JPALS
Abstract
The increase from FY 16 to FY 17 reflects the additional funding added by the Department to finance additional development, testing, and integration activities to implement and field a JPALS ship system that includes UDB, precision approach, and auto-land capability for manned and unmanned platforms. The FY 17 funding request includes two additional Engineering Development Models to support F-35 JPALS early operational capability. Joint Precision Approach and Landing System (JPALS) provides for development, integration, installation, and test of Sea-Based JPALS on CVN/LHA/LHD ships in accordance with the JPALS Capability Development Document. This requirement supports the JPALS Integration on CVN/LHA/LHD ships and establishes requirements for enabling critical technology for Joint Strike Fighter (JSF) F-35B Marine Corps Short Take-Off and Vertical Landing and F-35C Navy Carrier Variant, and Unmanned Carrier Launched Airborne Surveillance and Strike (UCLASS). Initial JPALS capability is baselined in F-35 Block 3F software. JPALS Engineering Development Model (EDM) test articles have been delivered to support system development and demonstration, and JPALS ship systems will be installed on CVN/LHA/LHD ships in support of the F-35B/C and UCLASS shipboard testing. JPALS will continue to invest in software development in direct support of precision approach and auto-land capabilities for the F-35B/C, UCLASS, and future air platforms.
