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 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. Note: The first two CMV production aircraft are test aircraft. They will be delivered to Patuxent River to support Development Testing. Operational Testing (OT) will be conducted as part of a carrier air wing work-up prior to deployment. OT will focus on assessing the effectiveness and suitability of the CMV-22 as the COD platform in the carrier strike group. There is no Milestone C, because CMV-22 is being executed as an Engineering Change Proposal to V-22 Block C. Initial Operational Capability for CMV-22 is FY21.

Change Summary Explanation
FY 2021 net $0.435M decrease from President's Budget is for the addition of $14.0M for Flight Control Computer redesign, addition of $0.8M for CBM+, addition of $0.282M for Navy Working Capital Fund pricing adjustments, a reduction of $9.312M that transferred to PE 0605217N for the Digital Interoperability effort, a reduction of $6.205M for miscellaneous rate / balancing adjustments. Schedule: Project Unit 1425: 1. Hardware Development Schedule - Flight Control System (FCS) Re-design is now being shown in Project Unit 3090. Improved Inlet Solution Engine Air Particle Separator 2.0 has been added to the schedule and OT events moved a year as no software changes required an OT test in FY19. 2. Digital Interoperability efforts are moved to PE 0605217N beginning in FY2021. 3. CMV Schedule - Test events were updated to reflect current test plan. Live Fire Event was completed in 3Q19. Operational Test updated to end 1Q21. Physical Configuration Audit updated to coincide with production aircraft delivery. Follow-on Operational Test & Evaluation added 1Q23 through 4Q23. Production quantities and deliveries have been updated to reflect current schedule. 4. Electrical System Re-design - Schedule reflects refinement of Non-Recurring Engineering events based on improved understanding of Constant Frequency Generator / Generator Control Unit Re-design complexity. Bell Boeing Integration Support added 1Q19. Bell Boeing will complete lab testing and UTAS will complete Flight Testing. Schedule updated to reflect detail provided in Congressional RFI submitted on 15 April 2019. 5. Infrared Suppressor Schedule (IRS) - Schedule updated to reflect the source selection and award of the improvements contract as the optimum solution for the V-22 IRS and the initial phase of product improvement development. SVR added 3Q21. 6. Open System Architecture / Cyber Security - Schedule updated to reflect current program schedule. Joint Avionics Reconfigurable Virtual Information System (JARVIS) development is the current Open System Architecture effort being developed. 7. DVE / HMD Schedule - Schedule updated to reflect delay in receiving the interface information for the Enhanced Visual Acuity system. Preliminary Design Review added 2Q23. Schedule 1. Project Unit 3090: FCS Re-design.New schedule added 2. Project Unit C475: New schedule added for Common Lightweight Cargo System (COOLS) 3. Project unit C556: New schedule added for Active Vibration Control System Technical: 1. PU 3090 created under PE 0604262N for V-22 Product Improvement efforts. 2. PU C475 created under PE 0604262N for V-22 COOLS. 3. PU C556 created under PE 0604262N for V-22 Active Vibration Control System.
