(U)F/A-18 Infrared Search and TRack (IRST)
Abstract
The F/A-18 E/F Infra-Red Search and Track (IRST) system is a passive long-wave Infra-Red (IR) sensor that provides an alternate fire control system in a high Electronic Attack (EA) / Radio Detection and Ranging (RADAR) denied environment. The IRST Block II Engineering Change Proposal (ECP) upgrades two Weapons Replaceable Assemblies (WRAs); the Infra-Red Receiver (IRR) and processor in order to provide full Capabilities Development Document (CDD) capability and enhanced warfighting capability through an improved engagement timeline, improved situational awareness, longer range passive detection and tracking, and a larger field of regard with specification performance. IRST was previously completed under Program Element 0204136N F/A-18 Squadrons and has been transferred to Program Element 0604014N F/A-18 Infrared Search and Track (IRST).

- The FY 2020 funding request was reduced by $10.000 million to account for the availability of prior year execution balances. Technical: Not applicable. Schedule: The schedule has been updated to reflect program execution status. The FY 2020 budget has a net increase of $4.8 million. This is due to increase to flight testing and support of fly-fix-fly testing of final software builds effecting data analysis. After achieving Block II ECP Milestone C on 4 December 2018, $3.0 million was added via tech correction to support Block II risk reduction activities. Additional flight tests will be conducted for sensor tuning and integrated developmental/operational flight test.
