Fixed Wing Aircraft
Abstract
The budget line provides for Non-Recurring Engineering (NRE), development of supplemental type certificates (STC) and associated testing, and integration of all Army fixed wing aircraft to provide Communications, navigation and Surveillance (CNS), Aircraft Survivability Equipment (ASE), and Department of Defense (DoD) mandated safety equipment to meet current and evolving international and Army standards. FY 2015 Research, Development, Test and Evaluation (RDT&E) dollars in the amount of $0.819 million provides funding for developmental NRE for aircraft modifications to CNS, ASE, and integration of Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) Mission Equipment Packages (MEP). 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 exclusions are likely for aircraft not properly equipped. Upgrade of communication and aircraft modifications will assure worldwide deployability for those required to deploy. This budget line will also provide funding for studies, evaluations and Analysis of Alternatives to support emerging Army fixed wing requirements for product improvements to support the Army fleet.
