Tact Air Dir Infrared CM (TADIRCM)
Abstract
This element includes development of electronic warfare systems for the United States Navy (USN) and United States Marine Corps (USMC) assault and strike aircraft. This includes the development and testing of advanced Infrared Countermeasures (IRCM) systems for emerging threats and emergency contingencies. Realignment of project units from Tactical Aircraft Directed Infrared Countermeasure (TADIRCM) to Joint and Allied Threat Awareness System (JATAS) begins in FY11. This program element includes $0.285 million for the Defense Acquisition Workforce Development Fund (DAWDF).

- Change Summary Explanation
- Technical: The acquisition strategy has been revised to field an advanced IRCM capability for assault aircraft. An evolutionary acquisition approach will be implemented in fielding this capability. The capability will be fielded in two increments, with the first increment being an advanced Missile Warning System (MWS) capability. This capability has been designated as JATAS. The second increment Assault DIRCM designated by the Army as the Common Infrared Countermeasure (CIRCM) has a Milestone B decision planned in FY10. Schedule: The schedule for Tactical Aircraft Directed Infrared Countermeasure (TADIRCM) has changed due to new guidance from OPNAV. An Analysis of Alternatives (AoA) was conducted by N88 to assess the need for an advanced Infrared Countermeasure (IRCM) capability for assault and strike aircraft against surface to air threats. Conclusions from the AoA determined there was an immediate need for an advanced IRCM capability for assault (rotary wing) aircraft, however, additional analysis was needed to evaluate strike aircraft IRCM requirements. The AoA conclusion was that advanced Missile Warning Technology was sufficiently mature to proceed into an Engineering Manufacturing Development (EMD) program. However, the Assault Directed Infrared countermeasure (DIRCM) technology for small to medium USN/USMC assault aircraft required maturity of several technologies prior to EMD. TADIRCM will now be executed via two separate programs. Subsequent to the AoA, an Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition, Logistics and Technology USD (AT&L) directed Joint Analysis Team (JAT) was formed to analyze Aircraft Survivability Equipment (ASE) across all the services. As a result of the JAT's recommended roadmap for ASE, an Acquisition Decision Memorandum (ADM) by the USD (AT&L) on 15 April 09 directed the Navy to conduct a competitive prototyping technology development (TD) phase prior to EMD. In addition to designating the Army as the lead service for developing a DIRCM capability for assault aircraft, a Joint and Allied Threat Awareness System (JATAS) TD phase contract to conduct competitive prototyping prior to an EMD was awarded in FY09. The EMD contract award is planned for FY11 with an Initial Operational Capability (IOC) date of FY14 planned. Assault DIRCM, which has been designated by the Army as the Common Infrared Countermeasure (CIRCM) has a planned Milestone B of FY11. FY11 from previous President's Budget is shown as zero because no FY11-15 data was presented in President's Budget 2010.
