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. The total cost of the Digital Interoperability (DI)/Marine Air Ground Task Force (MAGTF) Agile Networking Gateway Link (MANGL) (DI/MANGL) Middle Tier of Acquisition effort is $139.9 million, including RDT&E and procurement of prototype units. The DI/MANGL is fully funded across the Future Years Defense Program.

Change Summary Explanation
Schedule: Ground Proximity Warning System/Terrain Awareness System (GPWS/TAWS II): Changes incorporated to shift follow on platform integration from V-22 to H-1 platform for TAWS II 2nd Increment to align with platform schedules. FY22: V-22 TAWS II Software Development FB1 1Q/22 to 4Q/22 updated to H-1 TAWS II Requirements Development 2Q/22 to 1Q/23; H-1 TAWS II Software Development FB1 4Q/22 to 3Q/23. Digital Interoperability (DI)/Marine Air Ground Task Force (MAGTF) Agile Networking Gateway Link (MANGL): Changes are due to HQMC technical correction from APN-5 to RDT&E (zero-sum) and HQMC program wholeness issue to support Software Reconfigurable Payload (SRP) redesign and development for changes in Tactical Targeting Network Technology (TTNT) Dual Power Amplifier (DPA) and Link 16 waveform integration due to new Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Link 16 certification requirements and fielding. FY22: Change Qual Testing start date from 2Q/22 to 1Q/23. Change Cyber Security Tabletop from 3Q/22 to 3Q/23. Change Flt Demo Test/Report start date from 3Q/22 to 1Q/24. Test Articles Delivery Qty 4 from 2Q/22 to 4Q/23. --- FY 2023 funding increase reflects the fact that the FY 2022 President’s Budget request did not include out-year funding.
