### Project 0572 — JT Service/NV Std Avionics CP/SB

Joint Services/Navy Standard Avionics Components and Subsystems: This project provides for the identification, study, design, development, demonstration, test, evaluation, and qualification of standard avionics capabilities for Navy use, and wherever practicable, use across all Services and Foreign Military Sales. Standard avionics capabilities under development include the Joint Service Review Committee for Avionics Standardization (JSRC-AS), Communication Navigation Surveillance/Air Traffic Management (CNS/ATM), Tactical Communications (TACCOM), Ground Proximity Warning System/Terrain Awareness Warning System (GPWS/TAWS II), Avionics Component Improvement Program (AvCIP), Avionics Architectures Team (AAT), Digital Interoperability (DI)/Marine Air Ground Task Force (MAGTF) Agile Networking Gateway Link (MANGL), Common Mission Computing and Displays (CMCD), Critical Avionics Reliability Program (CARP) and Naval Aviation Global Communication (NAGC). Participation in Human Factors Quality Management Board ensures Navy safety upgrades and mandatory safety improvements for naval aircraft.

**Named R-3 performers** (share of this project's FY2027 R-3 total, so they need not reach 100%)**:** Kranze (31.4, 23%), NAWCAD (25.1, 19%), Northrop Grumman (8.6, 6.5%), Boeing (2.6, 2.0%).

## Mission & acquisition strategy

This project provides for the identification, study, design, development, demonstration, test, evaluation, and qualification of standard avionics capabilities for Navy use, and wherever practicable, use across all Services and Foreign Military Sales. Such air combat electronics developments include communications and airborne networking, navigation and sensors, flight avionics, safety systems, and flight mission information systems for both forward fit and retrofit aircraft. These efforts continue to maintain federated systems while encouraging transition of procurements to support a modular system for enhanced performance and affordability.

Joint Services Review Committee for Avionics (JSRC-AS) activities involve collaboration with counterparts in other Services (Army, Air Force, Space Force, Coast Guard) to share awareness of technological advancements, Industry and Government solution maturation and Programmatic progress in order to leverage progress, benefit from investments and reduce time to achieving warfighting capability enhancements. Communication Navigation Surveillance/Air Traffic Management (CNS/ATM) program is a system of systems. The program will encompass the integration of various systems which will be procured utilizing existing contracts for integration on forward-fit and retrofit platforms to provide CNS/ATM functionality.
