JPALS Inc 2

Abstract

This program element provides for the development, integration, and testing of the Joint Precision Approach and Landing System (JPALS), Increment (Inc) 2. Inc 2 Land Based (LB) JPALS will mitigate the capability gaps identified in the Precision Approach and Landing Capability (PALC) Initial Capabilities Document (ICD). To be readily available to the Joint Force Commander, aviation assets need to operate in and out of airfields and landing areas across the range of military operations and in adverse weather conditions. Inc 2 LB JPALS will provide a joint, interoperable PALC for all aviation assets in conventional fixed-base and expeditionary operations. Inc 2 LB JPALS will provide guidance based on the aircraft's position in relation to the final approach course (azimuth), the glide path (elevation), and the distance (range) from the touchdown point on the runway or landing surface to enable a Category I precision approach and landing. The JPALS Capability Development Document (CDD) was approved 16 March 2007 and Annex A (Inc 2) was approved on 19 January 2010.
