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 first flight of P-8A occurred on 25 Apr 2009. Milestone (MS) C was successfully completed on 11 August 2010. The program completed Initial Operational Test and Evaluation (IOT&E) in March 2013 and achieved Initial Operational Capability (IOC) in November 2013. The Acquisition Decision Memorandum for the Full Rate Production review was approved on January 3, 2014. 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, and conduct ground and flight tests to sucessfully achieve program 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 building 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 and Fleet operational use. P-8A entered Production and Deployment 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, Spiral One (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 and test of these capabilities as well as integration of Advanced Airborne Sensor (AAS) capability will be accomplished incrementally, based on the scope of the integration effort. As part of the P-8A evolutionary acquisition strategy, Spiral 2 (Increment 3) will incorporate the capabilities defined in the Capability Development Document approved by JROC on 25 June 2010. In order to pace the threat, the Spiral 2 (Increment 3) will incorporate the following capabilities into the P-8A: MAC Enhancement, RCI ECP's including ECP3 (early delivery of HAAWC Datalink), 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 Pre-Engineering Manufacturing Development phase of Spiral 2 (Increment 3) for the P-8A and Tactical Operations Center (ground support facility). Acquisition Decision Memorandum, dated 18 October 2013, approved Pre-Engineering Development activities leading up to MS-B. The P-8A Multi-mission Maritime Aircraft (MMA) program is based on an evolutionary acquisition strategy including a sequence of Rapid Capability Insertions (RCI) that will retain cost-wise effectiveness for winning major combat operations beyond 2020. In order to pace the threat, RCIs will incorporate incremental software and hardware improvements to existing sensors, communications systems and weapons capabilities to build on the P-8A Spiral 2 (Increment 3) Applications Based Architecture (ABA) and capability baseline. These capabilities, and other emergent capability requirements, will be prioritized through the Navy Integration and Interoperability (I&I)-aligned Capability Prioritization Process (CPP) and P-8A Tier 3 Capability Roadmap. The CPP process will be supported by detailed analysis and the maturation of developing technologies. 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.

- Change Summary Explanation
- Technical: Not applicable. Schedule: Project 2696: Initial Operational Test & Evaluation was completed on 25 March 2013. At a 26 June 2013 DAB, the program received approval to change the program strategy to include an LRIP Lot 4 in FY13 and to defer the Full Rate Production (FRP) DAB until FY14. LRIP Lot 4 contract was awarded in July 2013. Initial Operational Capability (IOC) was achieved in November 2013 and the FRP decision was approved on January 3, 2014. IT&E extended through 2Q FY18. FOT&E 3 (VCD) start moved from 2Q FY18 to 4Q FY16 and end date moved from 3Q FY18 to 1Q FY17. FRP Contract Award moved from 4Q FY13 to 2Q FY14. LRIP task end date moved from 3Q FY15 to 3Q FY16. Project 3181: Technology Development (TD)/Risk Reduction Phase extended to 4Q FY13, OT&E (EOC) shifted from 4Q FY13 start to 3Q FY14 start to correct software deficiencies. Retrofit Kits (ECP1) moved from 1Q FY14 to 3Q FY14. Kit Delivery start date moved from 3Q FY14 to 2Q FY15 and end date moved from 4Q FY17 to 1Q FY18. Project 3218: Scheduling adjustments reflect signed Acquisition Strategy and current funding profile. The Acquisition Strategy signed by OSD on 18 October 2013, authorizes execution of Pre-EMD activities leading up to a MS B, eliminating MS A. Based on current program profile: MS B moved from 3Q FY16 to 2Q FY17. MS C changed from 2Q FY18 to 2Q FY19. Prototyping task end date extended from 2Q FY16 to 2Q FY17. EMD start date moved from 3Q FY16 to 2Q FY17 and end date moved from 1Q FY18 to 2Q FY19. Preliminary Design Review changed from 1Q FY16 to 4Q FY 16, Critical Design Review changed from 1Q FY17 to 2Q FY18. Lab Testing start date moved from 2Q FY15 to 1Q FY16, and the end date moved from 1Q FY17 to 4Q FY18. IT start date moved from 2Q FY17 to 1Q FY18. To add further fidelity to the schedule the following changes were made: Tech Dev / Risk Reduction task became separate lines named H/W Dev and Risk Reduction with the end date extended from 3Q FY16 to 2Q FY17. Tech Dev/Risk Reduction contract award became separate actions named H/W Dev ABA and Risk Reduction with the award shifting from 2QFY14 to 3Q FY14 for Risk Reduction and 4Q FY14 for ABA; Engineering and Manufacturing Development (EMD) Contract Award was separated to become EMD ABA and EMD Platform Integration and moved from 3Q FY16 to 2Q F17; and added Capability Development & Integration task.
