Description

Mission CV Acft Fire Suppress System

This project develops improved fire-fighting systems and fire protective measures for aircraft-related fires on aircraft carriers, including assessment of fire properties, definition of fire threats, improvements to fire-fighting agents and delivery systems, fire detection and suppression system performance evaluations, and fire-fighter training improvements.

Mission Acft Survivability, Vulnerability & Safety

Aircraft Survivability, Vulnerability and Safety. This project evaluates and develops prototype hardware and software solutions to improve the survivability of Navy and Marine Corps aircraft. This project addresses the likelihood of an aircraft being hit (susceptibility) and the probability of a kill if the aircraft is hit (vulnerability). Types of programs funded under this project include signature reduction efforts, subsystem and component hardening and development of integrated Aviation Survivability Equipment (iASE) architectures for simulation and training systems. This project also provides an engineering level modeling and simulation capability to assess electronic warfare capabilities and to support future electronic warfare investment strategies. Further, this effort expands upon existing high fidelity Hardware In The Loop (HITL) capability and this expanded capability will enable the assessment of Electronic Warfare (EW) concepts versus future (i.e. not fully defined) threat systems. This project will include the development of new or modification of existing modules which are high fidelity representations of the EW and threat system's components and will support iASE hardware and software research and future technological survivability concepts as they become available.

Mission Aviation Survivability

Aviation Survivability addresses the issues of aircrew and platform survivability, focusing on enhancing overall opportunity for aircrew and platform protection and enhanced performance. The capabilities addressed under this program element counter emerging threats of next generation operational weapons systems and enhance combat effectiveness in future operational mission scenarios. JUSTIFICATION FOR BUDGET ACTIVITY: This program is funded under ADVANCED COMPONENT DEVELOPMENT AND PROTOTYPES because it includes all efforts necessary to evaluate integrated technologies, representative models or prototype systems in a high fidelity and realistic operating environment.

Mission Acft & Ordnance Safety

The Aircraft and Ordnance Safety Program transitions innovative munitions safety technology to Navy and Marine Corps air weapons, to comply with the Chief of Naval Operations direction that all munitions carried aboard Navy ships be insensitive to unplanned stimuli (thermal, impact, and shock events). The Aircraft and Ordnance Safety Program also ensures the safety and protection of personnel, aircraft, ships, and operational facilities, through improved precision targeting, fail-safe ordnance, selective effects munitions and shock/blast force protection technologies.

Mission Acft Protective Clothing

Project 0584 develops, demonstrates, prototypes, and validates technologies designed to enhance warfighter performance, protection, injury prevention, mission effectiveness, sustainment, and survivability. The project addresses readiness, life support equipment, physiological episodes, hearing protection and communication intelligibility, day / night digital advanced helmet vision systems, laser eye protection and supporting technologies, escape and crashworthy systems, active/passive restraint systems; survival and evasion, aircrew/injury modeling, crew centered cockpit design control stations, and aircraft maintainer protection. Fully protected and mission ready Aircrew are a critical component of Ready Basic Aircraft and mission execution. Project 0584 responds to a number of operational requirements documents, including OR# 210-05-88 for Chemical and Biological protection, OR# 099-05-087 for Laser Eye Protection, Aircrew Laser Eye Protection (ALEP) joint operation requirements document JORD #513-88-99, and Capabilities Program Document (CPD) Night Vision Cueing and Display (NVCD).
