Networking And Mission Planning
Abstract
The FY 2016 budget request funds the development of Networking and Mission Planning systems required to horizontally and vertically integrate the battlefield and the integration of those systems into Army aircraft. Tasks in this Project support research, development, and test efforts in the Engineering and Manufacturing Development (EMD) phases of these systems. The Aviation Data Exploitation Capability (ADEC) is an Army aviation automated information system program providing specific capabilities needed at the aviation unit level to implement and support improvements within aviation operations, safety, and training to increase operational effectiveness and situational awareness at all command echelons. ADEC provides a common and interoperable capability required to implement the DoD mandated Military Flight Operations Quality Assurance processes. ADEC will standardize flight scheduling/management, risk management, mission approval, and flight data analysis and visualization. ADEC provides interfaces to Centralized Aviation Flight Records System (CAFRS) and Aviation Logistic Enterprise- Platform (ALE-P) to reduce data entry and the information technology footprint while enabling disconnected and split based operations. The Aircraft Notebook (ACN) is an Army aviation automated information system program required to streamline the completion of aviation maintenance activities and the documentation required to maintain airworthiness for all Army aircraft. ACN implements The Army Maintenance Management System - Aviation (TAMMS-A) digital logbook functionality and integrates with CAFRS and ALE-P to reduce manual entries and increase data accuracy. ACN reduces the information technology footprint within an aviation unit by integrating multiple software applications such as platform software applications, interactive electronic technical manuals, and condition based maintenance plus tools onto one hardware platform. The Degraded Visual Environment (DVE) is required to reduce personnel and rotorcraft losses while conducting both tactical and training missions in environments that restrict or severely reduce the aircrew's visibility due to atmospheric obscurants. DVE will improve safety, reduce risk and add flexibility to aviation units by enhancing situational awareness through real-time detection and warning of terrain, obstacles and hazards. DVE will consist of integrated rotorcraft pilotage augmentation systems, sensor(s), software, software related hardware, and pilot to system interfaces and cueing devices. DVE will fuse a synthetic vision avionics backbone with aircraft state data and obscurant penetrating sensor(s) to provide a single rotorcraft capability for ground taxi, hover, takeoff and landing modes of flight. The ALE-P is the single logistics information system for all of Army aviation and serves as an extension to Global Combat Support System-Army (GCSS-Army). ALE-P replaces the Unit Level Logistics System-Aviation (Enhanced) (ULLS-A[E]) and the Unmanned Aviation Systems-Initiative (UAS-I) systems. ALE-P provides necessary interfaces to GCSS-Army and other enterprise systems at Logistics Support Activity (LOGSA), Aviation and Missile Command (AMCOM), and Program Executive Office (PEO) Aviation. ALE-P interfaces with the ACN and ADEC at the unit level to maintain continuous airworthiness and aircraft historical records and provides the maintenance/readiness posture to the commander.
