Fixed Wing Product Improvement Program

Abstract

The budget line provides for Fixed Wing (FW) fielded fleet Non-Recurring Engineering (NRE), development of supplemental type certificates (STC) and associated developmental testing, and integration of all Army Fixed Wing Aircraft to provide Communications, Navigation and Surveillance (CNS), Aircraft Survivability Equipment (ASE), modifications in service, and Department of Defense (DoD) mandated safety equipment to meet current and evolving international and Army standards. As requirements for new avionics equipment evolve, aircraft delays and airspace exclusions are likely for aircraft not properly equipped. Upgrade of communication and aircraft modifications assures worldwide deployability for those required to deploy. This budget line provides funding for studies, evaluations and Analysis of Alternatives to support emerging Army fixed wing requirements for product improvements to support the FW fleet. This budget line also provides funding for continued Test and Evaluation of Fixed Wing Aircraft.
