Advanced Arresting Gear

Abstract

The Advanced Arresting Gear (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 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. The increase from $0M in FY18 to $184.1M in FY19 is a direct result of Advanced Arresting Gear (AAG) program moving PE 0604512N PU 2232 to PE 0604530N PU 2367. The overall $13.6M increase from FY 2018 $170.5M (in the Shipboard Aviation Systems program element 0604512N) to FY 2019 $184.1M is part of the effort to fund AAG to the Nunn-McCurdy cost estimate. This increase provides support for Primary HW Development efforts, AAG Test & Evaluation efforts, Depot Planning efforts, Software Support Activity and Training efforts that were not previously fully funded under the ACAT designation.
