JT Precision Approach & Ldg Sys
Abstract
A. Mission Description and Budget Item Justification The Joint Precision Approach and Landing System (JPALS) is the primary precision approach and landing system for CVN and LH ships to support aircraft without SPN-46 ACLS capability including F-35B, F-35C, UCLASS and future platforms. JPALS ship systems are required to provide CVN and LH ships a precision approach capability down to 200' ceiling and 1/2 nm visibility weather, a coupled approach capability to a 200' decision height and 1/2 nm for LH ships, and coupled approach to the deck (auto-land) capability aboard CVN ships. JPALS also provides the over-the-air inertial alignment capability for CVN and LH ships to support aircraft platforms without Link-4A capability, including F-35, UCLASS and future platforms. JUSTIFICATION FOR BUDGET ACTIVITY: This program is funded under ADVANCED COMPONENT DEVELOPMENT AND PROTOTYPES because it includes all efforts necessary to evaluate integrated technologies, representative models or prototype systems in high fidelity and realistic operating environment.
