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 hardware/software solutions that link on-board integrated Aircraft Survivability Equipment (iASE) that are compatible with mission planning information and systems; studies, analysis and evaluations of current and future aircraft threats and Advanced EW Suite capabilities; modeling and simulation for improved countermeasure capabilities, and development and testing to address new and emerging threats. The projects in this element improve the ability of the Joint Force to strike diverse targets inside adversary air and missile defense networks to destroy mobile power-projection platforms and enhance close combat lethality in complex terrain. 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.

Change Summary Explanation
Project Unit 2175 / Tactical Air Electronic Warfare: FY 2023 funding request was reduced by $12.524 million to account for the availability of prior year execution balances. Project Unit 3308 / Technology Development: FY 2023 funding request was reduced by $.810 million to account for the availability of prior year execution balances. Schedule: Project Unit 2175 / Tactical Air Electronic Warfare: Incorporated F/A-18E/F Fleet Release 3QFY22 and F/18C through F/A-18F Fleet Release 1QFY23 due to established fleet release plan with Multi-Spectral Defense Electronic Warfare System Support Activity. IDECM ARC Support for Development, Integration and Test continues through FY 2023. Dual Band Decoy (DBD) Support for Development, Integration and Test continues through FY 2023. FY22 Dual Band Decoy (DBD) EMD contract award moved from 1st Qtr. FY2022 to 3rd Qtr. FY2022 due to delays in contractor Demonstration of Technologies (DET) testing. DBD EMD Systems Development shifted to the right by two quarters and contract deliveries also shifted to the right by one quarter. DBD Early Operational Capability nomenclature changed to FY23 and FY24 Production Build. Project Unit 3308 / Technology Development: FY20 Electronic Warfare (EW) Release changed from Q2 FY2021 to Q4 FY2021 due to Flight Test delays. Organic SWIP and ARC modeling, simulation, and technique optimization development will continue through FY 2023. Project Unit 3309 / Assault Survivability Optimization: FY 2021 flight test funds re-aligned efforts to support acquisition milestones leading to FY 2022 Common Carriage EMD contract award. FY 2022 F/A-18 ground-to-air flight test changed from Q3 FY 2022 to Q4 FY 2022 due to aircraft and range availability. FY 2022 EMD award (via Other Transaction Authority) changed from Q1 FY 2022 to Q3 FY 2022 due to additional time required to release request for white papers and vendor submittal. Vendor selection completed in Q2 FY 2022. Engineering and logistics milestones updated to align with EMD date change. Technical: Project Unit 2175 / Tactical Air Electronic Warfare: FY22 plan updated with list of EMD test assets to provide additional detail and clarification. --- FY 2023 funding increase reflects the fact that the FY 2022 President’s Budget request did not include out-year funding.
