EMALS Production - CVN 80 ECP-I-EMALS-0022 / 0042R4 Half Bridge & Braking Chopper Gen 3 IGBT Obsolescence

This forecast from the Department of the Navy, specifically under Peo T, involves the incorporation of Engineering Change Proposals ECP-I-EMALS-0022 and ECP-I-EMALS-0042R4 into the hardware for CVN 80. The primary objective of the contract is to address the obsolescence of Gen 3 IGBTs within the Half Bridge and Braking Chopper components of the Electromagnetic Aircraft Launch System. The project falls under NAICS code 336413 for Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing and is slated for performance in Pax River, Maryland. This effort ensures that the CVN 80 maintains operational readiness by updating critical electronic components to current technological standards.
