Description
Description — Joint Precision Approach and Landing System(JPALS)
The Joint Precision Approach and Landing System (JPALS) is the primary precision approach and landing system for CVN and LHA/D ships to support aircraft without SPN-46 Automatic Carrier Landing Systems (ACLS) capability, which include F-35B, F-35C, MQ-25, CVM-22 and future platforms. The nomenclature for JPALS has been designated AN/USN-3(V)1, Satellite Signals Landing System (SSLS). JPALS ship systems are required to provide CVN and LHA/D ships a primary precision approach capability during night and instrument flight conditions, including coupled approach capability to a hover transition point for LHA/D ships, and coupled approach to the deck (auto-land) capability aboard CVN ships, and in contested environments. JPALS also provides over-the-air inertial alignment capability for CVN and LHA/D ships to support aircraft platforms without Link-4A capability, including F-35, MQ-25, CVM-22 and future platforms. JPALS MS B occurred June 2016 and MS C occurred April 2019. Production contract awarded May 2019. Material Support date March 2023.
Justification
Justification — Joint Precision Approach and Landing System(JPALS)
FY 2026 funds the installation of (2) Landing Autonomous Navigation Technology for Enhanced Recovery to Navy Ships (LANTERNS), as well as ECPs for Agnostic Data Link, and Waveoff Circuit Card Assembly (CCA) to compensate for the erroneous Waveoff for the MQ-25A. The FY 2026 request was reduced by $.366 million for Advisory and Assistance Services to promote efficiencies and advance the policies of the Administration in alignment with Executive Order 14222, "Implementing the President's Department of Government Efficiency Cost Efficiency Initiative."
