TACAMO Recap
Abstract
The E-6 Recapitalization Program (E-XX) provides for air vehicle replacement and mission systems modernization for the aging E-6B aircraft and Take Charge and Move Out (TACAMO) mission. The TACAMO mission provides airborne capability for survivable, endurable and reliable airborne command, control and communications between the United States (U.S.) National Command Authority (NCA) and the U.S. strategic forces. This mission is critical in the deterrence and management of a large-scale nuclear conflict. A dedicated communications platform, TACAMO aircraft feature the ability to communicate on virtually every radio frequency band from very low frequency (VLF) up through extremely high frequency (EHF) using a variety of modulations, encryptions and networks, minimizing the likelihood an emergency message being jammed by an enemy. Continued effort is needed to perform modeling and simulation, requirements derivation, contract development and technical evaluations. Funding is for requirements development, modernization of mission systems, reducing integration risk on aircraft, increasing reliability and maintainability, cyber resilience, test assets and EMD contract development for future MS-B program initiation decision.
