Dragon U-2
Abstract
The CIA established the Senior Year Program in 1955. The program has evolved to include the U-2 airframe, engines, sensors, cameras, recorders, data links life support systems, test facilities, and equipment. The U-2S model airframes were constructed in the late 1980s, with the last aircraft rolling off the assembly line in 1989. The U-2S provides global reconnaissance signals intelligence (SIGINT) and geospatial intelligence (GEOINT) 24 hours a day, seven days a week in support of national and DoD worldwide missions. The U-2 is currently deployed to forward operating locations (FOL) around the world. FY13 funding includes Lithium-Ion Battery, U-2 Sump Tank, U-2 Global Positioning System (GPS) Receiver, and Fuel conversion. FY14 funding includes Advanced Synthetic Aperature Radar System (ASARS) Next Generation, Generator Upgrade/Accessory Mounted Auxiliary Drive (AMAD), Avionics Processor/Airborne Recce Toolkit (ART) Analysis, Conformal Equipment Group, Airborne Signet Intelligence Payload (ASIP) Dual Pod Only and Inertial Navigation System (INS) Upgrade/GPS Tech Refresh. Activities also include, but are not limited to support both current program planning and execution, and future program planning. 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.
