EPX (EP-3E Replacement )

Abstract

Funding starting in FY 2010 is shifted to new Program Element, PE 0307217N - EPX (EP-3 replacement). Provides funding for the Navy's EPX (EP-3 replacement) program. EPX is the Navy's recapitalization of existing manned airborne Intelligence, Surveillance, Reconnaissance (ISR) capabilities and will be a transformational multi-intelligence platform to fulfill Navy and OSD requirements. EPX RDT&E efforts will develop the system to meet the multi-intelligence ISR&Targeting requirements, ensure connectivity to other service platforms and ground stations, and address an ISR capability gap presented by service life limits of the legacy P-3 derivative aircraft. The Joint Requirements Oversight Council (JROC) validated Navy service requirements in December 2007, and the Navy has established EPX as the program to accomplish their ISR&T re-capitalization in accordance with JROC validation. FY08 Pre-MS A risk reduction efforts with industry participation included requirements analysis, Concept of Operations (CONOPS) development, trade study analysis, specification development, system concept development, and threat analysis. Analysis of Alternatives (AoA) was initated in FY09. The Program will utilize PE 0307207N FY09 funds during transition of program effort to new PE 0307217N in FY10.
