Special Operations Aviation Systems Advanced Development/SF100

Abstract

This program element provides for the development, demonstration, and integration of current and maturing technologies for Special Operations Forces (SOF)-unique aviation requirements. Timely application of SOF-unique technology is critical and necessary to meet requirements in such areas as: low probability of intercept/low probability of detection, terrain following/terrain avoidance radar; Precision Strike Package for MC-130W Multi-Mission Modification, AC-130H Recapitalization, and other SOF airborne platforms; digital terrain elevation data and electronic order of battle; digital maps; enhanced situational awareness; near-real-time intelligence to include data fusion, threat detection and avoidance; electronic support measures for threat geo-location and specific emitter identification; navigation, target detection, and identification technologies; digital broadcast capabilities; and aerial refueling.

Change Summary Explanation
Funding: FY09: Net increase of $28.369 million is due to Small Business Innovative Research transfer (-$1.491 million), a reprogramming for risk reduction efforts on a Precision Strike Package MC-130 Multi-Mission Modification (+$7.600 million), and an above threshold reprogramming to fulfill an urgent USSOCOM requirement to rapidly arm and field multi-mission precision strike platforms (+$22.260 million). FY10: Net decrease of -$10.313 million (decrease of -$15.209 million in Avionics Modernization Program and -$0.304 million due to Section 8097 congressional general reduction). Increase of $1.200 million for Helicopter cable warning obstacle avoidance system as well as increase of $4.000 million for EC-130J Multi-Mission Upgrades. The $1.200 million add funding will be moved via DD Form 1415-3 reprogramming action to PE 1160482BB SOF Rotary Wing Aviation. FY11: Increase of $68.691 million is due to the DoD not estimating FY 2011 cost when the FY 2010 President's Budget was prepared. Schedule: None. Technical: None.
