JNT 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 Automatic Carrier Landing Systems (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 efforts include 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 environments.
