Electronic Warfare (EW) Dev

Abstract

This program element includes development of Electronic Warfare (EW) systems for the United States Navy (USN), United States Marine Corps (USMC), and United States Army tactical aircraft, USMC helicopters, surface combatants, data link vulnerability assessments, precision targeting, USN and USMC radio frequency jammers, and development and testing of electronic warfare devices for emerging threats and emergency contingencies. This element also includes development of Aircraft Survivability Equipment (ASE) and Electronic Warfare (EW)/countermeasures solutions for the USN, USMC and Coalition Aircraft to include studies and evaluations of current and future aircraft threats, modeling and simulation for improved countermeasure capabilities, and development and testing to address new and emerging threats. This program is funded under SYSTEM DEVELOPMENT AND DEMONSTRATION because it includes those projects that have passed Milestone B approval and are conducting engineering and manufacturing development tasks aimed at meeting validated requirement prior to full-rate production decision. PE 0604279N and PE 0604376M consolidated to PE 0604270N beginning in FY 2017.

Change Summary Explanation
Technical: Not Applicable. Schedule: Project Unit 0556 / EW COUNTER RESPONSE: N/A Project Unit 1742 / EW Technical Development and T&E: N/A Project Unit 2175 / Tactical Air Electronic Warfare: Software Improvement (SWIP) Initial Operational Capability (IOC) completion changed from 4th Qtr. FY 2017 to 2nd Qtr. FY 2018 due to delays in software maturation and progression. SWIP Developmental Testing/Integrated Testing DT/IT completion changed from 4th Qtr. FY 2016 to 2nd Qtr. FY 2017 due to delays in software maturation and progression. Project Unit 3308 / Technology Development: N/A Project Unit 3309 / Assault Survivability Optimization: FY 2017 flight test changed from 2nd/3rd Qtr to 3rd/4th Qtr due to aircraft and test range availability. FY17 Test MDF changed from 2nd Qtr to 3rd Qtr to align with flight test. Project Unit 3327 / MAGTF EW Aviation Development: Intrepid Tiger II (AN/ALQ-231) BLK X radar jammer schedule adjusted to reflect late receipt of Science and Technology (S&T) funding in FY 2016 and impact of Congressional Mark on S&T funding. AN/ALQ-231(V)1 BLK X In-Progress Review (IPR) renamed to AN/ALQ-231(V)1 BLK X Functional Configuration Audit / System Verification Review (FCA/SVR) and re-aligned from 3rd Qtr. FY 2018 to 1st Qtr. FY 2019. AN/ALQ-231(V)1 BLK X Technical Directive Fleet Release (TD Flt Rel) moved from 2nd Qtr. FY 2019 to 2nd Qtr. FY 2020. AN/ALQ-231 BLK X Hardware Development end date changed from 4th Qtr. FY 2021 to 2nd Qtr. FY 2020. AN/ALQ-231(V)1 BLK X Software Development (SW Dev) start moved from 1st Qtr. FY 2017 to 3rd Qtr. FY 2017 and completion moved from 4nd Qtr. FY 2017 to 2nd Qtr. FY 2019 to reflect impact of effort remaining unfunded in FY 2016. AN/ALQ-231(V)1 BLK X Development Test/Performance Test (DT/Performance Test) start date was realigned from 2nd Qtr. FY 2017 to 3rd Qtr. FY 2018 with the completion date sliding from 2nd Qtr. FY 2018 to 1st Qtr. FY 2019. AN/ALQ-231(V)1 BLK X Initial Operational Test & Evaluation (IOT&E) was renamed to AN/ALQ-231(V)1 BLK X Operational Test & Evaluation (OT&E) and the start date slid from 4th Qtr. FY18 to 2nd Qtr. FY 2019 and the completion date slid from 1st Qtr. FY 2019 to 4th Qtr. FY 2019. AN/ALQ-231(V)1 BLK X Lot 1 delivery start date moved from 4th Qtr. FY 2019 to 4th Qtr. FY 2021 and end date moved from 3rd Qtr. FY 2020 to 3rd Qtr. FY 2022. AN/ALQ-231(V)1 BLK X Lot 2 delivery start date moved from 4th Qtr. FY 2020 to 4th Qtr. FY 2022. Schedules and projects adjusted including AN/ALQ-231(V)3 UH-1 Jettison Capability, Electronic Warfare Services Architecture (EWSA), Marine Air Ground Tablet (MAGTAB) Integration with AN/ALQ-231(V), MAGTF EW Jammer Techniques Development, KC-130 Integration for AN/ALQ-231(V)1 Block 1 Communications Jammer, and Electronic Warfare (EW) Range Improvements and Upgrades. Project Unit 3371 / MAGTF EW Interoperability Development: N/A Project Units 3308, 3309, 3327, and 3371 were incorporated into PE 0604270N in President's Budget 2017.
