Abstract

The Landing System Upgrade Program (LSUP) is essential to retain the United States Navy's capability to perform safe and expeditious aircraft landings aboard CVN and LHA/D class vessels during adverse weather and night conditions, and in contested environments. The Navy's Precision Approach and Landing Capability requirements necessitate Life Cycle Extension upgrades to all three legacy precision landing systems; AN/SPN-35, AN/SPN-41 and AN/SPN-46. The LSUP program modernizes obsolete technology developed and fielded over 30 years ago. Without these upgrades, the Navy estimates complete loss of Automatic Carrier Landing System capability within 5 years. Cyber Security requirements drive increased efforts to remain compliant with software CyberSecurity directives and Information Assurance mandates across the portfolio; maintaining compliance is critical to retaining authorization to operate for Fleet users.
