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.

• Change Summary Explanation: 1857: FY2023 funding request was reduced by $0.617 million to account for the availability of prior year execution balances. 0572: Tactical Communications: Title corrected from Joint Precision Approach Landing System Software (S/W) Integration to Operation Flight Plan S/W Integration. Ground Proximity Warning Systems/Terrain Awareness Warning System (GPWS/TAWS II): H-60 TAWS II Software Development extended duration from 4Q/15 through 4Q/16 based on projected platform integration schedule. Military Flight Quality Assurance: Test and Evaluation, MH-53R/S, M/CH-53E, AH-1Z, UH-1Y, Phase 2 Test extended from 3Q/15 to 4Q/15 due to longer testing required for a number of defects found. Phase 2 Test Readiness Review moved from 1Q/15 to 3Q/15 due to integration test took longer than planned due to number of defects found. Deliveries for H-60R/S, CH-53E, AH-1Z and UH-1Y reflect new date of 2Q/15 to align with F/A-18 procurement order. Mid Air Collision Avoidance Capability: Re-planned FY16-FY21 program as a result of the Business Case Analysis to properly aligned program. Material Development Decision/Acquisition Strategy Review (MDD/ASR) moved from 2Q/16 to 1Q/17. Added Capability Development Document (CDD) Draft added in 4Q16. Added Requirements Development from 1Q/16 to 4Q/16. Starting in FY17 the JT Service/NV Std Avionics CP/SB (PU 0572) PE (0604215N) moved to a new Common Avionics PE (0605217N). 2311: WASP V4.0 Systems Development start was delayed from 4Q16 to 2017 and will be displayed under PE 0605215N. WASP V3.2 IOC was delayed from 1Q16 to 3Q16 due to the asynchronous release process and requirement for a new build prior to IOC. FY17 and out schedule is included in the Mission Planning PE 0605215N. 2312: Common Helicopters schedule FY17 and out is included in Mission Planning PE 0605215N. --- FY 2023 funding increase reflects the fact that the FY 2022 President’s Budget request did not include out-year funding.
