Change Summary Explanation
Technical: Project Unit 0556 / EW COUNTER RESPONSE: Not Applicable Project Unit 1742 / EW TECHNICAL DEVELOPMENT & T&E: Not Applicable Project Unit 2175 / TACTICAL AIR ELECTRONIC WARFARE: IDECM Block 3: IOT&E found IB-3 effective, not suitable. Required VCD is underway. IDECM Block 4: The IB-4 acquisition and contract strategy includes development of the Common On-Board-Jammer for the F/A-18 C/DE/F aircraft through sole source contract awards for modifications to the ALQ-214. The common jammer must meet the requirements of the IB-2 On-board Jammer (OBJ) Operational Requirements Document (ORD) and the IDECM Radio Frequency Countermeasure (RFCM) Off-board Capabilities Production Document (CPD). Project Unit 2260 / SPECIFIC EMITTER ID: Not Applicable Project Unit 9999 / CONGRESSIONAL ADD: Not Applicable Schedule: Project Unit 0556 / EW COUNTER RESPONSE: A shortage in availability of test aircraft resulted in ICAP III schedule delays. Test aircraft availability was reduced from two aircraft to one during Block 4 testing causing delays to Block 4 as well as the subsequent Block 5 and 6 DT/OT. The DT and OT portions of the schedule have been divided into separate events to allow more flexibility and detail in scheduling. Project Unit 1742 / EW TECHNICAL DEVELOPMENT & T&E: Not Applicable Project Unit 2175 / TACTICAL AIR ELECTRONIC WARFARE: Integrated Defensive Electronic Countermeasures (IDECM) Block 2 (IB-2): IB-2 is in Full Rate Production (FRP). The IB-2 schedule has been changed to reflect the continuation of annual production contracts through FY 2011. IDECM Block 3 (IB-3): IB-3 Initial Operational Test & Evaluation (IOT&E) completed in September 2008 with a finding of effective, not suitable. The IB-3 schedule has been changed to reflect the impact of the reported deficiencies and required Verification of Correction to Deficiencies (VCD) Developmental and Operational testing scheduled to complete in September 2010. The start of the IB-3 Low Rate Initial Production (LRIP) 4 deliveries changed from 4th Qtr FY 2009 to 1st Qtr FY 2010 via contractual modification due to required failure analysis for reported deficiencies. The failure analysis affected the contractor's internal manufacturing plan and initial LRIP 4 deliveries. IDECM Block 4 (IB-4): IB-4 EMD Award has been changed to reflect the extended negotiation and definitization period. IB-4 EMD Award is planned for March 2010. Project Unit 2260 / SPECIFIC EMITTER ID: Not Applicable Project Unit 9999 / CONGRESSIONAL ADD: Not Applicable FY11 from previous President's Budget is shown as zero because no FY11-15 data was presented in President's Budget 2010.
