Next Generation Air Dominance

Abstract

Next Generation Air Dominance (NGAD) is a family of capabilities enabling Air Superiority for the Joint Force in the most challenging operational environments. The program matures technology and reduces risk through prototyping activities and demonstration efforts. Key NGAD attributes include enhancements in survivability, lethality, and persistence across a range of military operations. The NGAD program is directed by Joint Requirements Oversight Council Memorandum (JROCM) 043-13 and CSAF approved Air Superiority Enterprise Capability Collaboration Team (ECCT) Flight Plan. Program activities will also include the pursuit of open architecture solutions including Open Mission Standards (OMS) and Universal Control Interface (UCI) standards management and preplanned product improvements. Funding provides program management support, operational concept exploration, technology studies, multi-domain integration assessments, operational and system architecture development, maturation and risk reduction of air superiority related technologies, including weapons systems and integrated system concept development and demonstration. This program element may include necessary civilian pay expenses required to manage, execute, and deliver NGAD weapon system capability. The use of such program funds would be in addition to the civilian pay expenses budgeted in program element 0605831F. NGAD civilian pay is executed in PE 020711F. This effort is in Budget Activity 4, Advanced Component Development and Prototypes (ACD&P), because efforts are necessary to evaluate integrated technologies, representative modes or prototype systems in a high fidelity and realistic operating environment.
