CV/CVN Launch and Recover
Abstract
This Navy unique project addresses the System Development and Demonstration (SDD) of all systems required to recover and launch Navy/Marine Corps Aircraft (Fixed/Rotary Wing and Vertical/Short Take-Off and Landing) operating aboard aircraft carriers (CVN), amphibious assault ships and air capable ships. This program includes the following systems under Project 2232, including the funding of production representative models for: (1) Advanced Arresting Gear (AAG): The AAG program will design, develop, test and field an aircraft arrestment system to replace the legacy Mark 7 arresting gear. AAG systems will be installed on all new construction aircraft carriers. AAG will provide the U.S. Navy with improved operational capability, while reducing operating and support costs. The AAG system will recover all existing and projected carrier based tail hook-equipped air vehicles well into the 21st century. The AAG Program's SDD phase test article consists of a land based, single wire configured aircraft arresting system, which includes associated hardware and software needed to conduct system integrated testing by arresting both dead-loads and aircraft. (2) Aviation Data Management and Control System (ADMACS): ADMACS is an integrated, network-centric, shipboard aviation operations information management system, which will provide data required for aircraft carriers aviation operations planning, execution and readiness assessment. ADMACS communicates aviation and command related data elements across the ADMACS Local Area Network and Integrated Shipboard Network System that electronically displays position and location of aircraft on the flight and hangar decks, status of aircraft, Aircraft Launch and Recovery Equipment, fuel, weapons types and quantity as well as a wide variety of other aviation related and ship information. Shipboard Aviation Information Management System providing CVN Aviation Planning, Execution & Readiness Assessment. (3) Compact Swaging Machine: Funded by ONR (OSD PE# 060051D8Z) in FY 2009. The current process of pouring zinc sockets to attach the arresting gear purchase cable will be replaced with a new swaged terminal design that will be pressed on by means of a high density, compact swaging machine. (4) Aircraft Launch & Recovery Equipment (ALRE) Modernization: ALRE Modernization encompasses efforts required to ensure continued functional performance, operational relevance, and cybersecurity accreditation for all product lines across the ALRE program. This includes efforts required to resolve emerging obsolescence issues (both hardware and software), implement fleet driven operational capability upgrades, and comply with Cybersecurity requirements and computer task order requirements for security threat mitigation. (a)Improved Manually Operated Visual Landing Aid System (IMOVLAS): IMOVLAS will be the manual backup for Improved Fresnel Lens Optical Landing System (IFLOLS), which is the primary carrier Visual Landing Aid. IMOVLAS will be used in high sea states or if IFLOLS is inoperable, and will mirror current IFLOLS configuration in size & display. Two production representative models will be procured in FY 2016; the models will be utilized for environmental and developmental testing. (5) Aircraft Launch & Recovery Equipment (ALRE) Service Life Management Program (SLMP): The ALRE SLMP for Launcher and Recovery is required to sustain carrier aviation operations of higher energy aircraft launch and recoveries that are increasing loads on the ALRE systems, and that are affecting availability, maintainability and cost. This program will consist of service life assessment and extension initiatives and will establish the design foundation (structural, reliability, and maintainability analyses), permit appropriate assessment, track and focus design changes where most needed. Two SLMP Mark 7 prototypes will be procured in FY 2016.
