A. (U) MISSION DESCRIPTION AND BUDGET ITEM JUSTIFICATION: S0354, RDT&E Ships Support. This project provides for operation and maintenance of platforms used as Sea Based Test Sites in support of the Navy Research, Development, Test, and Evaluation (RDT&E) program. These are the USS DOLPHIN (AGSS-555) and the Floating Instrumentation Platform (FLIP). Ex-USS DECATUR (DDG-31) is being supported by this line as the Self-Defense Test Ship (SDTS). Testing aboard these platforms reduces the number of fleet units required to support RDT&E efforts. In the case of the SDTS, it provides the capability of testing self-defense weapons systems to within their minimum ranges. A major cost of this project is regularly scheduled ship maintenance. The USS DOLPHIN (AGSS-555) is beginning a phased maintenance program. The remainder of the funds are used for purchase of supplies and equipment, fuel and petroleum products, repairs, and supporting modifications. Most costs are fixed and are associated with simply having these platforms in the inventory. A lesser portion of the costs varies with the tempo and type of ship operations and provides for systems improvements and replacement planning. The nature of the operation is determined by the overall Navy/DOD R&D testing program.
(U) USS DOLPHIN will support live fire lethality testing and system operability testing of the MK 50, MK 46, and MK 48 ADCAP torpedoes. In addition, the SEAWOLF Material Qualification Program, Surface Ship Torpedo Defense, and the Advanced Sea/Air/Land (SEAL) Delivery Program Mobile Inshore Warfare Unit Arrays and the Sea-based Weapons and Tactics School (SWATS) are supported by USS DOLPHIN.
(U) The current and projected Anti-Ship Cruise Missile (ASCM) threats require self-defense weapons systems capable of adequately countering ASCMs into the year 2000 and beyond. The National Defense Authorization Act for FY 87, section 910, "Testing of Certain Weapons Systems and Munitions," requires live-fire lethality testing of manned weapons systems. Operational and safety constraints limit realistic live-fire lethality testing with U.S. Navy ships and thus drive the requirement for having an afloat, unmanned, remotely controlled SDTS. EX-USS DECATUR has been converted to the SDTS. SDTS plans call for testing Close-In-Weapons System (CIWS), North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) Sea Sparrow Missile System (NSSMS), Ship Self-Defense System (SSDS), Rolling Airframe Missile (RAM), SLQ-32(V3), and future short range Anti-Air Warfare systems against realistic threat presentation in an at-sea environment.

A. (U) MISSION DESCRIPTION AND BUDGET ITEM JUSTIFICATION: RDT&E Aircraft Support. This continuing project funds costs associated with Navy Research, Development, Test and Evaluation (RDT&E) fixed and rotary wing aircraft which accommodate test and evaluation of aircraft/weapon systems. Testing aboard these platforms reduces the number of fleet units required to support RDT&E efforts. Included in these costs are Aviation Depot-Level Repairables (AVDLRs), which are spare and replacement aircraft parts and components. Starting in FY 1998, AVDLR costs have been reclassified as direct (customer-funded) costs, and a portion of the AVDLR funding to support customer programs has been redistributed to customers. The remainder of AVDLR funding has been retained in the account to support overhead (proficiency and training) flight hours, as well as residual project flying. This project also funds airframe Standard Depot Level Maintenance (SDLM), in-service repairs, modifications, emergency repairs, and engine repair, as well as aircraft material condition and field inspections. Additionally, it funds Individual Material Readiness List (IMRL) tools and support equipment, modification of in-service aircraft, and other systems for application to and compatibility with RDT&E requirements. Special Flight Test Instrumentation Pool (SFTIP) equipment, shared by programs to reduce or eliminate procurement lead times and save money, is also supported. The project also funds modifications and upgrades of RDT&E P3 engines, landing gear, and avionics. Operation and implementation of numerous maintenance and material management programs are also supported.
(U) PROGRAM ACCOMPLISHMENTS AND PLANS:
1. (U) FY 1996 ACCOMPLISHMENTS:
XXI. (U) ($37,310) The following programs were minimally supported: SDLM, AVDLR, IMRL, engine, and in-service repair support and modifications of aircraft in the RDT&E inventory. All efforts were made to maintain RDT&E aircraft readiness levels in order to support highest priority project workload. Operation and implementation of maintenance and material management programs at Naval Air Warfare Center activities continued.
