Calibration Standards
Abstract
Navy-wide program which addresses Metrology related RDT&E issues for navy weapon systems, shipboard platforms, Naval Air, and Fleet Ground Marines. It supports development of calibration standards (equipment, procedures and technical data) required to resolve Metcal related safety, obsolescence, new and emerging technology support and cost reduction issues. It funds Navy unique and lead service responsibilities in DoD and Joint Services Metrology Research Programs to develop calibration solutions. The line supports development of measurement requirements to verify performance of all test systems used to validate the operation of Navy Weapon Systems with calibration standards traceable to the National Institute of Standards and Technology to calibrate, sustain and ensure performance accuracy. This program also provides benefits and efficiencies in a joint collaborative environment within the Tri-Services. Projects are identified and defined so that they will meet the universal requirement. Development efforts are integrated in order to achieve the common capabilities required at minimum cost. This is also a regular and common business practice within the Navy Metrology Community where R&D efforts are communicated and integrated into the multiple testing and Monitoring Systems. This is done in support of Program Managers, Sponsors, and Principle Executive officers. As a result, common requirements are established, duplication of efforts are eliminated, and best value, high quality Metcal products are produced for the Navy.

Continue development of (1) measurement Uncertainty Automation phase III in support of Component Equipment Operational Readiness. The 190K decrease from FY21 to FY22 will be applied to the Zero Chain Traceabilty capability development. This will push out and delay the new start development effort of this project. The Navy Metrology program has a requirement to modernize and produce an "out of the lab to direct user" capability to perform precise measurements and equip our ships with improved reliable offensive weapon system performances, sensors, and hard kill/soft kill capabilities that will contribute to the Navy's goal of Distributed Lethality. The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) proposed NIST On A Chip (NOAC) Zero Chain Traceability effort reaches across the entire Joint service metrology requirements to provide intrinsic quantum-based measurement technologies with direct SI Traceable measurement built into calibration instruments and test measurement systems. This capability ensures equipment measurement performance in-situ will increase readiness and reduce costs. This is a multi-year effort that reaches across several FYDP POM cycles.
