V-22A

Abstract

The V-22 Osprey is an ACAT-ID Joint Program led by the Department of the Navy for the purpose of developing, testing, evaluating, procuring and fielding a tilt rotor, vertical takeoff and landing aircraft for Joint Service application. The V-22 program is designed to provide an aircraft to meet the amphibious/vertical assault needs of the Marine Corps, the strike rescue needs of the Navy, and the special operations needs of the Air Force and the United States Special Operations Command (USSOCOM). The V-22 will replace the CH-46E and CH53A/D in the Marine Corps with the MV-22; supplement the H-60 in the Navy with the HV-22; and replace the MH-53J and MH-53M as well as augment the C-130 in the Air Force and USSOCOM with the CV-22. The V-22 will be capable of flying over 2100 nautical miles with a single refueling, giving the services the advantage of a Vertical/Short Take-off, and Landing (VSTOL) aircraft that can rapidly self-deploy to any location in the world. This program is funded under Engineering Manufacturing and Development (EMD) for correction of deficiencies and includes Block A and Block B upgrades which encompassed engineering and manufacturing development of new end-items prior to the production incorporation decision. Block C suitability and effectiveness development upgrades began in FY06 and continue through FY12. Overseas Contingency Operations (OCO) funding provided in FY10 is for the development of the Main Landing Gear Bay Fire Suppression system. Funding presented in FY11 addresses Capability Development Document (CDD) interoperability requirements through a spiral upgrade acquisition strategy. These funds are the first spiral that provides Key Enabling DoD mandated open systems architecture (MOSA) upgrades for the mission computer hardware and software while simultaneously addressing required interoperability common avionics upgrades and current avionics obsolescence issues. Development efforts include Block C Upgrade, Mission System Upgrade, Mid-Wing Process Unit, and ARC 210 Generation 5 Radio. Basis for FY2010 OEF Supplemental Budget Request: $1,645K is requested due to increased fuel costs. This program element includes $.331M for the Defense Acquisition Workforce Development Fund (DAWDF) in FY09.

Change Summary Explanation
Technical: Not applicable. Schedule: The R-4 reflects updates made to the Integrated Master Schedule as a result of adjustments to contract award dates for the Block C development efforts. Technical evaluations and flight test periods for this effort were also annotated. The following events have been included: V22 In-Process Program Review (IPR) scheduled for 4Q FY09, Block C Increment III Critical Design Review (CDR) occurred 3Q FY09. Operational Test (OT) IIIE occurred 3Q FY09. Block C Increments I and II Functional Configuration Audit (FCA) scheduled for 1Q FY11. Block C Increments I and II Physical Configuration Audit (PCA) scheduled for 2Q FY11. Block C Increment III Functional Configuration Audit (FCA) scheduled for 3Q FY11, Block C Increment III Physical Configuration Audit (PCA) scheduled for 2Q FY12. Block C and Block 20 Increments I, II, and III Developmental Flight Test and Block C and Block 20 Integrated Test (IT) IT-IIID beginning 1Q FY10 thru 4Q FY15. OT-IIIG scheduled for 3Q FY11. OT-IIIH scheduled for 2Q FY12. FY11 from previous President's Budget is shown as zero because no FY11-15 data was presented in President's Budget 2010.
