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.
