Shipboard Aviation Systems

Abstract

CV Launch & Recovery System - This Navy unique project addresses the System Development and Demonstration of all systems required to recover and launch Navy/Marine Corps Aircraft (Fixed/Rotary Wing and Vertical/Short Take Off and Landing) operating aboard aircraft carriers, amphibious assault ships and air capable ships. This program element includes the following: (1) Advanced Arresting Gear (2) Aviation Data Management and Control System (3) Compact Swaging Machine (4) Aircraft Launch & Recovery Equipment Modernization (5) Aircraft Launch and Recovery Equipment Service Life Management program 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
Cost: Added funding in FY 13, FY15, FY16 and FY17 to the Advanced Arresting Gear effort to properly price the System Development and Demonstration effort. Schedule: Advanced Arresting Gear (AAG) - The AAG program experienced technical challenges due to subcomponent design issues which were identified during integrated system testing. These subcomponents required redesign and retest. Additionally, system performance issues were identified during the Jet Car Track Site (JCTS) Performance Test Readiness Review and these issues are hampering performance test progress. Execution of the test program and completion of the System Design and Development phase have been delayed. Accordingly, the program was rebaselined driving out planned events and moving milestone C to 3rd quarter FY18. Aircraft Launch & Recovery Equipment Modernization Improved Manually Operated Visual Landing Aid System - Due to higher program and Navy priorities, the program's scheduled events, including production representative model procurement and milestones have slipped one year. Aircraft Launch and Recovery Equipment Service Life Management program (SLMP) - Due to higher program and Navy priorities, SLMP scheduled events have been extended into 4th Quarter of FY19. Aviation Data Management and Control System (ADMACS) - ADMACS scheduled events were adjusted due to the ADMACS Blk II program undergoing a Milestone Decision Authority directed rebaseline due to software deficiencies found during final Developmental Testing shipboard testing and the resultant need to defer Initial Operational Test and Evaluation. Technical: Not Applicable.
