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 and air stations ashore, 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, AN/SPN-42, and AN/SPN-35 Systems. This requirement supports the JPALS Integration on CVN/LHA/LHD-class ships and establishes requirements for air integration, and provides critical enabling technology for Joint Strike Fighter (JSF)F-35 A/B/C, Unmanned Carrier-Launched Airborne Surveillance and Strike (UCLASS) and FIRESCOUT Unmanned Air System (UAS). Includes risk reduction efforts and trade studies for DDG-1000 and all other Air Capable Ships (ACS). JPALS Engineering Development Model (EDM) test articles will be delivered to support system development and demonstration, as follows: FY12 - 6 EDMs for Shipboard Testing (CVN+LHD/LHA) FY13 - 2 RDT&E LRIPs for Shipboard Testing (CVN/LHD)
