EW Development

Abstract

This program element (PE) consolidates Air Force funding and management of common electronic warfare (EW) systems from material solutions analysis through engineering and manufacturing development and transition to operational capability. EW is an integral warfighting effect supporting AF Global Strike, Global Persistent Attack and Global Mobility operations as well as Joint-Coalition operations. EW systems influence, deceive, disrupt, degrade, deny, and destroy threats to air operations throughout the electromagnetic spectrum. This PE supports Electronic Support (ES), Electronic Protection (EP), and Electronic Attack (EA). ES programs support the collection, analysis, and dissemination of information related to the detection, geo-location, characterization, and identification of threats to air operations. EP Programs preserve the electromagnetic spectrum for use by friendly forces. EA programs provide self-protection through active and passive measures that deceive threats to air operations using kinetic and non-kinetic means to defeat threats that rely on the electromagnetic spectrum (RF, EO, IR). This program is in budget activity 5 - Engineering and Manufacturing Development of common EW systems to meet user requirements.

Change Summary Explanation
FY09: $9.2M added for MALD-J (Project 658462) FY09: $2.251M added for ALR-69A (Project 654832) FY10: $17M Congressional Reduction for MALD-J (Project 655305) The FY 2010 President's Budget submittal did not reflect FY 2011 through FY 2015 funding. Therefore, explanation of changes between the two budget positions cannot be made in a relevant manner.
