(U)ASE Self Protection Optimization
Abstract
This element includes development of Aircraft Survivability Equipment (ASE) and Electronic Warfare (EW)/countermeasures solutions for the United States Navy, United States Marine Corps 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. JUSTIFICATION FOR BUDGET ACTIVITY: This program is funded under ADVANCED COMPONENT DEVELOPMENT AND PROTOTYPES because it includes all efforts necessary to evaluate integrated technologies, representative models or prototype systems in a high fidelity and realistic operating environment.

- Change Summary Explanation
- Technical: PU 3309 Assault Survivability Optimization: Advanced threat system capability for seeker vans delayed until FY16. Application of advanced countermeasures for increased aircraft survivability delayed until FY17 for four DoN aircraft, UH-1Y, UH-1Z, CH-53K and KC-130J. Cost: Project Unit (PU) 3309 Assault Survivability Optimization: FY2015 $2.110M Senate Appropriations Committee mark for unjustified request for test assets and $1.106M House Appropriations Committee mark for program growth. Congressional marks delay procurement of advanced countermeasures for flight effectiveness testing and capability upgrades to seeker vans and delays fielding of survivability improvements to DoN aircraft. Schedule: PU 3309 Assault Survivability Optimization: Program was established by OPNAV N98 to fill USN and USMC aircraft survivability gaps against current and future threat systems using current and advanced technology expendable countermeasures as well as improvements in Aircraft Survivability Equipment (ASE) systems. Changes to R-3, R-4, and R-4A from previous budget submission are in response to proliferation changes of threat systems and fielding of additional ASE capability. The current schedule is developed to meet these emerging threat changes by optimizing countermeasure techniques using this additional ASE capability in accordance with Air Expendable Countermeasures (AECM) ORD: #512-88-89 dated 28 May 99 to provide operationally effective countermeasures and countermeasures techniques. It is anticipated that PU 3309 will continue to change in response to this requirement when similar threat proliferation, advances in countermeasures technology and ASE capability advancements are accomplished. Procurement of advanced countermeasures delayed until 2nd quarter FY16 thereby delaying flight effectiveness test until FY17 and seeker test van capability upgrades delayed until FY16 due to PB-15 Congressional marks.
