JPALS

Abstract

Joint Precision Approach and Landing System (JPALS) Increment 1A provides for development, integration, installation, and test of Sea-Based JPALS on all air capable ships, in accordance with the JPALS Capability Development Document (CDD). This effort includes the build and test of Ship Global Positioning System/Inertial Navigation System based precision approach and landing systems to replace obsolete AN/SPN-46 and AN/SPN-35 Systems. This requirement supports the JPALS Integration on CVN/LHA/LHD-class ships, DDG-1000 class ships (TACAN Replacement), establishes requirements for air integration, and provides critical enabling technology for Joint Strike Fighter and Navy Unmanned Combat Air System (UCAS). Includes risk reduction efforts and trade studies for other air capable ships. JPALS Engineering Development Model (EDM) test articles will be delivered to support system development and demonstration, as follows: FY10 - 1 unit for Contractor Ship Integration Lab (CSIL) FY11 - 1 unit for Government Landing Systems Test Facility FY12 - 6 EDMs for Shipboard Testing (CVN + LHD/LHA)
