Standards Development

Abstract

This project provides for the identification, study, design, development, demonstration, test, evaluation, and qualification of standard avionics capabilities for Navy use, and wherever practicable, use across all Services and Foreign Military Sales. Such air combat electronics developments include communications and airborne networking, navigation and sensors, flight avionics, safety systems, and flight mission information systems for both forward fit and retrofit aircraft. These efforts continue to maintain federated systems while encouraging transition of procurements to support a modular system for enhanced performance and affordability. Consideration is given up front to reduce acquisition costs through larger procurement quantities that satisfy multi-aircraft customer requirements and that reduce life cycle costs in the areas of reliability, maintainability, and training. This project also provides a Navy-wide program to develop required calibration standards (hardware) in all major measurement technology areas in support of Navy Hull, Mechanical and Electrical (HM&E) systems as well as Navy Weapons systems, ground and air, throughout the Fleet. It funds Navy lead-service responsibilities in the Department of Defense and Joint Services Metrology Research and Development program. This project supports the military requirement to verify the performance of all test systems used to validate the operation of HM&E as well as Navy Weapon Systems with calibration standards traceable to the National Institute of Standards and Technology. JUSTIFICATION FOR BUDGET ACTIVITY: This program is funded under SYSTEM DEVELOPMENT AND DEMONSTRATION because it includes those projects that have passed Milestone B approval and are conducting engineering and manufacturing development tasks aimed at meeting validated requirement prior to full-rate production decision.

• Change Summary Explanation: Technical: Not applicable. Schedule: 0572: Communication Navigation Surveillance/Air Traffic Management - Develop Mode S Diversity requirements for developmental platforms ended 4Q/13. Evaluation of Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast (ADS-B (Out)) technologies/develop solutions to support platform integrations delayed after 1Q/14 due to FY14 Congressional Reductions. Will resume 1Q/16 to incorporate ISSUE# 51203 efforts to evaluate updates to Federal Avaiation Administration ADS-B (Out) mandate. CH-53K and E-2D ADS-B (Out) test and evaluation efforts added 1Q/16 to 4Q/18. Tactical Communications - Crypto Algorithm Assess/Dev line extended through 4Q/14 to address National Security Agency (NSA) specification change and addition of Tactical Secure Voice 2. Added a new line for 1Q/17 to 2Q/19 labeled "Crypto Engine Design". This addresses a solution change to develop/embed a Fixed Point Gate Array based crypto engine in the Gen5 radio meeting NSA requirements. Under the software (S/W) release milestones, removed the release numbers. The numbers previously reflected the base radio release last digit of the part number. The numbers are not appropriate since they are changed when a nomenclature change occurs. It is best to just indicate the release event and eliminate the confusion if the number was included. Joint Interoperability Test Command and NSA certifications were added/adjusted to reflect test and evaluation events. Production Milestone S/W release events were adjusted to reflect a refined schedule. Ground Proximity Warning System/Terrain Awareness Warning System (GPWS/TAWS) - Milestone B schedule delayed 3Q/13 to 3Q/14 due to Platform Integration contract award date (they are combining TAWS II platform integration with Communication Navigation Surveillance/Air Traffic Management software development efforts (Required Navigation Performance Area Navigation and Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast (Out)) and to align with the completion of technical evaluation for combined Lockheed Martin Services, Inc. integration contract. H-1 GPWS S/W Development extended to 4Q/13 due to need for second deficiency correction build for GPWS S/W. H-1 GPWS Development Test extended to 1Q/15 due to need to test the second deficiency correction build for GPWS S/W and meet H-1 Software Configuration Set 7.0 platform Operational Flight Plan delays. H-60 Terrain Awareness Warning System II (TAWS II) software development extended to 4Q/15 to align with platform System Configuration 17 schedule milestones. H-60 TAWS II Development Test adjusted to align with platform System Configuration 17 schedule milestones was 3Q/15 to 3Q/16 now 2Q/16 to 2Q/17. Military Flight Operations Quality Assurance - Phase 2 Fielding Decision moved from 2Q/16 to 4Q/15 and Phase 2 squadron deliveries of MH-60R/S, CH-53E and AH-1Z/UH-1Y moved from 3Q/16 to 4Q/15 due to lessons learned during Phase 1 testing resulting in a shift of Phase 2 test and evaluation efforts. Collaborative Warfare - Changed Title of Flex 13 to TRIDENT WARRIOR 13 in FY13. Changed title Next Gate 1 Resource Requirement Review Board (R3B) to Tactical Networking Requirements R3B and adjusted 4Q/13 to 2Q/14 due to re-scope of effort to include broader requirements solicited from analysis such as the Joint Tactical Networking Concept of Employment and fleet needs such as Integrated Priority Lists and Urgent Operational Needs. Added TRIDENT WARRIOR 15 to schedule to demonstrate the military utility of a netted sensors Family of Systems as an evolution of TRIDENT WARRIOR 13. It will use Common Operating Environments to run collaborative multi-intelligence correlation software across platforms and domains to enhance targeting capabilities. Added Naval Aviation Tactical Networking Requirements in order to align with requirements strategy. Mid Air Collision Avoidance Capability - FY14 Congressional Reduction resulted in the following schedule changes: Analysis of Alternatives complete in 1Q/15, Materiel Development Decision/Acquisition Strategy Review from 3Q/14 to 2Q/15, Capability Development Document complete from 1Q/14 to 1Q/16, removal of Pre-Engineering, Manufacturing and Development phase, Milestone B from 3Q/14 to 2Q/16, Milestone C from 1Q/18 to 1Q/19, Specification Review Board, System Readiness Review, and System Functional Review from 2Q/14 to 2Q/15, Preliminary Design Review from 4Q/14 to 3Q/15, Critical Design Review from 1Q/15 to 2Q/16, Software Design and Development from 4Q/14 to 3Q/15, Platform Integration and Test Support from 1Q/15 to 3Q/15, MH-60R/S integration from 1Q/15 to 1Q/16, UH-1Y/AH-1Z integration from 4Q/15 to 3Q/16, added F/A-18 integration in 3Q/18, MH-60R/S test and evaluation from 1Q/16 to 1Q/17, UH-1Y/AH-1Z test and evaluation from 1Q/17 to 1Q/18, and added F/A-18 in 3Q/19. 2311: Acquisition Milestone Changes: Due to funding reductions in FY13, the Weaponeering and Stores Planning (WASP) product development, testing, and Initial Operational Capability (IOC) schedules for V3.2, and all versions thereafter, have been delayed.
