Fixed Wing Aircraft
Abstract
The budget line provides for Non-Recurring Engineering (NRE) and integration of all Army fixed wing aircraft such as C-31A, UV-18, UV-20, CE-182, CE-208, O-2, T-34, U-21, B-300, King Air 350, C-12, RC-12, UC-35, C-23, C-26, C-37, C-20, and EO-5 for aircraft communications, navigation, surveillance (CNS) and Department of Defense (DoD) mandated safety equipment to meet current and evolving international standards. FY13 Research, Development, Test, and Evaluation (RDT&E) dollars in the amount of $0.979 million provides funding for NRE of CNS equipment that meets current and future air traffic management requirements. The increased performance will permit the Army fixed wing aircraft to operate in compliance with other existing and emerging regulations. As requirements for new avionics equipment continue, aircraft delays and airspace exclusion are likely for aircraft not properly equipped. Upgrade of communication and navigation systems will improve aircraft performance and enhance reliability and maintainability, thereby improving aircraft availability for mission requirements. The associated aircraft modifications will assure worldwide deployability for those required to deploy.
