipment 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. Crash cranes are used for lifting and moving disabled aircraft on CVN and L-Class ship flight decks. The Carrier/Amphibious Assault Ship Crash Crane (CV/AACC) will be a diesel powered lift system performing crash and salvage functions on board CVN and L-class ships. The CV/AACC will replace the legacy A/S32A-35A, Carrier Vessel Crash Crane (CVCC) and the A/S32A-36A Amphibious Assault Crash Crane (AACC). The CV/AACC will support all aircraft on CVN and L-Class ships. Funding supports the evaluation, testing and integration to develop Portable Electronic Maintenance Aids (PEMA) Commercial Off the Shelf solution for portable device deployments across the Naval Aviation Enterprise. PEMA is a portable device utilized by maintainers with the implementation of digital maintenance capabilities (digital publications, Interactive Electronic Technical Manuals, Internet Protocol based data uploads, Binary digit data downloads, automated diagnostics, and planeside Naval Aviation Logistics Command/Management Information System. PEMAs are a mandatory display device supporting modern day Automated Maintenance Environment implemented for weapon systems. Future Readiness Initiative to Develop Standard PEMA Cyber Solution (SPECS) architecture for all Portable Electronic Maintenance Aids (PEMA)s to standardize software across NAE, leverage existing enterprise tools, and to correct cyber shortfalls identified by the Cyber Warfare Detachment (CWD). A Cyber Risk Assessment (CRA) identified vulnerabilities on the Portable Electronic Maintenance Aid (PEMA) system that could be exploited to threaten U.S. capabilities. A new software image and configuration management process has been identified to mitigate the top 60% of identified risk groups and 100% of penetration test findings from the CRA. The Abbreviated Acquisition Program (AAP) will be executed as a software Engineering Change Proposal (ECP) to the PEMA POR using a Model 3: Incrementally Deployed Software Intensive Program / Agile method.
