Core Avionics Master PlanIII. AVIONICS.A. Core Avionics. Core avionics include those electronic systems that providefunctionalities in support of the fundamentals of flight (aviate, navigate, communicate),as well as flight safety, platform survivability, and information management in support ofindividual and collaborative mission accomplishment. When they have applicationacross multiple platforms, avionics can be considered ‘common’ or ‘commodity’systems. In this master plan, core avionics are divided into the following functionalcapability areas: Information Management – planning, processing, display Information Exchange – voice, data, imagery, video, tactical networks, encryption Navigation – position, velocity, altitude, attitude and time (en-route and approach) Cooperative Surveillance and Combat Identification – battle-space management Flight Safety – collision/terrain avoidance, parameter recording, health monitoring Self Protection – threat sensors and defensive countermeasuresB. Unique Avionics. Unique avionics include those systems that enable a capabilitythat is specific to a particular platform. In some cases there are no other platforms thatperform that mission task. In other cases these are solutions whose design factors areso unique that they could not be practically integrated into other aircraft, such as withthe E-2 radar. Although CAMP 2012 is scoped to focus on core systems, many of thestrategies and practices described in this plan can also be applied to unique systems.Unique avionics can be grouped into the following functional capability areas: Sensors – radars, radio frequency, infrared, optical, ‘listening’ systems Ordnance Controllers – weapons arming and release Offensive weapons systems – lasers, jammers Specialized data links – Intra-community Intel/Surveillance/Reconnaissancetransceivers and wave forms, unmanned aircraft flight control signals Classified SystemsC. Avionics Relevance. Core avionics manage information, provide situationalawareness and enable decision-making to execute all missions, whether they aretraining, transport or combat related. The following evolving avionics enabledcapabilities will transform air warfare to meet Naval Aviation Vision 2030 goals. Inter-platform Digital Interoperability for Networked Warfare Secure Combat Identification (CID) Blue Force Situational Awareness (BFSA) Secure, GPS-based en-route, precision and non-precision approach navigation Unrestricted global access through foreign and domestic civil airspaces Multi-level, secure communications and information exchange Military Flight Operations Quality Assurance (MFOQA) for safety/proficiency Condition-Based Maintenance (CBM)Core Section CAMP 2012 2
IV. RECOMMENDED PRACTICES.Core Avionics Master PlanWith limited resources available to balance current and future readiness, NavalAviation cannot afford to pay for independent development or separate and discretemodification of core avionics over every platform’s life cycle. The Fleet cannot affordduplicative overhead costs of multiple unique systems that address a similarfunctionality. The acquisition workforce must work to capture overhead efficiencies thatreduce their costs of doing business. The Secretary of Defense (SECDEF) andChairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff (CJCS) recently instituted a comprehensiverevision of the requirements generation process and acquisition managementinstructions. In order to provide the greatest aviation system capabilities and warfightingbenefits for the dollars available, this master plan presents recommended practices foreach realm of the NAE triad.A. Requirements. Requirements are capability needs identified (generated) bywarfighters and formally documented using processes prescribed in CJCS Instruction3170.01F, Joint Capability Integration and Development System (JCIDS). Solutions tosatisfy requirements are developed, fielded and sustained by acquisition programmanagers. Funds to cover solutions development, fielding and sustainment areallocated by Navy OPNAV and Marine Corps Deputy Commandant, Aviation (DC/A),resource sponsors. When Fleet operators first identify specific mission capability gaps,they are not constrained by resource limitations. Fiscal realities are applied later duringissue prioritization in the programming and budgeting phases of budget building.Leaders are encouraged to apply the following recommended requirementsidentification and documentation practices to promote efficient fielding and sustainmentof capabilities enabled by core avionics.1. Use the USN Naval Aviation Requirements Group (NARG) and USMCOperational Advisory Group (OAG) processes to identify and prioritize coreavionics requirements according to collective need and benefits. In response tothe Fleet Forces Command (FFC) Requirements office call for more standardization inFleet requirements identification, the aviation Type Commander (TYCOM), Naval AirForces (CNAF), promulgated CNAF Instruction 3025.1. It establishes methodologiesand guidance for aviation requirements identification and prioritization. This documentwas updated in December 2011. It outlines roles, responsibilities and processes forconducting NARG events, which replaced the former Navy OAGs. The Marine Corpscontinues to use the OAG process, but directly interfaces with the NARG process. Theinstruction establishes both Platform NARGs and Enabler NARGs.Common Avionics, Cooperative Surveillance and Airborne Electronic WarfareEnabler NARGs are held prior to Platform NARG and OAG meetings. A Marine CorpsAvionics Officer serves as the CNAF N8 Common Avionics Requirements Officer, andchairs the Common Avionics Enabler NARG and Executive Steering Committee (ESC)events. Platform community representatives are invited to the Enabler NARGs. Theyare briefed on avionics-enabled capability areas to help understand solution maturity,operational relevance and timing of applicable deadlines. They also collaborativelydevelop tailored recommended priority lists of commodity system enabled requirements.Core Section CAMP 2012 3
