ACFT Avionics
Abstract
The Fiscal Year (FY) 2023 budget request funds the development of Aircraft Avionics systems required to horizontally and vertically integrate the battlefield and the integration of those systems into Army aircraft. Tasks in this Program Element support research, development, and test efforts in the Engineering and Manufacturing Development phases of these systems. Alternate capabilities (non-GPS) and/or complimentary PNT solutions will be investigated, studied, evaluated and developed as standalone or blended navigation functions. The Enhanced Aviation Global Air Traffic Management (GATM) Localizer Performance with Vertical Guidance (LPV) Embedded Global Positioning System (GPS) Inertial Navigation System (EGI) (EAGLE-M) development program upgrades existing EGI hardware by incorporating M-Code to provide Assured Positioning, Navigation and Timing (A-PNT) capability in a GPS degraded environment. The Alternate Position, Navigation, and Time (ALT-PNT) enables precise navigation and timing during Multidomain Operations (MDO) operations in the absence of GPS by leveraging ALT-NAV and Vision Based Navigation (VBN) efforts, and providing a secure and reliable fused PNT solution utilizing new and existing high grade sensors available on manned aviation aircraft. ALT-PNT utilizes Modular Open System Architecture (MOSA) standards allowing rapid and affordable platform integration, adopting of new technologies, and adjustment to changes in adversarial capability. FY22 SBIR/STTR Transfer $212k in accordance with Title 15 USC 638. The AN/ARC-220 High Frequency (HF) Radio is a US Army rotary wing high frequency solution which is operational on over 2,400 Army helicopters (primarily CH-47, UH-60, and AH-64). Key capabilities are voice and data, Automatic Link Establishment, text messaging, position reporting, and Selective Calling. It is also Voice Interoperable with standard ground HF systems in use today. Efforts include development of an Airborne Radio Control Manager (ARCM) driver to enhance the modernization of the AN/ARC-220 HF Radio.
