Air Crew Systems Development
Abstract
The Aircrew Systems Development program provides Engineering and Manufacturing Development of Aviation Life Support Systems to protect aircrew and flight deck personnel 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, hearing loss, and high "G" forces. The program also provides development for the following capabilities: night vision capability, hearing and head protection, aircrew endurance, aircrew performance, man mounted data display, 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, 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. The Physiological Episodes program provides for the development and fielding of a system that monitors aircrew physiological parameters and warns of state of health or performance degradation that may result in loss of consciousness or ability to safely conduct the flight and for other physiological episode mitigation efforts. There are several efforts currently in development. JUSTIFICATION FOR BUDGET ACTIVITY: This program is funded under SYSTEM DEVELOPMENT AND DEMONSTRATION because it includes projects that have passed Milestone B approval and are conducting engineering and manufacturing development tasks aimed at meeting validated requirements prior to full-rate production decision.

- Change Summary Explanation
- Funding: Decrease since the previous President's Budget submission is due to changes in support and working capital fund rates. Schedule: 1. The following major changes were made to the Laser Eye Protection (LEP) schedule based on programmatic updates and execution requirements: -LEP Operations & Support Phase moved from Q4FY22 through Q1FY25 to Q4FY22 through Q4FY25 -LEP TRR moved from Q4FY20 to Q2FY21 -LEP Test & Evaluation: DT moved from Q1FY21 through Q2FY21 to Q3FY21 -LEP EMD (Qty 91) Delivery moved from Q3FY20 through Q4FY20 to Q1FY21 2. The following major changes were made to the Enhanced Visual Acuity (EVA) schedule. The delays occurred because the Engineering and Manufacturing Development (EMD) contract was in a stop-work status for seven months due to a GAO protest (denied Jan '20) and a subsequent Court of Federal Claims protest (denied Apr '20). Additional schedule updates were made following government/vendor IBR: -EVA EMD Phase moved from Q3FY19 through Q1FY23 to Q3FY20 through Q4FY23 -EVA PDR moved from Q4FY20 to Q1FY22 -EVA SRR II moved from Q2FY20 to Q4FY20 -EVA CDR moved from Q2FY21 to Q3FY22 -EVA TRR moved from Q2FY22 to Q3FY23 -EVA Developmental Testing moved from Q2FY21 through Q1FY22 to Q3FY22 through Q4FY22 -EVA IT-B2 moved from Q3FY22 through Q1FY23 to Q3FY23 through Q4FY23 -EVA EDM (Qty 8) Delivery moved from Q2FY21 through Q1FY23 to Q1FY23 3. The following major changes were made to the Physiological Monitoring (PM) schedule based on technical discovery and maturation of requirements: -PM IOC moved from 4QFY21 to 4QFY22 -PM Milestone C moved from Q3FY20 to Q3FY21 -PM Integration Contract Award moved from 3QFY21 to 3QFY22 -PM Production Contract Award moved from 3QFY22 to 3QFY23 -PM LRIP 1 Delivery moved from 2QFY22 through 4QFY22 to 4QFY23 through 2QFY24 Technical: Not Applicable
