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 (the phases of Multi-Sensor Integration are being rolled up under the title of Multi-System Integration in FY15, programmatic name change only). 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. JUSTIFICATION FOR BUDGET ACTIVITY: This program is funded under OPERATIONAL SYSTEMS DEVELOPMENT because it includes development efforts to upgrade systems that have been fielded or have received approval for full rate production and anticipate funding in the current or subsequent fiscal year.

- Change Summary Explanation
- The FY 2016 funding request was reduced by $5.442 million to account for the availability of prior year execution balances. Technical: 1662: Not Applicable 2065: Not Applicable Schedule: 1662: The System Configuration Set (SCS) schedule has had multiple changes due to issues discovered during developmental and operational test requiring additional development time. Schedule changes affect the software development efforts for the Infra-Red Search and Track (IRST), Sensor Integration, Multi-Sensor Integration (MSI) Phase II, MSI Phase III. Some specific changes include the IRST Milestone C review to 1st quarter FY2015, IOC moved to 3rd quarter of FY2018, and Full Rate Production (FRP) moved to 3rd quarter FY2017. 2065: The SCS schedule has had multiple changes due to issues discovered during developmental and operational test requiring additional development time. Schedule changes affect the software efforts for RADAR.
