Change Summary Explanation
Schedule: Aviation Data Management and Control System Blk 3 - Test dates realigned to coordinate with availability of test assets for Electromagnetic Aircraft Launch System (EMALS) and Advanced Arresting Gear. EMALS - The Sensorless Control for Linear Motors contract awarded in Sept. 2010. Based on this award date, the program's plan of action and milestone's (POA&M) were adjusted accordingly. Advanced Launch Control System - Program cancelled in order to fund higher priority programs within the program element. Compact Swaging Machine - Delay in test article completion resulted in performance testing starting in 2nd Qtr FY11. The test article will be delivered in 4th Qtr 2011, with electromagnetic interference and shock vibration testing being conducted in FY12. Shipboard testing and evaluation to commence in 3rd Qtr 2013. Aircraft Launch & Recovery Equipment Modernization Improved Fresnel Lens Optical Landing System - Due to enhanced Preliminary Design Review (PDR) requirements, the Critical Design Review (CDR) and Test Readiness Review moved from 2nd and 3rd Qtrs of FY11 to 4th Qtr FY11 and 1st Qtr of FY12. Subsequently, the integrated test period was adjusted accordingly. Aircraft Launch & Recovery Equipment Modernization Improved Manually Operated Visual Landing Aid System - Based on enhanced PDR and CDR requirements, the program's plan of action and milestones (POA&M) were adjusted accordingly. Technical: Not Applicable. Cost: Added funding in FY 13 to the AAG effort to properly price the program. Cost increases are due to schedule delays reported in PB12. Added funding ($9.9M) in FY 11 to properly price program (not included in above controls).
