B-1B
Abstract
This program provides RDT&E funding for the B-1B Conventional Mission Upgrade Program (CMUP). The CMUP program provides new and improved capabilities to the B-1B weapon system that require significant hardware and software development and testing. In addition, the CMUP program addresses reliability and diminishing manufacturing sources (DMS) deficiencies to prevent future grounding of aircraft. B-1B grounding items are addressed in the following efforts: Gyro Stabilization System (GSS), onboard diagnostics Central Integrated Test System (CITS) upgrade, Vertical Situation Display Upgrade (VSDU) to replace unsupportable pilot displays, Radar Reliability and Maintainability Improvement Program (RMIP), and Inertial Navigation System (INS) upgrade. B-1B improvement efforts include, but are not limited to, the development of the Fully Integrated Data Link (FIDL), ALQ-161A defensive system upgrades and a laptop controlled targeting pod (LCTP) capability. Also included is the development of an improved Threat Situational Awareness System (TSAS), and a Digital Communications Improvement (DCI) upgrade. FIDL integrates Link-16 and Beyond Line of Sight (BLOS) data links along with upgraded displays for improved connectivity to command and control authorities and for enhancements to targeting and weapons management. The ALQ-161A defensive system upgrades include the Preprocessor Avionics Control Unit (PACU) software re-host/development. The LCTP effort provides a limited targeting pod capability to meet emerging warfighter needs and a Digital Data Recorder (DDR) to support Non-Traditional Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (NTISR). Program includes Congressional Add funding for 16-Carry Adapter Weapons Initiative and the Smart Bomb Rack Upgrade (BRU). Upgrades to the B-1B training systems are included in CMUP to keep the training systems current with the aircraft configuration. In addition, program funds cover engineering/planning studies, related engineering efforts, and initiatives for future weapon system enhancements, including efforts to improve weapon system operational capabilities, safety, supportability, maintainability, reliability, and total ownership cost. All B-1B development programs support planned requirements for unique identification in their production phases. The B-1B CMUP upgrade program is included in Budget Activity (BA) 5, System Development and Demonstration.
