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) - The Electromagnetic Aircraft Launch System (EMALS) is an advanced technology system developed as part of, and integrated on new FORD Class Carrier ships, beginning with CVN78. EMALS provides better control of applied forces, both peak and transient dynamic loads, improved reliability and maintainability, increased operational availability, and reduced operator and maintainer workload. The EMALS program will undergo future system improvements to address safety, obsolescence, and reliability. 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 and PE 0604567N projects 3179, 3180, and 4007 in FY 2023 and earlier.
