Kennedy before leaving dry dock.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t<\/aside>\n\t\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cArresting aircraft at a high rate over a sustained period on the same wire is an aggressive test and shows the ability of the system to withstand extreme conditions,&#8221; he added. \u201cThe Ford has the capability for an even higher operational tempo than demonstrated at the test site because it has three wires and clears aircraft from the flight path more efficiently.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The system is identical to the one installed on Ford, the release said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The system is one of the many new technologies installed in the Ford class, and has been one of the most irksome for the Navy. The idea behind the advanced arresting gear and the electromagnetic launch system destined for Ford is to allow it to launch and recover more aircraft and put less strain on the aircraft than the old steam catapults on all other carriers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But the advanced arresting gear, or AAG, system has been dogged by reliability issues. In its report on Navy systems in 2017, the Defense Department\u2019s test and evaluation office said the program had yet to clear up an alarmingly high fault rate that raised questions about whether the Ford would ever be able to generate the promised higher sortie rate that is one of the reasons the program exists in the first place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the release, Forney said the company continues to work through reliability issues and will get a good opportunity to do so when Ford gets underway in 2020.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe look forward to CVN 78 getting back out to sea in early 2020 to conduct more robust flight operations,\u201d Forney said. \u201cWe anticipate executing significantly more sorties during this phase, utilizing both jet and prop aircraft. AAG works as intended, and we will continue to collaborate with the Navy to ensure system readiness and reliability to meet operational objectives.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>General Atomics put the advanced arresting gear through combat-like conditions this past October.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":32936,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_yoast_wpseo_meta-robots-noindex":"","_yoast_wpseo_meta-robots-nofollow":"","_yoast_wpseo_canonical":"","_acf":"","_yoast_wpseo_primary_category":16,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","_smg_distribution_targets":[]},"categories":[160,16,36],"tags":[],"coauthors":[3361],"class_list":["post-33435","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-daily-news-roundup","category-naval","category-newsletters"],"acf":{"subheadline":"","legacy_arc_id":"KOM5TCTRVVAO3B4MYKX4ZXV23E","arc_canonical_url":"\/naval\/2020\/01\/03\/the-carrier-fords-new-arresting-gear-gets-a-stress-test\/","remove_feature_photo":false,"is_sponsored":false,"subtype":"","redirect_url":"","disable_inline_ads":false,"native_logo_pretext":"Presented By:"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.0 (Yoast SEO v28.1) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>The aircraft carrier Ford\u2019s new arresting gear gets a stress test - Defense News<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"General Atomics put the advanced arresting gear through combat-like conditions this past October.\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"noindex, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"The aircraft carrier Ford\u2019s new arresting gear gets a stress test\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"General Atomics put the advanced arresting gear through combat-like conditions this past October.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/defensenews\/naval\/2020\/01\/03\/the-carrier-fords-new-arresting-gear-gets-a-stress-test\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Defense News\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2020-01-03T21:58:45+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2026-08-07T22:46:02+00:00\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"David B.
