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 AN/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, and contested environments. 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. This budget also ensures required capability improvements to JPALS shipboard systems is accomplished, to ensure the successful integration of Landing Autonomous Navigation Technology for Enhanced Recovery to Navy Ships (LANTERNS). LANTERNS is a technological improvement being researched by Future Naval Capabilities/Advanced Technology Development (PE 0603673N) to ensure the continued development of enhanced, Precise Ship-Relative Navigation (PS-RN) for reliable autonomous ship recovery of Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) in all weather, high deck motion environments. The FNC research is centered on aircraft systems. The JPALS RDT&E supports integration of LANTERNS into the JPALS shipboard systems, delivering lethality through resilient launch and recovery operations in contested environments and during Distributed Maritime Operations. 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.
