JT Precision Approach & Ldg Sys

Abstract

This program element provides for the development, integration, and testing of the Joint Precision Approach and Landing System (JPALS), which will be applicable to Department of Defense (DoD) Ground systems, DoD aircraft, and Navy and Coast Guard air capable surface ships. JPALS will provide a rapidly deployable, adverse weather, adverse terrain, day-night precision approach and landing capability. Operating environments include fixed or permanent ground facilities, tactical facilities, and shipboard. JPALS will be interoperable with civil landing systems. The JPALS program was established in response to the Joint Mission Needs Statement (MNS) for Precision Approach and Landing Capability (PALC), which was approved by the Chief of Naval Operations on 28 July 1994 and the Chief of Staff of the Air Force on 8 August 1994. The PALC MNS was validated by the Joint Requirements Oversight Council (JROC) on 29 August 1995. Army Joint Service participation was included in the 28 May 1996 Principal Deputy Under Secretary of Defense (Acquisition and Technology) Milestone 0 Acquisition Decision Memorandum, which also designated the Air Force as the Lead Service. In March 2004, the JPALS Overarching Integrated Program Team determined that the MNS should be converted to an Initial Capabilities Document (ICD). The JPALS ICD was approved by the JROC on 19 September 2005. On 16 March 2007 JROCM approved the JPALS Capability Development Document and designated the Navy as the Lead Service. The Analysis of Alternatives was finalized in 3Q FY2007. Milestone B was met 14 July 2008. At Milestone B, the Milestone Decision Authority separated Increment 1 into Inc 1A and Inc 1B.
