TACAMO MODERNIZATION
Abstract
The E-6 Take Charge and Move Out (TACAMO) Recapitalization Program (E-XX) provides for air vehicle replacement and mission systems modernization to augment and eventually replace the aging E-6B aircraft for the TACAMO mission. The TACAMO mission provides an airborne capability for survivable, endurable and reliable airborne command, control and communications between the United States (U.S.) National Command Authority (NCA) and the U.S. strategic forces. This mission is critical in the deterrence and management of a nuclear conflict. A dedicated communications platform, TACAMO aircraft feature the ability to communicate on virtually every radio frequency band from very low frequency (VLF) up through advanced extremely high frequency (AEHF) using a variety of modulations, encryptions and networks, minimizing the likelihood an emergency message being jammed by an enemy. Continued effort is needed to perform modeling and simulation, requirements refinement, contract development, technical evaluations and non-recurring engineering. Funding is for requirements development, modernization of mission systems, reducing integration risk on aircraft, increasing reliability and maintainability, cyber resilience, procurement of test assets, secure program facilities and Engineering & Manufacturing Development (EMD) contract development for Milestone B (MSB) program initiation decision.
