Advanced Arresting Gear (AAG)

Abstract

The Advanced Arresting Gear (AAG) program designs, develops, tests and fields an aircraft arrestment system to replace the legacy Mark 7 arresting gear. AAG systems will be installed on all new construction aircraft carriers. AAG will provide the U.S. Navy with improved operational capability, while reducing operating and support costs. The AAG system will recover all existing and projected carrier based tail hook-equipped air vehicles well into the 21st century. 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: Technical: N/A Cost: The decrease in FY2020 - FY2021 is due to the transition from System Design and Development (SDD) to Integrated Test and Evaluation to support correction of deficiencies and continue reliability improvements on the Advanced Arresting Gear (AAG) system. Schedule: Updates include the following: - CVN78 Events were updated to reflect the most current Post Delivery Test & Trials (PDT&T) ship schedule. - Maintenance Demo was removed from the schedule. The sailors will be exercising the system operationally onboard CVN78 and repairing the system using the IETMs during PDT&T in FY20. AAG Milestones - IOC was added to 4Q FY 2022 Software Development: - J2 Regression test was removed - Added Software Release L in 4Q FY2021 - Added Software Release M in 4Q FY2022 JCTS (Deadload Recoveries) - Added L Regression Test in 1Q FY2022 - Added M Regression Test in 1Q FY2023 - Added Water Twister Mod II in 4Q FY2020 - Added SV3/Half Bridge changes in 4Q FY2020 - Added Site Maintenance windows in 1Q FY 2024, 1Q FY 2025 - Added Correction of Deficiency Test to start in 2Q FY2021 and ends in 4Q FY2021 RALS (Aircraft Recoveries) - Added E-2C/E-2D/C-2A Regression Testing to start in 1Q FY2019 and ends in 2Q FY2019 and the Aircraft Recovery Bulletin (ARB) in 4Q FY2019 - F/A-18 E/F/G Aircraft Recovery Bulletin (ARB) moved from 2Q FY2019 to 4Q FY2019 - Hi-Cycle Test Moved from 3Q FY 2019 to 1Q FY 2020 - Removed Maintenance Demo - Added availability window for COD tests in FY2020 through FY2021 - Added Site Maintenance windows in 1Q FY 2023, 1Q FY 2024, 1Q FY 2025 - Added Water Twister Mod II test in 2Q FY2022 Software Support Activity (SSA) Standup - Updated the SSA schedule to include SSA HW & Licenses from 1Q FY2019 thru 4Q FY2020 with a SSA Delivery starting in 1Q FY2021; SSA SSL Install/Setup starting in 2Q FY 2021; SSA Lab Transfer (now SSL#2 Lab Transfer) starting in 3Q FY2021 and completing in 4Q FY 2021; Lab Certification in 1Q FY 2022 completing in 2Q FY 2022 with SSA standup complete in 4Q FY 2022
