OPEN AIR RANGE INVESTMENTS
Abstract
This effort funds the modernization and upgrades of existing capabilities and the development of new T&E capabilities required at the Navy's Major Range Test Facility Base open air ranges at the Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division (NAWCAD), Patuxent River, MD, Naval Air Warfare Center Weapons Division (NAWCWD), Point Mugu, CA and China Lake, CA and Pacific Missile Range Facility (PMRF), Kauai, HI. 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 (BLoS) Telemetry (TM) and Flight Termination Services (FTS) 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.
