Air-1.0 Programs
Challenges abound within Air-1.0 programs.May
not be as visible as frontline fighters or
weapons, but touch every facet of Naval Aviation
with profound effects.

• FY03 Total Obligation Authority (TOA) of 1.4B
  spread across many programs
• 63 ACAT programs
• 789 aircraft and 35 T/M/Ss
• Much interdependency with PEO(A), PEO(T), and PEO
  (Carriers) programs

Program Transformation Impacts-- Sea Strike --

• Electromagnetic Aircraft Launch System (EMALS)
• Replaces the steam catapults providing improved
  performance, reduced size, and reduced manpower.
• TOPSCENE
• Portable, 3D, realistic, visualization of mission
  / target areas used by warfighters and theater
  commanders.
• Navy Aviation Simulation Master Plan (NASMP)
• Provides for interoperability of training systems
  to allow different aircraft model training
  systems to fly together to improve on
  situational awareness, communications, etc.
• Shipboard Weapons Loader (SWL)
• Replaces manual and single hoist ordnance loading
  techniques with human amplification technology.

5
Program Transformation Impacts-- Sea Strike --
(Cont.)

• Reconfigurable Transportable Consolidated
  Automated Support System (RTCASS)
• Supports Deploying and sustaining USMC Power
  Rapidly by providing USMC Aviation with a
  manportable automated test system.
• Stores Management System Test Set (AWM-103 )
• Replaces 9 obsolete aircraft weapons interface
  test sets with one integrated tester for multiple
  weapons across multiple aircraft platforms.
• Shaft Engine Test Instrumentation (SETI)
• Replaces 6 unique and obsolete I level engine
  test cell configurations with 1 common shaft
  engine test cell instrumentation configuration
  for all USN/USMC helicopter platforms.

6
Program Transformation Impacts-- Sea Strike --
(Cont.)

• Military Flight Operations Quality Assurance
  (MFOQA)
• Provides equipment and tools required to reduce
  preventable accidents.
• Advanced Mission Computer Displays (AMCD)
• Enhanced mission processing capability, supports
  new cockpit imagery, data, and voice processing.
• Cooperative ID
• Secondary surveillance radar, Mode S, encrypted
  Mode 5 working in conjunction with new CONOPS to
  decrease fratricide incidents and increase
  situational awareness.

7
Program Transformation Impacts-- Sea Strike --
(Cont.)

• Tactical Combat Training System (TCTS)
• Portable system that needs no towers for
  communications with airborne instrumentation/groun
  d system processing.
• High Speed Vessel (HSV-2 Swift)
• NAVAIR led a Virtual SYSCOM Aviation team to
  provide C4I/Comm suite, hardware and integration,
  TACAN/IFF hardware and integration, and aviation
  facility design and certification.

8
Program Transformation Impacts-- FORCEnet --

• Joint Precision Approach and Landing System
  (JPALS)
• Inertial navigation sensors, Global Positioning
  System, and low power, spread spectrum data links
  for precision approach and landing. Replaces
  legacy PALS.
• GPS Anti-Jam
• Improvement in Anti-Jam is required to maintain
  our GPS connections in a war environment.
• Bandwidth Enhancing Modulation / Linear
  Components (BEAM/LINC)
• Provides 3X bandwidth increases for
  line-of-sight and beyond.

9
Program Transformation Impacts-- FORCEnet --
(Cont.)

• Joint Variable Message Format (JVMF)
• Digital battlefield messaging scheme that allows
  for changes without corrections to OFP software.
• Joint Tactical Radio System (JTRS)
• Foundational communications system for NCW.

10
Program Transformation Impacts-- Sea Enterprise
--

• SIGMA / ERP
• Implementation of best practices and
  state-of-the-art, commercial-off-the-shelf
  solutions that enhance Command financial, human
  resource, material, project management, and
  maintenance/repair/overhaul operations.

11
Program Impacts Due ToOperation Iraqi Freedom
(OIF)

• Increased numbers of ships, aircraft, and
  personnel deployed.
• Improved training and mission rehearsal.
• Environmental (fine sand, desert ops).
• Operational requirement changes.

12
Program Impacts Due To OIF

• Increased numbers of ships, aircraft, and
  personnel deployed.
• More CHEM/BIO Gloves.
• More improved survival radios (PRC-112B).
• Increased numbers of ship certifications above
  planned (PALSCERT).
• Improved training and mission rehearsal.
• Tri-Service application of USN TOPSCENE program.
• Enhanced tactical training range instrumentation.

13
Program Impacts Due To OIF (Cont.)

• Environmental (fine sand, desert ops).
• H-46 Engine operating life and rotor blade
  erosion.
• Operational requirement changes.
• H-46 Long Range Communication.
• Contractors supporting Aircraft In-Theatre (e.g.
  C-20G). Contracting mods required to reflect
  operations in combat zone.
• Deployed Expeditionary Airfield (EAF) technical
  support due to insufficient SIPRNET access.
• Mobi-Mat first time deployed. Portable matting
  for helicopter landing.
• Blue Force Tracker.
• Integrated Joint Common Operating Picture
