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 will undergo future development efforts for system improvements. AAG Software Stability development effort will address systemic software stability and reliability issues documented in a System Safety Risk Assessment (SSRA) for AAG software, and in a separate investigative report by a NAVAIR Independent Review Team (IRT). The development effort will mitigate specific findings related to non-deterministic behavior and latency of the software that contribute to the SSRA Hazard rating (1D-Serious). Per IRT report recommendations, the effort will address findings via software modernization and re-architecture, with new software adhering to improved Level or Rigor (LOR) standards and processes. A multi-year, competitively sourced software development effort will begin in FY 2024 with evaluation of existing software deficiencies, followed by architecture and design, coding, and test through FY 2028.
