EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The Carrier Air Traffic Control Center Direct Altitude and Identity Readout (CATCC DAIR) and Amphibious Air Traffic Control Center Direct Altitude and Identity Readout (AATCC DAIR) systems are Air Traffic Control Identification systems that permit an Air Traffic Controller (AC) to obtain rapid positive identification and altitude data of transponder equipped aircraft and to track transponder or non-transponder equipped (via radar skin paint) aircraft. The systems are used on Aircraft Carriers, Helicopter Assault Landing (LHA), and Multi Purpose Amphibious Assault (LHD) ships.
CATCC DAIR and AATCC DAIR current system configurations will be replaced by the AN/TPX-42A(V)14 hardware system configuration. CATCC DAIR is currently an AN/TPX-42A(V)8 or AN/TPX-42A(V)13 hardware configured system. AATCC DAIR is currently an AN/TPX-42A(V)12 or AN/TPX-42A(V)13 hardware configured system. Software determines operational characteristics for the individual systems and is customized for the mission of each ship class.
Delivery of the AN/TPX-42(V)8 and AN/TPX-42A(V)13 CATCC DAIR system configuration has been completed. The AN/TPX-42(V)12 or AN/TPX-42A(V)13 AATCC DAIR systems have been installed on all LHDs and LHAs. The retrofitting of the AATCC DAIR and CATCC DAIR systems (through the use of AN/TPX-42A(V)14 field change kits) are projected to be completed by Fiscal Year (FY)07.
The installation of the AN/TPX-42A(V)14 will not change operator and maintainer requirements for current Aircraft Carrier, Aircraft Carrier, Nuclear, LHA, and LHD ship manpower. The operators of the AN/TPX-42A(V)14 are ACs with Navy Enlisted Classification (NEC) 6902 and 6903. Navy Electronics Technician (ET) personnel completing pipeline course C-103-2056 at Naval Air Technical Training Center (NATTC) Pensacola will be awarded NEC 15XX (awaiting approval), AN/TPX-42A(V)14 Shipboard DAIR Maintenance Technician. Technicians with NEC 1568 (AN/TPX-42A(V)13 Shipboard DAIR Maintenance Technician) and 1576 (CATCC DAIR Maintenance Technician) who receive delivery training at Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division (NAWCAD) St. Inigoes will have to submit a request for the award of NEC 15XX. Ships having the AN/TPX-42A(V)14 installed must update manpower documents to reflect the change to new NEC 15XX. ETs perform maintenance on the applicable configuration.
Initial training of the operators (AC) and maintainers (ET) on the CATCC DAIR and AATCC DAIR AN/TPX-42A(V)14 system configuration began in third quarter FY99 at the NAWCAD, St. Inigoes, Maryland. Follow-on training for CATCC DAIR and AATCC DAIR operators and maintainers for AN/TPX-42(V)8, (V)12, and (V)13 currently exist, and AN/TPX-42(V)14 training will begin in first quarter FY02, at NATTC Pensacola, Florida. Until NATTC Pensacola is on-line with the AN/TPX-42(V)14 training, NAWCAD St. Inigoes will conduct training for the operators, maintainers, and instructors.

D. SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
1. Operational Uses. The CATCC DAIR system software is for air traffic control aboard Aircraft Carrier (CV) and Multi-Purpose Aircraft Carrier, Nuclear (CVN) ships, and AATCC DAIR system software is designed for air traffic control aboard amphibious ships. Although the Identification Friend Foe (IFF) beacon is the primary means of establishing target detection and tracking, the CATCC DAIR and AATCC DAIR systems incorporate radar track processing as a backup. Through automation the system tracks aircraft (using beacon response), associating each with the proper identification data from the flight data stores list. As each aircraft leaves the controller's area of responsibility, its track is automatically handed off either to another Carrier Air Traffic Control Center (CATCC) or Amphibious Air Traffic Control Center (AATCC) control position, the Combat Direction Center (CDC), or Precision Approach Landing System (PALS), as appropriate. Additionally, the CATCC DAIR and AATCC DAIR systems accept ship's data such as speed, heading, position, clock time, and barometric pressure. It displays the data in tabular list form on the controllers' indicators. The final bearing is automatically computed and displayed as a vector on the indicators. CATCC and AATCC responsibility covers an area within a 50 nautical mile radius surrounding the ship.
AATCC DAIR has all the capabilities of CATCC DAIR described in the previous paragraph, with the exception of a PALS interface. In addition, AATCC DAIR also provides information such as Air Plan Lists, Mode 4 IFF capability, helicopter control points, and surface tracks. AATCC DAIR provides the dual capability of terminal control and amphibious assault missions. AN/TPX-42A(V)8, (V)12, and (V)13 CATCC DAIR and AATCC DAIR system configuration upgrades to the TPX-42A(V)14 system began in first quarter Fiscal Year (FY)99. Upgrade completion is expected in the FY07 timeframe.

E. DEVELOPMENTAL TEST AND OPERATIONAL TEST
1. AN/TPX-42A(V)8. AN/TPX-42A(V)8 CATCC DAIR system configuration successfully completed Operational Evaluation (OPEVAL) and Technical Evaluation onboard the United States Ship (USS) John F. Kennedy, and received Approval for Service Use during fourth quarter FY82.
2. AN/TPX-42A(V)12. The AN/TPX-42A(V)12 AATCC DAIR system configuration Engineering Development Model was delivered to Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division (NAWCAD), St. Inigoes, Maryland, in July 1988. Phase II testing was conducted at NAWCAD St. Inigoes from August 1988 to January 1990. Phase III shipboard testing was conducted aboard Multi-Purpose Amphibious Assault (LHD)-1 from November 1988 to January 1990. OT-II OPEVAL was conducted in April 1991. Approval for Full Rate Production was granted in February 1992.
3. AN/TPX-42A(V)13. The AN/TPX-42A(V)13 system configuration did not require OPEVAL. This was an upgrade of the AN/TPX-42A(V)8 and AN/TPX-42A(V)12. An engineering change proposal (ECP) was approved and funded by the Naval Air System Command (NAVAIRSYSCOM) and the Naval Sea System Command to replace the existing IFF and radar processors with state-of-the-art, open-architecture-based processors. The ECP greatly improved performance of target detection and tracking, allows continued logistics support for the system, and maintains the current CV and CVN designs. CVN 65, CVN 74, and LHD 5 were the first platforms to receive the AN/TPX-42A(V)13 system configuration.
4. AN/TPX-42A(V)14. The AN/TPX-42A(V)14 system configuration will not require OPEVAL. AN/TPX-42A(V)14 is an upgrade of AN/TPX-42A(V)8, AN/TPX-42A(V)12, and AN/TPX-42A(V)13 configurations of the system using Government Furnished Equipment (GFE) and Commercial Off-The-Shelf (COTS) hardware.
F. AIRCRAFT AND/OR EQUIPMENT/SYSTEM/SUBSYSTEM REPLACED

2. AATCC DAIR. Field Change Kits are in use to upgrade the AN/TPX-42A(V)12 and AN/TPX-42A(V)13 system configurations to the AN/TPX-42A(V)14 AATCC DAIR configuration. This is a retrofit to existing equipment and does not constitute a system replacement.
G. DESCRIPTION OF NEW DEVELOPMENT
1. Functional Description. The AN/TPX-42A(V)8, AN/TPX-42A(V)12, AN/TPX-42A(V)13, and AN/TPX-42A(V)14 configurations of the system are similar in function. The upgrades of the major components were intended to improve reliability and quality of the system.
a. AN/TPX-42A(V)14
(1) Data Processing Group OL-541
(a) CP-1716A Radar Target Data Processor. The CP-1716A Radar Target Data Processor detects AN/SPN-43 primary radar video signals, triggers, and azimuth data, and develops a single digital report for each operating aircraft within the range of the antenna scan. It then transfers the messages to the CP-1716 Track Processor. All operating controls, self-test controls, and indicators are located on the front panel of the equipment. The Radar Target Data Processor consists of 28 types of plug-in circuit cards and a power supply.
(b) CV-3477 Analog to Digital Converters. The CV-3477 Analog to Digital Converters accept single speed synchro voltage inputs and produce Azimuth Reference Pulses (ARP) and Azimuth Change Pulses (ACP). The four Analog to Digital Converters provide the ARP and ACP signals for two of four available radar systems and one of four IFF systems. The extra unit is in standby mode for the IFF Radar System.
(c) CP-2177 Video Signal Processor. The CP-2177 Video Signal Processor (VSP) generates target report messages once per antenna scan for each IFF transponder replying within the selected range. The target message is properly formatted and transmitted to the Signal Data Converter after the beam of the rotating antenna has passed each replying aircraft. Two VSPs are provided in the system for dual channel capability. Each unit consists of 32 types of plug-in circuit cards and a power supply. The OL-373 will be integrated into the same rack that replaces the OL-372 in the AN/TPX-42A(V)13 or AN/TPX-42A(V)14.

It consists of a front panel assembly, a switch assembly, and two circuit cards. One Interrogator Set Control on the supervisor console is being used in a typical system.
(f) WordSafe Maxima Video Recorder/Reproducer. The AN/TPX-42A(V)14 has two WordSafe multi-channel magnetic tape recorders connected to the equipment to record flight operations. The WordSafe has 16 channels dedicated to video data recording and 48 channels dedicated to voice recording. Time information is internally generated and does not require a dedicated channel. Information may be recorded by operating position or individual frequency. Use of two tape transports ensures uninterrupted recording capability.
(g) 625-G2520-2 Trackball. The Trackball is used to control a circular symbol across the face of the Cathode Ray Tube. Rolling the Trackball in a particular direction moves the circle in that direction. The faster the Trackball is moved, the faster the symbol moves. The Trackball is used for many tasks: designating a specific aircraft to the system, off-centering the display, moving tabular information, and specifying the location of geographic reference points. The position of the Trackball symbol is displayed numerically in the Trackball Position Readout.

3. New Development Introduction. The AN/TPX-42A(V)14 is a new procurement for LHA, LHD, CV, and CVN ships. New platforms will originally receive the AN/TPX-42A(V)14 system configuration. Existing AN/TPX-42A(V)8 and AN/TPX-42A(V)13 systems are being upgraded to the AN/TPX-42A(V)14 configuration through the use of field change kits. The four unique AN/TPX-42A(V)12 configurations will also be upgraded with AN/TPX-42A(V)14 kits.
4. Significant Interfaces. The AN/TPX-42A(V)14 operates in conjunction with several shipboard radar systems and requires trigger and azimuth data so the DAIR information can be superimposed on and correlated with the primary video. The system interfaces are listed below:
- AN/UPX-37 Digital Interrogator
- ACDS
- NTDS
- KCMX
- PALS
- AN/USQ-82(V) SDMS
- AN/SPN-43 series Radar System and alternate radar sources
- AN/UPX-23, AN/UPX-25, AN/UPX-27 IFF interrogators
- RD-379A/UNH Recorder-Reproducer and SG-1064/U Time Code Generator
- SB-1505, SB-4149, SB-4229 Radar Switchboards
5. New Features, Configurations, or Material. The AN/TPX-42A(V)14 is a retrofit procurement for LHA, LHD, CV, and CVN ships. Some of the improvements over the other configurations are:
- Improved IFF processor increases target capacities from 200 to more than 800 per scan
- Radar track processor with 200 tracks and scan capability in the 60-nm mode
- IFF and radar track correlation
- Sixty percent faster refresh rate on the indicators with 50 percent greater symbol and data display capacity
- Enhanced AN/UYK-44 computer with 68040 microprocessor based processing power
- Quick action key sequences
- Expanded ACDS interface
- Four versus three navigational sources
- Elimination of the old IFF Normal-Emergency switch and its restrictions
- Stiff stick replaced by a trackball
- Additional interface ports for expansion to CVNS, SYS-2, etc.
- Virtual elimination of "coasting" tracks through better processors and improved tracking software algorithms
- Improved hardware design for even better uptime and easier maintainability
- A track can be initiated and maintained on skin paint, IFF position data only, Mode 1, Mode C, Mode 3, and Mode 2, or any combination of the same.
H. CONCEPTS
1. Operational Concept. The CATCC DAIR and AATCC DAIR systems are Air Traffic Control systems in which an operator (or team of operators) control air traffic via the display devices. Operation includes gathering and assembling information for air traffic within a given area. AATCC DAIR system operators require Air Traffic Controllers (AC) with NEC 6903. The operators of the CATCC DAIR system require personnel in the AC rating with NEC 6902.
2. Maintenance Concept. The maintenance concepts for the AN/TPX-42(V)8, AN/TPX-42(V)12, AN/TPX-42(V)13, and AN/TPX-42(V)14 are based on two levels of maintenance, organizational and depot. No intermediate level maintenance is required.
a. Organizational. Per OPNAVINST 4790.4B, organizational level maintenance for AATCC DAIR and CATCC DAIR consists of using Built-In Test (BIT) to isolate faults, system operational checks, alignments, adjustments, and repairs. Repairs are made by isolating discrete chassis components, modules, or digital circuit cards, and replacing the failed items.
Those components not repairable at the organizational level are returned to the depot facility through the supply system for disposition per repairable turn-in procedures described in Naval Supply Systems Command (NAVSUP) Publication 485 and the Master Repairable List, NAVSUP Publication 4107-N. The organizational maintenance on AN/TPX-42(V)8, AN/TPX-42(V)12, AN/TPX-42(V)13 is performed by Electronic Technicians (ETs) with NEC 1568, also ETs with NEC 1576 perform maintenance on AN/TPX-42(V)8 only. The maintenance on AN/TPX-42(V)14 performed by ETs with NEC 15XX.
(1) Preventive Maintenance. Organizational level Preventive Maintenance (PM) in support of the AN/TPX-42(V)8, AN/TPX-42(V)12, AN/TPX-42(V)13, and AN/TPX-42(V)14 is accomplished per Maintenance Requirement Cards (MRCs) and maintenance instruction manuals prepared for the system. PM consists of inspection, cleaning, lubricating, pressurization checks, calibration, and operational checks.
(2) Corrective Maintenance. Organizational level Corrective Maintenance (CM) in support of the AN/TPX-42(V)8, AN/TPX-42(V)12, AN/TPX-42(V)13, and AN/TPX-42(V)14 consists of fault isolation of Weapon Replaceable Assemblies (WRAs) and Shop Replaceable Assemblies (SRAs) using BIT equipment and special purpose electronic test equipment. CM also includes removal and replacement of WRAs and SRAs, and operational test to verify repairs.
b. Intermediate. No intermediate maintenance is required to support the AN/TPX-42(V)8, AN/TPX-42(V)12, AN/TPX-42(V)13, and AN/TPX-42(V)14.
c. Depot. Depot level maintenance responsibilities include restoration of repairables which are beyond the organizational level capability including inspection, test, repair, modification, alteration, modernization, conversion, overhaul, reclamation, or rebuilding of parts, assemblies, subassemblies, components, and equipment to "like new" condition. Common DAIR items (common to the AN/TPX-42A(V)5 DAIR) will be repaired at the Sacramento Air Logistics Center, McClellan Air Force Base, California, under a joint task agreement. The contractor will repair all AATCC DAIR and CATCC DAIR unique items at the depot level until the proposed Material Support Date of March 2002.
d. Interim Maintenance. Mobile Technical Units are and will be providing technical assistance to the organizational level technicians. Engineering technical services are available through NAWCAD St. Inigoes on an on-call basis.
e. Life-Cycle Maintenance Plan. The AATCC DAIR and CATCC DAIR have no established Life-Cycle Maintenance Plan. The AATCC DAIR and CATCC DAIR are maintained through scheduled and unscheduled inspections until the components become unserviceable.
3. Manning Concept. The installation of the AN/TPX-42A(V)14 will not change operator or maintainer requirements for current CV, CVN, LHA, and LHD ship manpower. The operators of the AN/TPX-42A(V)14 are ACs with NEC 6902 and 6903. Navy Electronics Technician (ET) personnel completing pipeline course C-103-2056 at Naval Air Technical Training Center (NATTC) Pensacola will be awarded NEC 15XX (awaiting approval), AN/TPX-42A(V)14 Shipboard DAIR Maintenance Technician. Technicians with NEC 1568 (AN/TPX-42A(V)13 Shipboard DAIR Maintenance Technician) and 1576 (CATCC DAIR Maintenance Technician) who receive delivery training at NAWCAD St. Inigoes will have to submit a request for the award of NEC 15XX. Ships having the AN/TPX-42A(V)14 installed must update manpower documents to reflect the change to new NEC 15XX. ETs perform maintenance on the applicable configuration.
4. Training Concept. Initial operator (AC) and maintainer (ET) training on the AN/TPX-42A(V)14 configuration began in first quarter FY99 at NAWCAD St. Inigoes. Follow-on training for CATCC and AATCC operators and maintainers is being conducted on AN/TPX-42(V)8, AN/TPX-42(V)12, and AN/TPX-42(V)13 configurations at NATTC Pensacola. Follow-on training on the AN/TPX-42A(V)14 configuration will begin in FY02 at NATTC Pensacola, requiring a new course. Until NATTC Pensacola is on-line, NAWCAD St. Inigoes will conduct operator, maintainer, and instructor training. Technicians completing on-the-job training for AN/TPX-42(V)8 must submit a request for the awarding of NEC 1576 via chain of command since this NEC is no longer assigned as part of formal training.
a. Initial Training. Initial training for the AN/TPX-42A(V)8, 12, and 13 have been completed. Initial training for the AN/TPX-42A(V)14 has been developed and is being provided by NAWCAD St. Inigoes. This training, which began in first quarter FY99, consists of difference training. Initial training for the AN/TPX-42A(V)14 is ongoing and being conducted for each command during installation.
