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 Carrier Onboard Delivery (COD) needs of the Navy, and the special operations needs of the Air Force and the United States Special Operations Command (USSOCOM). The MV-22 variant is replacing the CH-46E in the Marine Corps and the CMV-22 will replace the C-2A in the Navy. The CV-22 variant replaced the MH-53J and MH-53M and augments the C-130 in the Air Force and USSOCOM. 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 (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 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. Future development efforts will include Pre-Planned-Product-Improvements in the Capability Development Document and Re-design efforts to correct critical Reliability, Maintainability and Availability issues in support of readiness Operational Safety Improvement Program as prioritized by the United States Marine Corps or an Urgent Universal Needs Statement. Development efforts include Mission System Upgrades, Electrical System Upgrades, Engine Air Particle Separator (EAPS), Mid-Wing Process Unit, ARC 210 Series Radio, Mission Computer Obsolescence Initiative, Weapon Systems Development, Time on Wing, Digital Interoperability (DI), Technology Insertion efforts such as: Infrared Suppressor (IRS), Modular Avionics Mission Computer Re-design / CyberSecurity, Center Console Re-design, Flight Control System Re-design, Degraded Visual Environment (DVE), Helmet Mounted Display and Multi-Spectral Sensor, Aircraft Mission Maneuvering Envelope Expansion and testing of Additive Manufacturing processes for selected MV-22 components. The V-22 Hardware Development Airframe continues to fund development efforts in support of V-22 Block upgrades, Time on Wing and Safety Improvement efforts such as Cockpit Engine Health Indicator and gearbox vibration monitoring. Continue engineering, logistics, flight test, flight test support and address the correction of deficiencies and obsolescence. Continue V-22 software development/mission computer obsolescence initiatives such as transition tech demo and modular avionics mission computer redesign. Continue V-22 Integrated Aircraft Survivability Equipment to include correcting deficiencies; radar warning system, integration with an upgraded missile warning and active infrared countermeasure system, rotor blade tabs, nacelle sails, Miniature Airborne Global Positioning System Receiver, Defensive Weapons capabilities and providing integrated threat warning information on the aircraft's main flight displays. Continue correcting deficiencies of the current EAPS and development of particle separation solutions. Continue Nacelle redesign efforts that will improve maintainability and reliability, as well as wiring redesign. V-22 Hardware Development Propulsion will continue to fund the flight/engine hours that are necessary for the design, development, validation and verification of the V-22 propulsion and power systems at the Patuxent River squadron. Rolls-Royce will continue to provide engine support and development of V-22 flight testing. JUSTIFICATION FOR BUDGET ACTIVITY: This program is funded under OPERATIONAL SYSTEMS DEVELOPMENT because it includes development efforts to upgrade systems that have been fielded or have received approval for full rate production and anticipate funding in the current or subsequent fiscal year. Note: 1st 2 CMV production aircraft are test aircraft. They will be delivered to Patuxent River to support Development Testing (DT). OT will be conducted as part of a carrier air wing work-up prior to deployment. Operational Testing (OT) will focus on assessing the effectiveness and suitability of the CMV-22 as the Carrier Onboard Delivery platform in the carrier strike group. There is no Milestone C, because CMV-22 is being executed as an ECP to V-22 Block C. Initial Operational Capability for CMV-22 is FY-21.

- Change Summary Explanation
- FY 2020 increase for CMV hardware development and testing. Schedule: 1. Hardware Development Schedule - As a result of reprioritization of development efforts Improved Inlet Solution development and flight test were deleted in FY18. Defense Weapon System Re-design, Flight Control System Re-design and Software Data Set Release have been added to the schedule as new requirements. 2. CMV Schedule - FY16 Risk Reduction requirements were reviewed and incorporated in design which delayed Critical Design (CDR) Review and should have been included on the FY19 Presidents Budget. Physical Configuration Audit updated to reflect first aircraft delivery. Initial Operational Capability added 4Q21 and Live Fire Event added 3Q20 as they were missing from the schedule. Production quantities and deliveries have been updated to reflect increased quantities. The FY22 Developmental Testing reflects new capabilities being developed. OT testing will begin in FY25 and out. 3. DI Schedule - Schedule updated to reflect additional detail as provided in the Congressional RFI. 4. VARS Schedule - Flight Test deleted as it is part of DT/OT. DT/OT slid to the right due to design updates. 5. Electrical System Redesign - Schedule updated to reflect additional detail as provided in the Congressional RFI. 6. IRS Schedule - Schedule updated to reflect additional detail as provided in the Congressional RFI. 7. Technology Insertion Schedule - Contract Award and System Requirements Review added as they were missing on the schedule. Beginning in FY20, efforts are included in the Open System Architecture / Cyber Security line. 8. Multi-Spectral Schedule - Contract Award, CDR and Flight Testing have moved one year to the right as requirements were further refined. 9. Swashplate Actuator schedule deleted as program is no longer funded. 10. Beginning in FY20 Open System Architecture/Cyber Security was established in order to correctly capture all of the Open System Architecture/Cyber Security efforts under one project.
