GERALD R FORD CI NUC AIRCRAFT CARRIER CVN 78-80

Abstract

This Navy program addresses unique technologies on Ford Class carriers. The program includes: - (2208) - Development of ship hull, mechanical, propulsion, electrical, aviation, and combat support systems, subsystems and components to significantly improve aircraft carrier affordability, manpower requirements, survivability, and operational capabilities, and to meet the requirements of existing and pending regulations and statutes critical to the operation of existing and future aircraft carriers. - (4004) - Development of an advanced technology aircraft launch system in support of the CVN 78 Class design and construction schedule. The Electro Magnetic Aircraft Launch System (EMALS) will replace the current steam catapult on CVN 78 Class ships. EMALS provides better control of applied forces, both peak and transient dynamic, improved reliability and maintainability, increased operational availability and reduced operator and maintainer workload. - (9999) - Development of a CVN electronic personnel qualification standards system (EPQS). This Program Element (PE) and associated projects represent a continuation of efforts previously funded under PE 0603512N projects 2208 and 4004 in FY 2014 and earlier.

Change Summary Explanation
2208 CVN 21 The FY 2021 reprogramming of $9.999 million was for Full Ship Shock Trials (FSST) on CVN 78. 4004 EMALS Cost: The FY 2023 funding request was reduced by $0.447 million to account for the availability of prior year execution balances. The FY 2022 funding realigned from Depot Stand-Up to Depot Planning due to FY 2021 funding for depot planning being realigned to Integrated Test & Evaluation (IT&E) to address the top system safety issue for EMALS Block Switch Sensor (BSS), which was identified during CVN78 Post Delivery Test & Trials (PDT&T). Depot Planning efforts have been reprioritized through FY 2023 to align with Depot Stand-Up strategy, and will be performed concurrently with Depot Stand-Up to establish component repair and overhaul capability. Technical: N/A Schedule: Updated to include additional detail for further clarification. Fleet Interim Training end date moved from 4Q FY2022 to 4Q FY2023 Phased Depot Stand-Up (Component and Overhaul) start moved from 1Q FY2022 to 2Q FY2022 EMALS Reliability Deadloads and EMALS Launch Control Subsystem (LCS) Environmental Qualification Testing (EQT) moved from 2Q FY2021 to 1Q FY2021 Renamed EMALS Training Development to EMALS Interim Training on R4A for consistency. --- FY 2023 funding increase reflects the fact that the FY 2022 President’s Budget request did not include out-year funding.
