Multi-mssn Maritime Aircraft (MMA) (P-8A)
Abstract
The P-8A Multi-mission Maritime Aircraft will replace the aging P-3 aircraft. The P-8A program was initiated in response to the Joint Requirements Oversight Council (JROC) validated Mission Needs Statement, "Broad Area Maritime and Littoral Armed Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance" and the requirements for the program are defined in the P-8A Capability Production Document #791-88-09, validated and approved on 22 June 2009. A successful Critical Design Review was completed in June 2007. In August 2007 the Design Readiness Review was conducted and resulted in approval to obligate funding for the fabrication of the Stage II flight test aircraft. The Interim Program Review (IPR) was completed on 7 April 2009 based on release of Acquisition Decision Memorandum. The first flight of P-8A occurred on 25 Apr 2009. Milestone (MS) C was successfully completed on 11 August 2010. The primary objectives of Systems Development and Demonstration (SDD) are to: perform the system detailed design, develop and produce Systems Integration Labs, develop and build ground and flight test articles, conduct ground and flight tests and prepare for milestones. Ground testing includes the conduct of static testing, fatigue testing and Live Fire Test and Evaluation. Six flight test aircraft have been built during SDD. These test aircraft are grouped into two stages based on which phase of the test program the aircraft will support. SDD Stage I flight test aircraft (FY06/Qty-3) support Integrated Test and Evaluation (IT&E). SDD Stage II flight test aircraft (FY09/Qty-3) support the completion of IT&E and Initial Operational Test and Evaluation (IOT&E) after being updated to the production configuration. The SDD contract includes the development and initial builds of training devices to support IOT&E. The scope of SDD includes activities necessary to facilitate an efficient transition of the fleet to achieve the P-8A Initial Operational Capability (IOC) of Increment 1 in CY13. The scope of SDD also includes the engineering and verification of correction of deficiencies identified in testing. P-8A entered Production and Deployment development phase in the 4th quarter of FY10 after completing MS-C Defense Acquisition Board. P-8A program is based on an evolutionary acquisition strategy consisting of sequential incremental enhancements to system capabilities that will retain cost-wise effectiveness for winning major combat operations beyond 2020. In order to pace the threat, Increment 2, the Next Phase of Capabilities, will incorporate the following capabilities into the P-8A: Multi-Static Active Coherent (MAC), Automatic Identification System, Rapid Capabilities Insertion (RCI), updates to the Tactical Operations Center (TOC), as well as additional Anti-Submarine Warfare (ASW), Anti-Surface Warfare (ASuW) and Intelligence Surveillance and Reconnaissance capabilities as Engineering Change Proposals (ECPs). The scope of this effort includes the integration, design, and test of the capability enhancements to the P-8A and associated Tactical Operations Center ground support facilities and initial trainers. Integration of these capabilities will be accomplished incrementally, based on the scope of the integration effort. As part of the P-8A evolutionary acquisition strategy, Increment 3 will incorporate the capabilities defined in the Capabilitiy Development Document approved by JROC on 25 June 2010. In order to pace the threat, the Increment 3 will incorporate the following capabilities into the P-8A: MAC, RCI, updates to the TOC, as well as additional ASW, ASuW and Intelligence Surveillance and Reconnaissance capabilities. These capabilities and other emergent capability requirements will be investigated during the Technology Development phase of Increment 3 for the P-8A and Tactical Operations Center (ground support facility). Budget Activity 5. 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 requirement prior to full-rate production decision.
