The increase in funding in FY 2015 is for procurement of a Range Support Aircraft (RSA). RSA will provide range clearance and Beyond Line-of-Sight, Telemetry (TM) and Flight Termination Services on Navy sea ranges - primarily Pt. Mugu, CA and Pacific Missile Range Facility, HI. The current TM equipped P-3 aircraft must be replaced because the airframe is not supportable beyond FY 2019.
