C-STOL AIRCRAFT
Abstract
The Light Mobility Aircraft (LiMA) program will fill an Air Force light mobility gap by acquiring Commercial-Off-The-Shelf (COTS) aircraft, which are also suitable for building partner capacity (BPC) especially in lesser developed partner nations (PN). Suitable aircraft may be single or multi-engine, fixed-wing and capable of operating from austere, unprepared surfaces. This program supports irregular warfare efforts that help prepare partner nations to defend and govern themselves by demonstrating an airlift capability that is consistent with their needs for supporting infrastructure, performance, anticipated methods of employment, acquisition and sustainment costs, and multi-role/multi-mission capability. FY2011 RDT&E funding will be used for missionization and integration of non-standard components (e.g., High Frequency (HF) communications equipment) as well as key development planning efforts and products such as systems engineering strategy and analysis, risk analysis and management, test and evaluation strategy, life cycle cost estimates, sustainment and logistics analysis, and acquisition planning and analysis. This is a FY2011 new start. This effort supports a non-developmental system and therefore is assigned to Budget Activity 7, Operational Systems Development.
