JNT Precision Approach & Ldg Sys

Abstract

The FY 2022 funding request was reduced by $1.778 million to account for the availability of prior year execution balances. 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. The Landing Autonomous Navigation Technology for Enhanced Recovery to Navy Ships (LANTERNS) Future Naval Capabilities (FNC) program will execute an industry/government collaborative technology development program required to enhance Navy and Marine Corps unmanned, and potentially manned, platforms' Precision Ship-Relative Navigation (PS-RN) in a contested environment. LANTERNS will provide shipboard unmanned aircraft resilient launch and recovery during Distributed Maritime Operations (DMO). 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.
