AV-8B
Abstract
This program provides for 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), as well as other critical engine components. The Program Office will accomplish this mission through the Component Improvement Program (CIP), which entails Engineering Project Description investigations and a series of planned Endurance Tests to derive safety and reliability improvements to the engine and engine components. 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. H6.0 includes weapons carriage expansion efforts, H6.1 provides enhancements and software corrections, and H6.2 (Common Avionics Program) provides GPS navigation capabilities. Other specific efforts include Airborne Variable Message Format Terminal (AVT), Flight Control Computer (FCC) and Radar Display Computer (RDC). The program is working closely with the Common Avionics program and the Allies (Spain and Italy) on all 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.
