Carrier Systems Development

Abstract

This Navy unique program addresses all technology areas associated with Navy/Marine Corps aircraft operations aboard ships. The program includes: - (2208) - Development of ship hull, mechanical, propulsion, electrical, aviation, and combat support systems, subsystems and components to significantly improve aircraft carrier affordability, manpower requirements, survivability, and operational capabilities, and to meet the requirements of existing and pending regulations and statutes critical to the operation of existing and future aircraft carriers. Funding for this project continues in PE 0604112N in FY 15 and later. - (3216) - The AN/SQQ-34 Aircraft Carrier Tactical Support Center (CV-TSC) contributes to Aircraft Carrier (CVN) self defense capabilities. The system provides shipboard support of multi-mission aircraft operating organic to the CVN or under control of the Carrier Strike Group (CSG), providing primary mission support for Anti-Submarine Warfare (ASW) and Surface Warfare (SUW). The AN/SQQ-34 also provides auxiliary support for secondary missions such as search and rescue. The system provides the capability to collect, process, analyze, display, and distribute sensor and tactical data in support of detection, classification, and localization of targets. The AN/SQQ-34 is incrementally upgraded to support new air platforms and their sensors, centrally integrate ASW capabilities on the CVN, transition maturing technologies, and maintain interoperability with interfacing systems. The system provides support for both rotary wing aircraft (MH-60R/S) and future support for fixed wing aircraft operating within the CSG (P-8, Triton Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS)). Beginning in FY16 , Project 3216 will support the design and development of a multi-application, cross-platform boundary defense capability as directed by the Chief of Naval Operations (CNO) and Assistant Secretary of the Navy Research, Development & Acquisition (ASN (RDA)) via the Task Force Cyber Awakening (TFCA) Advisory Board. - (4004) - Development of an advanced technology aircraft launch system in support of the CVN 78 Class design and construction schedule. The Electro Magnetic Aircraft Launch System (EMALS) will replace the current steam catapult on CVN 78 Class ships. EMALS provides better control of applied forces, both peak and transient dynamic, improved reliability and maintainability, increased operational availability and reduced operator and maintainer workload. Funding for this project continues in PE 0604112N in FY 15 and later. - (4005) - The In-Service Carrier Systems Development Demonstration and Validation program exploits available technologies to deliver an affordable, robust, operator-friendly automation control environment for Navy Aircraft Carrier shipboard equipment. The program provides the system architecture, requirements/specification development, technology selection, software development (including software baseline), as well as land-based and shipboard testing of new technologies to improve shipboard operations and to reduce workload, manpower requirements, and Total Ownership Costs (TOC).
