Shipboard Aviation Systems

Abstract

CV Launch & Recovery System - This Navy unique project addresses the System Development and Demonstration (SDD) of all systems required to recover and launch Navy/Marine Corps Aircraft (Fixed/Rotary Wing and Vertical/Short Take Off and Landing (VSTOL)) operating aboard aircraft carriers (CVN), amphibious assault ships (LHA/LHD) and air capable ships. This program element includes the following: (1) Advanced Arresting Gear (AAG) (2) Aviation Data Management and Control System (ADMACS) (3) Electromagnetic Aircraft Launch System (EMALS) (4) Advanced Launch Control System (ALCS) (5) Compact Swaging Machine (CSM) (6) Aircraft Launch & Recovery Equipment (ALRE) Modernization (7) Aircraft Launch and Recovery Equipment (ALRE) Service Life Management program (SLMP) (8) Advanced Prognostics for Steam Catapults (APSC)

Change Summary Explanation
Schedule: 2232: Advanced Arresting Gear (AAG): The AAG System Design and Development (SDD) integrated testing program at the Jet Car Track Site (JCTS) experienced hardware installation, integration and commissioning issues, resulting in the delay of the start of Deadload testing; the completion of JCTS and RALS; and Milestone C slipped to 2nd QTR FY2013. Deadload testing at JCTS is now scheduled to commence 2nd QTR FY2011. Compact Swaging Machine (CSM) - Due to the addition of a shipboard test to reduce risk and to meet fleet priorities, the Performance and EMI Shock Test scheduled to begin in 2Q FY2010 moved to 1Q FY2011. Advance Launch Control System (ALCS) - Due to the change in program acquisition strategy (contractor vs government design), the hardware, software and algorithm initiatives that were scheduled to begin in 1Q FY2011 were moved into 3Q FY2014. The development and analysis; trade studies; algorithm analysis, and development of acquisition documentation will start in FY2011. Improved Fresnel Lens Optical Landing System (IFLOLS) - Due to the addition of an IFLOLS shipboard test as a risk mitigation effort, the integrated test period has been extended into 4Q FY2014. Technical: Not Applicable.
