Advanced Arresting Gear
Abstract
The Advanced Arresting Gear (AAG) program designed, developed, tested and fielded an aircraft arrestment system to replace the legacy Mark 7 arresting gear. AAG systems are being installed on all new construction aircraft carriers. AAG will provides 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 system improvements to address safety, obsolescence, and reliability, to include but not limited to AAG Software Stability. The Software Stability development efforts will address software deficiencies, 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). Development efforts 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, these efforts will address findings via software modernization and re-architecture, with new software adhering to improved Level or Rigor (LOR) standards and processes.
