EMALS
Abstract
This project provides for the development of an advanced technology aircraft launch system in support of the CVN 78 design and construction schedule, as well as Engineering and Life Cycle System (E&LCS) design. The Electromagnetic Aircraft Launch System (EMALS) will be the aircraft catapult for CVN 78 Class ships. EMALS provides better control of applied forces, both peak and transient dynamic, improved reliability and maintainability, increased operational availability, and reduced operator and maintainer workload. The EMALS program will undergo future development efforts for system improvements. Automated software testing development provides for rapid, repeatable tests, resulting in higher quality software. Automated testing enables rapid diagnosis of system faults and decrease troubleshooting response time for the fleet. EMALS is a software intensive system and highly dependent on reliable software operation. The readiness and mission benefits include the ability to provide the fleet with affordable, quality, well-tested software capable of launching and recovering aircraft on Ford-Class carriers.
