The US Navy (USN) is working toward adding Raytheon’s Joint Precision Approach and Landing System (JPALS) to its Bell Boeing CMV-22B Osprey.
Raytheon expects a request for information, followed by a request for proposal, for the capability in the near term, CJ Jaynes, the company’s executive technical adviser for JPALS, said on 2 August. The CMV-22B tiltrotor operates from the deck of the USN’s nuclear-powered aircraft carriers, a ship in which JPALS is already integrated.

The US Navy (USN) has declared initial operational capability (IOC) of Raytheon’s Joint Precision Approach and Landing System (JPALS) aboard nuclear aircraft carriers.
The declaration means the USN’s Lockheed Martin F-35Cs can use the GPS-based guidance system to land on carriers.
The USN declared the technology operational on 4 May, Naval Air Systems Command says on 18 May. The system was installed, integrated and flight-certificated aboard nuclear aircraft carrier USS Carl Vinson in December 2020.
