Abstract
1) Noise Reduction: Research, Development, Test and Evaluation (RDT&E) funding to support the redesign of Chevron seals to reduce engine exhaust plume noise. Numerous solutions have been evaluated. Chevron seals were determined to be the favorable solution for the F/A-18 and EA-18G. Previous testing of F414 chevrons demonstrated satisfactory noise reduction up to 80% power, but did not satisfy noise reduction requirements at full power. A possible cause of this problem has been identified. There are re-design options available to sustain noise reduction up to full power. Additional development and test will be required to finalize the Chevron design to achieve the desired noise reduction at all power levels. The subject funding will support the initial development efforts. 2) Navy Joint Air-to-Ground Missile for Fixed Wing Aircraft (JAGM-F) - Research, Development, Test and Evaluation (RDT&E) funding to support the initial integration efforts for the next generation of air-to-ground missile onto the F/A18E/F aircraft. The JAGM-F missile test and evaluation efforts are being conducted to ensure missile compatibility with the Navy environment and to confirm the performance of the missile meets mission requirements. The JAGM-F will build on the SDB II Unique Armament Interface integration efforts that are currently underway on the F/A-18E/F.
