Abstract

The Landing System Upgrade Program (LSUP) is essential to maintain the United States Navy's capability to perform safe and expeditious aircraft landings aboard CVN and LHA/D vessels. The Navy's Precision Approach and Landing Capability requirements have necessitated Life Cycle Extension upgrades to legacy landing systems, AN/SPN-35, AN/SPN-41 and AN/SPN-46. The LSUP program will modernize technology that was developed and fielded over 30 years ago. It is estimated that without these upgrades, the Navy will lose its Automatic Carrier Landing System capability within 5 years. Cyber Security requirements have driven increased efforts to remain compliant with software CyberSecurity directives and Information Assurance mandates. Maintaining compliance is critical to retaining authorization to operate within the Fleet.
