B-2 Defensive Management System

Abstract

DMS-M is the #1 priority modification program in the B-2 program office. The B-2 Defensive Management System Modernization (DMS-M) program maintains the B-2 direct attack capability while addressing emerging 21st century threats. DMS-M will upgrade the Electronic Support Measures, antennas, and display processing units. Modernization of this system will resolve the #1 obsolescence issue in the B-2 fleet. The B-2 DMS-M will provide the Joint Force Commander and the B-2 fleet with advanced situational awareness, improved supportability, enhanced lethality, increased platform survivability, and networked battlespace awareness. The DMS-M upgrade will provide the following core capabilities for the B-2 and joint warfighting force: 1) Ability to provide indication, type, and position of airborne and ground-based radio frequency (RF) threats with the situational awareness needed to avoid, engage, or negate threats, 2) Improved RF threat information that can be reported to control agencies or inter-flight for improved situation/battlespace awareness, 3) Ability to adequately control, process, and display incoming threat information to the aircrew and provide updated battle-space awareness, 4) Improved supportability and reduced operations and maintenance costs. BA5 - This program is in Budget Activity 5, Engineering and Manufacturing Development (EMD, formerly known as System Development and Demonstration (SDD).) It is expected to pass Milestone B and begin conducting Engineering and Manufacturing Development tasks in FY14 aimed at meeting validated requirements prior to Full Rate Production.
