Air Control

Abstract

This program element provides for the development, integration, and testing of Automated Air Traffic Control (ATC) hardware and software required to provide improved flight safety and more reliable all-weather ATC and landing system capabilities at Naval Air Stations (NASs) and Marine Corps Air Stations (MCASs) and Fleet Area Control and Surveillance Facilities (FACSFAC) worldwide. Funded programs are required to upgrade or replace aging ATC and landing system equipment on aircraft, aircraft carriers, amphibious ships, NASs, MCASs and Navy/Marine Corps tactical/expeditionary airfields and remote landing sites. JUSTIFICATION FOR BUDGET ACTIVITY: This program is funded under SYSTEM DEVELOPMENT AND DEMONSTRATION because it includes those projects that have passed Milestone B approval and are conducting engineering and manufacturing development tasks aimed at meeting validated requirement prior to full-rate production decision.

Change Summary Explanation
Schedule: Project 0718 - has been updated to reflect additional requirements for Ground/Air Task Oriented Radar System. Project 0993 - has been updated due to technical delays noted below under "technical". Project 3372 - (new project) schedule has been added to begin development of AN/SPN-46 and AN/SPN-35 Block Upgrade development program as part of the Department's precision approach landing capability (PALC) changes. Funding: FY13 reduction reflects sequestration and Congressional general reductions. Project 0718 - In FY15, $1.2M has been added for G/ATOR Block 4 and $2.3M has been added for Mode 5/S integration into ATNAVICS and for Expeditionary ATC Towers upgrades. Project 0993 - In FY14, funding reduced by $3.0M for Congressional reduction. The Department reduced FY15 funding by $27.5M to account for schedule delays. Project 3372 - Added funding to address the new efforts discussed under "schedule" above. Technical: Project 0993 - has experienced delays in certifying the requirements document for the AN/SPN-50(V)1 radar, thereby delaying the execution of the acquisition program.
