A. (U) MISSION DESCRIPTION AND BUDGET ITEM JUSTIFICATION: This program element (PE) demonstrates concepts for future air platforms and surface/air weapons employed in Naval Warfare. The demonstrated concepts support the Joint Warfare Strategy "Forward...from the Sea" and relate to the Joint Mission Areas of Joint Strike, Joint Littoral Warfare, and Joint Intelligence Surveillance and Reconnaissance. Projects in this PE are jointly planned in the Reliance process with the Air Force and Army through panels of the Joint Directors of Laboratories.
(U) Joint Strike technology issues relevant to this PE include surgical lethality, platform survivability and affordability and increased Naval gunfire range and accuracy. Littoral Warfare technology issues relevant to this PE include air battlespace dominance, expeditionary forces air support, ship self-defense and increased Naval gunfire range and accuracy. Joint Intelligence Surveillance and Reconnaissance technology issues relevant to this PE include platform mission endurance and survivability. Six projects are contained in the PE:
(U) Maritime Avionics Subsystems an Technology (MAST): A FY 95 short term new start, multi-faceted program maturing integrated modular avionics concepts and coordinated endeavors towards common avionics. Focused on scaleable, open, fault tolerant and common avionics architecture along with multifunction sensors and subsystems. Program thrusts addressed either Navy-specific applications or technological areas where the Tri-Services have agreed on a Navy lead.
(U) Weapons Advanced Technology: Demonstrates emerging sub-system/component level weapons concepts identified in PE 0602111N which promise affordable and significant performance improvements to both existing and next generation Naval air and surface launched weapons.
(U) Integrated High Performance Turbine Engine Technology (IHPTET): Provides experimental engine testing of new gas turbine engine technologies to demonstrate readiness and reduce technical risk for entering engineering development. IHPTET is a tri-service program in which each service contributes established shares of 6.2 and 6.3 funding and laboratory resources to meet specified goals of doubling thrust-to-weight ratio, halving fuel consumption by the year 2003 (relative to a 1987 baseline) and reducing acquisition and maintenance costs. Additional emphasis has been incorporated to address High Cycle Fatigue issues which may be associated with propulsion system design system deficiencies.
(U) Air Systems Affordability: A FY 1997 new start, multi-faceted phased program to focus on improving the affordability of future major acquisition programs. This project will focus affordability research to support the delivered accuracy of future stand-off weapons.
(U) Rapid Response Technologies: A FY 1996, Congressionally directed increase geared to making emerging technologies more readily available to the fleet.
(U) AARGM: A Congressionally mandated program that will demonstrate advanced missile/seeker technologies to support the delivered accuracy of future stand-off weapons.
(U) The Navy S&T program includes projects that focus on or have attributes that enhance the affordability of warfighting systems.
(U) JUSTIFICATION FOR BUDGET ACTIVITY: This program is budgeted within the ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY DEVELOPMENT Budget Activity because it encompasses design, development, simulation, experimental testing or prototype hardware. It is also necessary to validate technological feasibility and concept of operations to reduce technological risk prior to initiation of a new acquisition program or transition to an ongoing acquisition program.

A. (U) MISSION DESCRIPTION AND BUDGET ITEM JUSTIFICATION: This project covers the Navy's share of the demonstrator engine efforts under IHPTET, ensuring that Navy unique design and operational requirements are met. Full scale integrated technology demonstration is essential to validate and transition technologies from applied research through advanced development and into system demonstration/validation, engineering and manufacturing development or product lines. Without technology demonstrators, system acquisition cost/schedule risk would have an unacceptably higher level or programs would have to settle for less operational capability. The lack of technology demonstrator efforts could result in system development schedule increases of five or more years along with the associated increase in cost. A strong and viable U.S. propulsion program also provides a dual-use benefit to our country by enhancing our competitiveness in the international commercial engine market. This long term project coordinated through Reliance, will provide for the future needs in air battlespace dominance and expeditionary forces support (Littoral Joint Mission Area (JMA)), increased platform mission endurance (Joint Surveillance JMA) and provide technology for increased affordability and platform survivability and increased mission effectiveness (Strike JMA). The program funds three demonstrator engine classes. Each engine class has specific performance goals that are divided into three phases with the ultimate goal of doubling propulsion capability by the year 2003. Additional goals are currently being developed to address future concepts beyond Phase III. Phase I has been completed and demonstrated for each of the three classes of demonstrators. The phase goals of each engine class are listed as follows and are referenced to a 1987 baseline (additional affordability goals have been developed for fighter/attack and turboprop/shaft classes):
(U) Fighter/attack (Joint Technology Demonstrator Engine (JTDE)):
(U) Phase I - 1993: +30% thrust/weight (Fn/Wt), +100 OF combustor inlet temperature (CIT), +300 OF turbine inlet
temperature (TIT), -20% fuel burn.
(U) Phase II - 1997: +60% Fn/Wt, +200 OF CIT, +600 OF TIT, -20% acquisition cost, -20% maintenance cost, -30% fuel burn.
(U) Phase III - 2003: +100% Fn/Wt, +400OF CIT, +900OF TIT, -35% acquisition cost, -35% maintenance cost, -40% fuel burn.
(U) Turboprop/shaft (Joint Turbine Advanced Gas Generator (JTAGG)):
(U) Phase I - 1993: +40% shaft horsepower/weight (SHP/Wt), -20% specific fuel consumption (SFC), +300 OF TIT.
(U) Phase II - 1997: +80% SHP/Wt, -30% SFC, +600 OF TIT, -20% acquisition cost, -20% maintenance cost.
(U) Phase III - 2003: +120% SHP/Wt, -40% SFC, +1000 OF TIT, -35% acquisition cost, -35% maintenance cost.
(U) Missile/expendable engines (Joint Expendable Turbine Engine Concepts (JETEC)):
(U) Phase I - 1991: +35% thrust/airflow (Fn/Wa), -20% SFC, +1100 OF CIT, +500 OF TIT, -30% Cost.
(U) Phase II - 1997: +70% Fn/Wt, -30% SFC, +1200 OF CIT, +900 OF TIT, -45% Cost.
(U) Phase III - 2003: +100% Fn/Wa. -40% SFC, +1400 OF CIT, +1400 OF TIT, -60% Cost.
(U) Phase III - 2003: +100% Fn/Wa, -40% SFC, +1400 OF CIT, +1400 OF TIT, -60% Cost.
(U) Each engine company utilizes at least two engine builds or demonstrator tests within each Phase to demonstrate the performance goals. The JETEC Phase II goals are divided into demonstrating SFC and Cost for a subsonic demonstrator and Fn/Wa, CIT, TIT and Cost for a supersonic demonstrator.

B. (U) PROGRAM CHANGE SUMMARY:
FY 1996 FY 1997 FY 1998 FY 1999
(U) FY 1997 President's Budget: 7,427 7,380 7,681 7,808
(U) Adjustments from FY 1997 PRESBUDG -1,165 -301 -43 -73
(U) FY 1998/1999 PRESBUDG Submission: 6,262 7,079 7,638 7,735
(U) CHANGE SUMMARY EXPLANATION:
(U) Funding: FY 1996 adjustments reflect a Jordanian F-16 financing rescission (-9); SBIR Transfer reduction (-156) and a reduction in requirements to fund the higher priority Navy requirements on the FY 1996 DoD Omnibus Reduction (-1,000). FY 1997 adjustments reflect Congressional undistributed reductions (-301). FY 1998 adjustments reflect a Navy Working Capital Fund (NWCF) and minor rate adjustments (-24); and Inflation reduction (-19). FY 1999 adjustments reflect a NWCF and minor rate adjustment (-44); and Inflation reduction (-29).
(U) Schedule: Delays due to materials and testing failures will move the IHPTET Phase II & III program milestones out approximately three months. Prior budget (FY 1995 and FY 1996) actions are now causing further schedule slips of six months or more in the demonstration of Phase II goals. This funding shortfall may also cause the delay of the Phase III design and component development and slip the Phase III demonstration date. Funding has become the primary driver in the Phase II and Phase III demonstration schedule.
(U) Technical: Major technical problems associated with materials and hardware failures have largely been overcome. Funding shortfalls will result in loss of key technical personnel momentum.
