1. Introduction:

The Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIRSYSCOM), hereafter referred to as NAVAIR, tasks the Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division (NAWCAD) Competency Aligned Organization

(CAO) Code 4.8.6.11, the Support Equipment Test and Evaluation Branch, to support the

Integrated Product Teams (IPTs), perform testing, systems engineering, analysis, development integration, modification/repair of end items and components, and fleet introduction support of aviation Common Support Equipment (CSE)/Peculiar Support Equipment (PSE) in support of

NAVAIR weapon systems. This includes test and evaluation, end item/component modification and repair, Fleet Evaluations (FLEETEVAL), and In-Service Engineering (ISE) support of

CSE/PSE from concept development through fielding and is applied to all NAVAIR (Fixed

Wing, Tactical, Tilt Rotor, Rotary, Maritime, UAV, Targets, and Training Systems), and advanced weapons and support systems. This responsibility is applicable throughout the full acquisition process and life cycle of a program. In order to provide this support, a diverse staff with specific in-depth knowledge and experience in leading edge technology is required.

1.1 Background:

The Support Equipment (SE) Test and Evaluation Branch (4.8.6.11) conducts Test and

Evaluation (T&E) Verification/Validation of SE and provides SE Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) and Integrated Product Team (IPT) T&E representatives that are used to support aircraft, systems, weapons, air-ship integration, and maintenance activities. The branch functions within the NAWCAD CAO under the auspices of the 4.0 Research and Engineering Competency, SE and Aircraft Launch & Recovery Equipment (ALRE) Department, and the Support Equipment

Engineering Division. The branch works in conjunction with IPTs, Externally Directed Teams

(EDTs), Enterprise Teams (ETs), and Integrated Test Teams (ITTs) that are involved in all

NAVAIR Programs. The SE commodities associated with these programs include:

- Avionics SE: This area covers organizational, intermediate and depot maintenance level

CSE/PSE for avionics, including Communication, Navigation and Identification (CNI), Early Warning Electronic Warfare (EW), Electro-Optics, Radar, Weapons Control; Data

Processing; Electro-Mechanical and Instrumentation Systems.

- Automatic Test Equipment (ATE)/Test Program Set (TPS): This area covers ATE and associated TPS such as those for the AN/USM-636(V), Consolidate Automated Support

Systems (CASS) AN/USM-702(V) Reconfigurable Transportable CASS (RTCASS), electronic CASS (eCASS), and advanced Synthetic Instrumentation (SI) technology.

- Propulsion SE: This area covers SE related to all aircraft propulsion systems, including primary and secondary power systems, Gas Turbine Compressor (GTC) systems, mobile and fixed engine test facilities such as the Jet Engine Test Instrument (JETI), Shaft

Engine Test Instrumentation (SETI), Turbo-Prop Test Instrumentation (TPTI) and gas turbine engine test cells.

- Aircraft Handling, Servicing, and Inspection (HSI) SE: This area covers all CSE/PSE required to maintain and service aircraft structures, hydraulics, fuel systems, pneumatics, cryogenics, electrical systems, environmental control systems, crew systems, handling systems and inspection systems.

- Aircraft Armament Handling SE: This area covers all armament/weapons handling SE including transporters, loading/downloading equipment, and towing and assembly equipment.

In accomplishing their mission, NAWCAD 4.8.6.11 conducts SE testing and participates in systems engineering, analysis, development, integration, fleet introduction, and in-service engineering evolutions. This normally entails providing support during developer/manufacture reviews and testing events and conducting test and evaluation and FLEETEVAL at NAS

Patuxent River and Navy/Marine shipboard and shore-based sites. In addition, NAWCAD

4.8.6.11 performs modification and repair of SE end items and components in support of its test and evaluation functions, Sponsor/IPT acquisition, and life cycle sustainment. To accomplish this mission, NAWCAD 4.8.6.11 utilizes multiple laboratories and facilities that include:

- Support Equipment Mechanical, Electrical, Hydraulic, Avionics, and ATE Laboratories:

Contains various machine shop equipment and tools, aircraft servicing equipment, test assets, simulators, hydraulic lifts, overhead cranes, forklift trucks, avionics systems, and electronic test equipment.

- Open Air Engine Test Facility: Contains fixed and mobile Engine Test Systems, gas turbine test cells, Engine Adapter Assemblies (EAA), and propulsion system test support items.

- T-10 Test Cell Facility: Contains an A/E32T-l0B JETI Land Based Engine Test Facility.

1.2 Scope:

In completing sponsor assigned tasking, NAWCAD 4.8.6.11 performs numerous functions across many technical areas. The technical areas include, but are not limited to, SE and Test

Technology design and integration, T&E Verification/Validation, laboratories and facilities operations and maintenance, IPT engineering and technical assistance, modification/repair of SE end items/components, and management and administrative support. To provide support in these diverse areas, the SE Test and Evaluation Branch complements the Government workforce with the services of highly qualified and experienced engineering, technical, administrative, and program management Contractor Support Services. The multi-disciplined skills of these personnel are integrated and shared across multiple SE support areas, laboratories, and facilities;

thus realizing efficiency and continuity among inter-related tasks. Through these coordinated efforts, NAWCAD 4.8.6.11, program sponsors and the Fleet are assured state of-the-art SE that is compatible with legacy and next-generation aircraft, weapons, and systems.
