AV-8B
Abstract
This program provides for AV-8B Design, Development, Integration and Test of the following improvements: The Engine Life Management Program (ELMP), Operational Flight Program (OFP) and Avionics/Weapons Integration, Escape System, and 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, as well as other critical engine components. The Program Office will accomplish this mission through the Component Improvement Program, which entails Engineering Project Description investigations to derive safety and reliability improvements to the engine and engine components. The Joint Mission Planning System is required as part of the Department of Navy directed migration to a common Navy and Marine Corps mission planning system. H6.2 provides Global Positioning System navigation capabilities, a Litening common OFP update and initial Link 16 capability to include use of the APX-123, initial Mode 5 capability, as well as software updates. H7.0 OFP will integrate full Harrier Link 16 capability and provide software updates. H7.0 will also integrate AIM-9X, a Litening Common OFP update, provide Advanced Precision Kill Weapon System (APKWS) integration improvements, Joint Standoff Weapons (JSOW), and common avionics ADS-B (out), Mode 5, and Mode S Identification Friend or Foe capabilities as well as integrate required Radar Display Computer processing improvements to enable H7.0 functionality. Other specific efforts include peculiar integration and flight test requirements such as AIM-120C flight test, as AIM-120A/B will become obsolete, as well as AIM-120 mixed stores flight test, unique weapons, sensors, and countermeasures integration and stores expansion to include APKWS, Helmet Mounted Cueing System (HMCS), AIM-9X, ALE-43, standoff weapons such as Joint Standoff Weapons (JSOW) and unique flight test of other avionics, sensors, or weapons systems , or emergent tactical requirements, as they arise. The program is working closely with the Common Avionics Program and the Allies (Spain and Italy) on all efforts. RMP represents all engineering activities for development, design and test to support aircraft safety, flight clearance and concept exploration for resolution of emergent safety, service life, escape systems, compatibility, obsolescence, and readiness issues as well as response to fleet urgent operational requirements.
