V-22A
Abstract
The V-22 Osprey is an Acquisition Category IC 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 utility/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 is replacing the CH-46E and CH53A/D in the Marine Corps with the MV-22; will supplement the H-60 in the Navy with the MV-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 is capable of flying over 2,100 nautical miles, with a single refueling, giving the services the advantage of a Vertical/Short Take-off and Landing aircraft that can rapidly self-deploy to any location in the world. This program is funded under Engineering Manufacturing and Development 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 as well as Block C suitability and effectiveness development upgrades. Capability Development Document interoperability requirements were addressed through a spiral upgrade acquisition strategy. It was the first spiral providing Key Enabling Department of Defense mandated open systems architecture 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, ARC 210 Generation 5 Radio, Mission Computer Obsolescence Initiative, Ramp Mounted Weapon System, AAR-47 Hostile Fire Indicator, Time on Wing, Digital Interoperability, and Blue Force Tracker/Netted Weather. FY13 funds continued instrumentation of a test aircraft. FY14-FY15 will provide for additional Aircraft Mission Maneuvering Envelope Expansion, Velocity Not to Exceed Expansion, Digital Interoperability, and Time on Wing efforts such as Improved Inlet Solution. FY14-FY15 will also continue development efforts for the V-22 Integrated Aircraft Survivability Equipment (IASE) to include correcting deficiencies of the current Radar warning system, integration with an upgraded missile warning and active infrared countermeasure system, and providing integrated threat warning information on the aircraft main flight displays. Begin MV-22 Digital Interoperability efforts in FY15.
