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 requirements prior to full-rate production decision. The FY 2016 funding request was reduced by $7.045 million to account for the availability of prior year execution balances.

Change Summary Explanation
Technical: Not applicable. Schedule: 0572: Communication Navigation Surveillance/Air Traffic Management - Integration/Certification of 8.33 kHz, MODE S, Reduced Vertical Separation Minimum (RVSM), RNP/RNAV, and Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast (ADS-B(Out)) for E-2D removed to align with funding mandates. Evaluation of ADS-B(Out) technologies/develop solutions to support platform integrations resumes 1Q/16 to incorporate efforts to evaluate updates to Federal Avaiation Administration ADS-B(Out) mandate. Tactical Communications - Changed title of IW SATCOM S/W Development Phase 2 to SATCOM S/W Development (with MUOS). SATCOM S/W Development (with MUOS) start shifted from 2Q/16 to 2Q/15. Crypto Engine Design start shifted from 1Q/17 to 1Q/16. Ground Proximity Warning Systems/Terrain Awareness Warning System - Changed title of H-60 TAWS II DT to H-60 TAWS II DT (Phase I and II). Milestone C for H-60 TAWS II shifted from 3Q/17 to 1Q/18. Mid Air Collision Avoidance Capability - FY14 Congressional Reduction and subsequent efforts to realign with platform program efforts resulted in the following schedule changes: Added Integrated Logistics Assessment in 1Q/18, Analysis of Alternative (AOA) shifted from 1Q/15 to 3Q/15. Capabilities Development Document (CDD) shifted from 1Q/16 to 3Q/16. MDD/ASR shifted from 2Q/15 to 4Q/15. Milestone B from 2Q/16 to 2Q/18, Milestone C from 1Q/19 to outside the FYDP, SRB from 2Q/15 to 4Q/16, SRR from 2Q/15 to 4Q/16, PDR from 3Q/15 to 4Q/17, CDR from 2Q/16 to 2Q/19, Software Design and Development 3Q/15 to 1Q/18, Platform Integration Test Support shifted from 3Q/15 to 1Q/19. Integration of MH-60R/S from 1Q/16 to 1Q/20, Integration of UH-1Y/AH-1Z from 3Q/16 to 4Q/20, Test and Evaluation of MH-60R/S from 1Q/17 to outside the FYDP, and Test and Evaluation of UH-1Y/AH-1Z from 1Q/18 to outside the FYDP. Removed Integration of F/A-18 and Test and Evaluation of F/A-18. 2311: Stores Planning and Weaponeering Module schedule presentation has been changed to align more closely with acquisition reporting at a higher level of detail. Test and Evaluation Milestones and Production Milestones have been adjusted to align Initial Operational Capability dates with platform software releases.
