AIRBORNE ELECTRONIC ATTACK
Abstract
This program element supports the development of the critical electronic attack capabilities, from technology demonstrations through transition to operational capability, for Air Force and joint operations to include the Global Strike and Persistent Global Attack Concepts of Operations (CONOPS). Based on the 2001 Joint Airborne Electronic Attack (AEA) Analysis of Alternatives (AoA) and the follow-on 2002 Joint Suppression of Enemy Air Defenses (Joint SEAD) presentation to OSD(AT&L), the AEA capability will consist of a number of components working together in a joint system of systems. The Joint SEAD presentation identified the Navy AEA components as the EA-6B Improved Capability (ICAP) III and EA-18G modified escort platforms and indicated the Air Force will be responsible for coordinating overall AEA system of systems requirements. AF component capabilities include the Miniature Air Launched Decoy (MALD) and its stand-in jammer variant called MALD-J, the EC-130H Compass Call Baseline 0 (formerly Block 35) configuration and Active Electronically Scanned Array (AESA) radar equipped aircraft, and potentially, recoverable unmanned stand-in and manned long range stand-off jammer platforms. Additionally, this program element supports the development of an advanced electronic attack capability for use in Irregular Warfare scenarios against non-IADS targets such as communications networks and remote controlled improvised explosive devices. This program is included in budget activity 5, System Development and Demonstration, because of the development and/or testing associated with Airborne Electronic Attack.
