F/A-18 Squadrons
Abstract
Decrease in F/A-18 SQUADRONS by $8.098M as required for the Department of the Navy to comply with the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2015. 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/II, and development of a fused picture between these sensors. 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. Infrared Search and Track (IRST) is not a new start program. Work was previously completed under project unit 1662 and has been moved to project unit 2069 in FY17. Congressional adds are for support of Dual Mode Brimstone and an engine noise reduction study. 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.
