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/Realigned $16.7M (which includes a $7.431M BTR) in FY14 to the Advanced Arresting Gear (AAG) accomplishment to properly price the System Development and Demonstration (SDD) effort. Added funding in FY14 to the Aviation Data Management and Control System (ADMACS) Block effort to properly price the completion of the program in FY14. Schedule: Advanced Arresting Gear (AAG): Updated RALS Test and Shipboard Test. Test Readiness Review (TRR): A TRR2 event was held in 1Q FY13 but had technical challenges driven by subcomponent design issues which were identified during integrated system test. Component redesign required retesting and subsequently the TRR2 event was rescheduled to 4Q FY14. Environmental Qualification Test (EQT): As part of the program rebaseline, the EQT testing was reviewed and some tests were eliminated. Additionally shock testing was deferred to integrated test and evaluation following the System Development and Demonstration (SDD) phase. Operational Evaluation(OPEVAL): AAG Ship Test OPEVAL is driven by the construction and testing schedule of CVN 78. Aviation Data Management and Control System (ADMACS): Schedules delays due to issues with Cybersecurity compliance. Cybersecurity requirements, CVN availability schedules, and obsolescence mitigation necessitated a shift in events in order to bring three variations of ADMACS configuration into a single supportable Fleet configuration, as per MDA direction in the rebaseline plan. Aircraft Launch and Recovery Equipment (ALRE) Modernization and Service Life Management Program (SLMP) events delayed one year due to funding higher priority issues within the ALRE program office. Technical: Not Applicable.
