Common Avionics

Abstract

This project provides for the identification, study, design, development, demonstration, test, evaluation, and qualification of standard avionics capabilities for Navy use, and wherever practicable, use across all Services and Foreign Military Sales. Such air combat electronics developments include communications and airborne networking, navigation and sensors, flight avionics, safety systems, and flight mission information systems for both forward fit and retrofit aircraft. These efforts continue to maintain federated systems while encouraging transition of procurements to support a modular system for enhanced performance and affordability. Consideration is given up front to reduce acquisition costs through larger procurement quantities that satisfy multi-aircraft customer requirements and that reduce life cycle costs in the areas of reliability, maintainability, and training. JUSTIFICATION FOR BUDGET ACTIVITY: 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 requirements prior to full-rate production decision.

• Change Summary Explanation: The FY 2021 funding request net increase is for misc. rate adjustments and the reprogramming of Digital Interoperability (DI)/Marine Air Ground Task Force (MAGTF) Agile Network Gateway Link (MANGL) from PMA275, V-22. Technical: Digital Interoperability (DI)/Marine Air Ground Task Force (MAGTF) Agile Network Gateway Link (MANGL) reprogrammed from PMA275, PE 0604262N/PU 1425 and PE 0206121M/BLI 0590 FY21 - FY24 to support the integration and central management of DI, resulting in zero sum realignment with no new start. Schedule: Tactical Communications (TACCOM): Extended SATCOM S/W Development (with Mobile User Objective System (MUOS)) from 4Q/19 to 2Q/20 due to SPAWAR/JTIC qualification lab availability. Adjusted Military (MIL) Standard Evolution for Variable Message Format (VMF) from 1Q/20 to 1Q/21, due to delays in the finalization of the specifications needed to complete the VMF. Ground Proximity Warning System/Terrain Awareness System (GPWS/TAWS II): Changes incorporated to align with platforms' schedule. Changes in the PMA-299 MH-60R/S TAWS II schedule is due to realignment to meet the SCS-2X software schedule; planned for Fleet release in 2023 vice 2024. PMA-275 V-22 schedule was adjusted to account for reprioritization of software manpower to higher priority efforts such as RNP/RNAV, LNAV, and JPALS. FY20: Realigned H-60 TAWS II Software Development FB3 from 4Q/20 to 3Q/20 FY21: Added V-22 TAWS II Requirements Dev to 4Q/21; Added Lockheed Martin SC 2.X Integration Testing FB3 to 4Q/21 FY22: Realigned H-60 TAWS II Software Development FB4 from 1Q/23 to 1Q/22; Realigned V-22 TAWS II Software Development FB1 from 3Q/21 to 1Q/22; Added H-60 TAWS II DT 3 to 1Q/22; Removed V-22 Integrated Logistic Assessment (ILA) from 2Q/22 FY23: Changed MS C aircraft platform from V-22 to H-60 and moved MS from 2Q/23 to 3Q/23; Realigned H-60 Fleet Release from 4Q/24 to 4Q/23; Added H-60 TAWS II DT 4 to 2Q/23; Added Boeing/Raytheon Integration Testing FB1 to 4Q/23; Removed V-22 Fleet Release from 4Q/23; Added Lockheed Martin SC 2.X Integration Testing FB4 to 1Q/23; Added V-22 Integration Contract to 1Q/23 FY24: Added V-22 TAWS II Software Development FB2 to 3Q/24; Realigned V-22 TAWS II DT 1 from 2Q/21 to 1Q/24 FY25: Realigned TAWS II Follow on Dev Platforms from 1Q/24 to 1Q/25; Added Boeing/Raytheon Integration Testing FB2 to 3Q/25; Added V-22 TAWS II DT 2 to 3Q/25 Digital Interoperability (DI)/Marine Air Ground Task Force (MAGTF) Agile Networking Gateway Link (MANGL): Schedule inserted to reflect reprogrammed funding from PMA275, V-22.
