Navy Strategic Comm Project

Abstract

The E-6 is a manned airborne platform that provides survivable, endurable and reliable Command, Control and Communications capability in support of the President, Secretary of Defense and United States strategic and non-strategic forces. In order to respond effectively to emerging capability requirements, continued effort is needed to perform technical evaluations, modeling and simulation, investigative ground and flight testing, enhanced software modifications and development of configuration modifications. Funding has been added starting in FY15 for advanced development engineering and analysis of hardware/software required to optimize E-6 systems for interoperability in a network-centric strategic environment. FY16 funds continued and increased fidelity of the evaluations began in FY15. Additional government personnel were provided to explore and evaluate advanced technology advancements which could provide mission improvements, reduce aircraft weight, and extend weapons systems life span. Funding is critical to pursuit and capture of most cost effective and mission suitable procurement programs.
