Description
Description — Advanced Arresting Gear (AAG)
This budget line item funds the procurement for Advanced Arresting Gear (AAG) life cycle support modifications and upgrades required aboard Ford Class Carriers, Jet Car Track Site (JCTS) and Runway Arrested Landing Site (RALS) systems. Modifications included in the budget support fatigue life, obsolescence and performance enhancements to ensure the system remains operational throughout the life of the program. AAG replaces Mark 7 arresting gear aboard Ford Class aircraft carriers and provides the U.S. Navy with the ability to recover existing and projected aircraft carrier based tail-hook equipped air vehicles well into the 21st century. AAG enhances operational capability, provides increased operational availability, reduces manning, maintenance and support costs. AAG is currently installed aboard CVN-78 as well as two land based test sites JCTS and RALS. Prior Years ($76.9M) funded under Aircraft Support Equipment (BLI 4213 and BLI 4216).
Justification
Justification — Advanced Arresting Gear (AAG)
FY 2026 Baseline funding procures and installs modification kits of the Cable Shock Absorber (CSA) Vent Valve Engineering Change Proposals (ECPs) and associated support. This ECP specifically addresses key operational degraders that are currently negatively impacting CVN-78 Operational Availability (Ao) and Reliability. FY 2026 Baseline funding also procures Support Equipment required for, and specific to, initial stand-up of AAG depot level repair capabilities for Ford Class ships. This includes AAG test fixtures, test stands and tool sets for component repair, with focus on capability for high failure components. In addition, FY 2026 Baseline funding procures support equipment required for, and specific to, AAG Software Support Activity (SSA) to make minor improvements and expand capabilities of the existing AAG lab. Stand-up of AAG Depot and SSA are required to establish capability and capacity to support multiple Ford class ships by 2028. The FY 2026 request was reduced by $.038 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." Notes for Installation Schedule: 1. Installations are subject to change with ship availability schedule updates. 2. The year-to-year unit installations costs will vary and can exceed the projected yearly inflation rate due to the hardware installation cost being dependent on quantity and location of the ship at the time of install or which site is being update, which CVN, and the ships baseline configuration. 3. Production lead time includes pre-installation checkout, kitting with other installation hardware and drawings, and time to deliver the hardware to the installation site. Non-Recurring Engineering (NRE) funding levels will fluctuate due to mix and complexity of system ECPs being written and verified in each year. All ECPs do not require the same level of NRE. Publications and Integrated Logistics Support also vary from year to year based on complexity of logistics elements and number of publications required to be updated for each individual ECP. Integrated Logistics Support and Production Engineering Support also varies from year to year based on complexity of logistics and engineering elements required for each individual ECP.

No follow-the-dollar view — this program's awards haven't been crosswalked at high confidence (flows cover 312 of 1,938 programs). why coverage is partial? →
Related awards
Award linkage is shown for 32 of 200 profiled companies — high- and medium-confidence USAspending matches, each row labeled; medium is the weaker evidence. why partial award coverage? →
Rows marked medium rest on evidence weaker than a program-level match, and of more than one kind. An account-based row, where the award drew from the same appropriation account as this program, is an association, not evidence that this program paid for the contract. Where the evidence is instead an FPDS acquisition-program tag or a subaward description, the program is established but which of its budget lines paid is not. An announcement link a recorded review did not leave standing is medium too. Only high rows rest on the contract naming this program with a recorded review upholding it and no recorded rejection or refutation applying.

Contractor concentration
No concentration index is published for this line. This line's high-confidence links do not clear the floor for a published concentration index — at least 3 awards across 2 contractor families holding positive obligations, with positive net linked dollars. An index below that floor is a fact about the sample, not about the market. Whatever further links this line carries are medium-confidence, and what each medium evidence path does and does not establish is set out in the methodology. Both bases are in the downloadable warehouse.

Oversight
Department-level designation (not specific to this program)
GAO lists 5 high-risk areas for DOD as a whole. That designation covers the department, not Advanced Arresting Gear (AAG). No program-specific GAO finding for this line is in the ingested data. See the DOD oversight record.
No research dossier for this program — dossiers cover 50 of 1,938 programs, the largest fully J-book-detailed lines by FY2026 requested dollars. why no dossier here? →
