Air Vehicle

Abstract

E-2D Air Vehicle improvements include the development of solutions to improve safety, structural integrity, and systems reliability of the E-2D aircraft. Improvements include analysis and redesign of structural components and components to minimize excessive and premature wear, increase reliability, improve existing design deficiencies, and respond to Fleet urgent operational requirements. The improvements will address known, predicted, and emergent obsolescence equipment issues. These efforts include, but are not limited to Aerial Refueling (AR), Improved Landing Mode (ILM) capabilities, airframe, engine, and electrical component improvements, full scale fatigue testing, and technology upgrades. Future AR tanker testing will include qualification of KC-130, KC46, and MQ25. Funding also includes the flight/engine hours that are necessary for design, development, validation and verification.
