Air Crew Systems Development

Abstract

The Aircrew Systems Development program provides Engineering and Manufacturing Development (EMD) of Aviation Life Support Systems to protect aircrews from current and future threats including: directed energy weapons, chemical/biological/radiological agents/fallout, ballistic projectiles, temperature extremes, heat/fire, low concentration oxygen environments, high dynamic forces during emergency egress, and high "G" forces. The program also provides development for the following capabilities: night vision capability, head protection, communications, clothing, in flight restraint and stability emergency egress and descent, escape and evasion, survival and rescue, crash protection, and anthropometric sizing for small aircrew. Acquisition initiatives include: competition, the application of streamlining initiatives, use of non-developmental items (NDI), joint and tri-service developments, and the pursuit of NATO/allied cooperative ventures, which expedite introduction of new products into Navy and Marine Corps fixed and rotary wing aircraft, reduce costs, and promote commonality. FY11-FY15 Wide Field of View (WFOV) - Night Vision program realigns from Other Procurement Navy (OPN) to Research Development Test & Evaluation (RDT&E) due to the program being placed back into Science & Technology (S&T) development. Procurement will not begin until FY18. This resulted in a reduction of $2.686M in FY11 which was transferred to the lab for additional S& T efforts, and increases in FY12-15 taken from the WFOV Other Procurement Navy (OPN) line.

Change Summary Explanation
Schedule: 1. Acquisition Milestones: A. CMARS Milestone B changed from 3Q09 to 4Q09. Aligned to coincide with current acquisition strategy. B. CMARS PDR changed from 1Q10 to 3Q10. Aligned to coincide with current acquisition strategy. C. CMARS CDR changed from 1Q10 to 4Q10. Aligned to coincide with current acquisition strategy. 2. Test and Evaluation: A. JHMCS NVCD-DT/OT changed from 1Q07-2Q11 to 1Q07-1Q11. Aligned JHMCS NVCD with JHMCS JPO Program. B. LEP-DT changed from 3Q09-1Q10 to 3Q10-2Q11. Delay in Acquisition Decision for contract award. C. FDC-DT changed from 4Q08-4Q09 to 4Q08-3Q10. Realigned component & system level test requirements. D. CMARS-DT/OT changed from 3Q10-4Q10 to 4Q10-1Q11. Delay in RDT&E contract award. E. AE-DT changed from 3Q08-3Q10 to 1Q09-1Q11. Realigned component & system level test requirements. 3. Production Milestones: A. CMARS-DEL changed from 3Q09-4Q15 to 1Q11-4Q15. Realigned with multiple platforms mod schedule. Technical: N/A FY11 from previous President's Budget is shown as zero because no FY11-15 data was presented in President's Budget 2010.
