F/A-18 Squadrons
Abstract
The F/A-18 is required to perform multiple missions. Capabilities of the F/A-18 weapon system and ancillary equipment can be upgraded to accommodate and incorporate new or enhanced weapons as well as advances in technology to respond effectively to emerging future threats. Continued F/A-18 E/F and EA-18G "Flight Plan" spiral capability development is critical to the baseline of the Super Hornet next generation mission system capability and maintaining tactical relevance in support of Navy Aviation Plan 2030. Development continues for a platform solution to threat Advanced Electronic Attack and Counter-Electronic Attack (CEA). F/A-18 solutions to CEA include upgrades to existing sensors such as F/A-18 Radar Upgrade, Infrared Search and Track Block I, and development of a fused picture between these sensors, such as Multi-Sensor Integration Phase III. Additionally, continued advanced development engineering for improvements in reliability and maintainability are required to ensure maximum benefit is achieved through reduced cost of ownership and to provide enhanced availability.

- Change Summary Explanation
- Technical: 1662: Not Applicable 2065: Not Applicable Schedule: 1662: Automatic Ground Collision Avoidance System/Automated Terrain Avoidance and Warning System will be a new start development effort in FY 2012. Multi-Sensor Integration Phase III focuses on software and sensor upgrades and Counter-Electronic Attack (CEA) sensor integration with funded efforts beginning in FY2013. 2065: Schedule adjustments to this program are a result of production enhancement related to the Anti-Tamper configuration of APG-79 Radar System. The monopulse study is an effort to determine the root cause and resolution alternatives for APG-79 tracking errors. Instrumentation development is an effort to redesign/replace obsolete APG-79 test instrumentation. CEA #1 is a development, integration, and test effort to correct APG-79 deficiencies in countering Electronic Attack threats. Target Location Error (TLE) development is an effort to determine and characterize APG-73 TLEs. Aircraft Combat Maneuvering mode development is an effort that will determine the root causes and potential solutions for APG-79 short-range tracking issues.
