EMD HW/Advanced Capibilities Improvements
Abstract
EMD hardware (HW)/advanced capability improvements: EMD HW provides funding to develop, test, and qualify aircraft weapons systems including F-16 subsystems replaced or modified due to requirements changes, pre-lanned product improvements (P3I) and diminishing manufacturing source (DMS)and parts obsolescence. The approach to contracting varies by individual project. These hardware improvements include but are not limited to flight systems, improved navigation, mux architecture, MMC throughput memory upgrades, high speed data communications within the aircraft systems, embedded GPS/INS updates, Blk 40 air-to-air interrogator (AAI), digital video recorder, advanced data transfer equipment (ADTE) and related data transfer devices and interfaces, display upgrades, radio/communication studies, and CAS data link. Advanced capability improvements include software integration, sensor upgrades, radar updates and other self-protection/electronic protection (EP) enhancements, 4th/5th gen fighter network communications, lab and/or on-aircraft evaluation of potential subsystem changes/capability improvements on the F-16 as well as establishment of associated requirement specification changes. These capability improvements also fund integration of pods including updates and tech order changes (SNIPER, HTS, LITENING) etc. Also includes integration of new replacement DMS hardware for a crash survivable data recorder.
