MQ-9 UAV
Abstract
The basic MQ-9 Reaper system consists of the aircraft, sensors, Ground Control Station (GCS), communications equipment, weapon kits, support equipment, simulator and training devices, Readiness Spares Packages (RSP), technical data/training, and personnel required to operate, maintain, and sustain the system. The system is designed to be modular and open-ended. Mission-specific equipment is employed on specific aircraft and control station configurations to be tailored to fit mission needs. The MQ-9 Reaper system has four separate development programs. This PE includes: 1. MQ-9 Development and Fielding. This effort is for development and fielding of the baseline MQ-9 aircraft and GCSs and associated communications systems, sensors, payloads, simulators and support equipment as well as resolving Diminishing Manufacturing Sources (DMS) issues. 2. Squadron Operations Centers (SOC). This effort is for development and fielding of standardized operations centers containing the equipment necessary for remote split operation, to provide mission data and tasking information to the aircrew and disseminate and/or exchange mission data with decision-makers and the intelligence community. 3. MQ-9 Upgrade. This effort is to develop improvements for existing systems and to field new capabilities for the baseline MQ-9 fleet using an Agile Acquisition Strategy. 4. MQ-9 System Lifecycle Agile Modernization(SLAM). This effort is to develop improvements for existing systems and to field new capabilities for the baseline MQ-9 fleet using an Agile Acquisition Strategy. This program element may include necessary civilian pay expenses required to manage, execute, and deliver MQ-9 weapon system capabilities. The use of such program funds would be in addition to the civilian pay expenses budgeted in program elements 0605826F, 0605827F, 0605828F, 0605829F, 0605830F, 0605831F, 0605832F, and 0605898F. As directed in the FY 2018 NDAA, Sec 825, amendment to PL 114-92 FY 2016 NDAA, Sec 828 Penalty for Cost Overruns, the FY 2018 Air Force penalty total is $14.373M. The calculated percentage reduction to each research, development, test and evaluation and procurement account will be allocated proportionally from all programs, projects, or activities under such account. This program is in Budget Activity 7, Operational System Development because this budget activity includes development efforts to upgrade systems that have been fielded or have received approval for full rate production and anticipate production funding in the current or subsequent fiscal year.

- FY18 Base The total distributed to AFLCMC/WII was $178.840M. PRPC has a total of $184.353 which does not match. The delta is $5.513. This is documented in the Thrust labeled Other Rescissions in the R-2A for BPAC 675249. The remaining deltas are explained below. - $10.4M Reduction in FY18 Spending bill - "Release 3 excess to need" - $6.641M Small Business Innovation Rescission FY19 Base - $11M reduction in FY19 Spending Bill - "Program excess" FY20 Base - $10M reversal of Dismount Radar Integration (BMC2) - $15.614M reduced to fund Air Force priorities - $45.009M reduced to account for the availability of prior year execution balances
