(U)CARRIER ONBOARD DELIVERY (COD) FOLLOW ON

Abstract

Funding supports the analytic, risk reduction, and programmatic activities to recapitalize the Carrier Onboard Delivery (COD) capability. This medium-lift/long-range logistics aircraft will provide critical air connector capability for time-critical logistics within the Navy Seabasing logistics enabling concept in support of the Carrier Strike Groups. This capability is currently provided by the C-2A Greyhounds, which are projected to begin retiring in large numbers as they reach their fatigue service life limits and the force falls below primary aircraft allocation in 2028. This effort is an FY14 new start. Studies for this effort were previously funded under Studies and Analysis Support - Navy, project element 0605152N using the same project unit. This program is funded under OPERATIONAL SYSTEMS DEVELOPMENT because it includes development efforts to upgrade systems that have been fielded or have received approval for full rate production and anticipate funding in the current or subsequent fiscal year.
