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 LHA/D ships to support aircraft without SPN-46 ACLS capability including F-35B, F-35C, MQ-25A and future platforms. JPALS ship systems are required to provide CVN and LHA/D ships a primary precision approach capability during night and instrument flight conditions, including coupled approach capability to a hover transition point for LHA/D 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 LHA/D ships to support aircraft platforms without Link-4A capability, including F-35, MQ-25A and future platforms. JPALS Early Operational Capability is required to support initial F-35 operational deployments in FY18. JPALS Effort includes addressing broadened CyberSecurity requirements to remain compliant with software CyberSecurity directives and Information Assurance mandates. 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.

• Change Summary Explanation: Technical: N/A Schedule: Updated the schedule to add JPALS installation and support for USS WASP (LHD-1) operational deployment beginning in FY17. Updated schedule to show JPALS EOC date shift from Q1 to Q4FY18 based on completion of F-35 Block 3F OT periods completing later in FY18. This has no impact on the JPALS program of record as the JPALS program is in a supporting role to F-35 OT periods and these efforts are funded by the F-35 program. All efforts to install JPALS ship systems (EDMs) and be prepared to support F-35 OT periods are either completed or on schedule. Updated schedule to show F-35 Program decision to integrate JPALS 2-way capability in F-35 Block 4.3 vice Block 4.1. JPALS UHF Data Broadcast (UDB) Precision Approach capability remains in F-35 Block 3F for installations and operational deployments beginning in FY17. The F-35 costs for Block 4 integration of JPALS capability are funded by the individual platform program offices and are maintained in their budget. The JPALS Component Cost Position and Acquisition Performance Baseline schedule milestones have already accounted for JPALS 2-way integration in F-35 Block 4.1, 4.2, or 4.3. For IOT&E and OTRR, a more detailed schedule was included in OSD18 compared to PB17. The IOT&E Phase 1 and supporting OTRR for EOC in 2Q FY18 was included in the schedule, aligned with the F-35 Block 3F shipboard OT periods. The IOT&E Phase 2 and supporting OTRR that were depicted in the PB17 in 2Q FY20 has been aligned to match the F-35 Block 4.3 shipboard OT periods which are beyond the FYDP (FY24). Financial: FY18 increase in JPALS addresses broadened CyberSecurity requirements to remain compliant with software CyberSecurity directives and Information Assurance mandates.
