AV-8B
Abstract
This program provides AV-8B Design, Development, Integration and Test of the following improvements: The Engine Life Management Program (ELMP), Escape System and Aircraft Handling/Readiness Management Plan (RMP). The ELMP is a comprehensive plan to increase safety of flight and operational readiness of the AV-8B F402-RR-408 Engine and Gas Turbine Starter (GTS). The Program Office will accomplish this mission through the Component Improvement Program, by conducting Engineering Project Description investigations and performing a series of planned Accelerated Simulated Mission Endurance Tests (ASMET) to derive engineering improvements to the engine. The Escape System qualifies an improved ejection seat to reduce the risk of injury to aircrew. The Joint Mission Planning System (JMPS) is required as part of the DON directed migration to a common Navy and Marine Corps mission planning system. H5.0 Block Upgrade provides Dual Mode Laser Guided Bombs (DMLGB) and Litening Pod carriage on STA4 (Centerline). H6.0 includes weapons carriage expansion efforts and provides the first step toward Battle Space Networking interoperability within the Netcentric OP-area. The program is working closely with the Common Avionics program and the Allies (Spain, Italy and the United Kingdom) on these efforts. A/C Handling and performance represents all engineering activities for development and design to support aircraft safety flight clearance and concept exploration for resolution of emergent service life and readiness issues.
