Airborne SIGINT Enterprise (JMIP)
Abstract
(U) This PE provides signals intelligence (SIGINT) development efforts for all USAF airborne platforms. The funds in this PE are distributed among all Airborne SIGINT Enterprise (ASE) projects based on the development priorities established by the USAF SIGINT Capabilities Working Group (SCWG) in order to build a total SIGINT capability. As a result, the USAF will move funds between projects periodically to develop the highest priority projects in response to urgent warfighter needs. This PE will participate in the development, integration, testing, and implementation of international standards (to include NATO standardization agreements) to ensure joint, allied, and coalition interoperability. Modernization efforts include sensors for the platforms and their appropriate interfaces with the Air Force Distributed Common Ground System (AF DCGS). This approach will allow a synergistic development effort to be accomplished while developing a true Air Force-wide capability. This enterprise will use the Air Force Cryptologic Architecture (AFCA) for planning and decision-making and, in turn, employ the Joint Airborne SIGINT Architecture (JASA) open architecture standards to allow maximum ease of future upgrades and system interoperability. The primary goal of the ASE is to produce an architecture-based, capability-focused SIGINT investment strategy for the USAF. (U) Funds in any project may be used to fund initiatives in other projects within this PE at the discretion of the SCWG. (U) Funds in any project can also cover activities to include studies and analysis to support both current program planning and execution and future program planning. (U) This program is Budget Activity 7, Operational Systems Development, because it involves the development of SIGINT capabilities and integration with operational systems such as the RC-135, U-2, MQ-1/MQ-9, RQ-4, Special Programs (Senior Scout, Liberty Project Aircraft, NCCT SIGINT activities, Small UAS, and others as required), their associated ground stations and data links, and Compass Bright programs.
