Assault Survivability Optimization
Abstract
This project funds the development, testing and rapid fielding of advanced countermeasures and enhanced employment techniques needed to support current and future operations for United States Navy and United States Marine Corps aircraft. Incorporates capability advancements in Aircraft Survivability Equipment (ASE) and expendable countermeasures to develop and deploy countermeasure responses resulting in increased platform survivability. Resources will be applied to the following areas: 1) studies and evaluations to optimize current countermeasures and ASE capabilities, 2) development and demonstration of advanced expendable countermeasures and countermeasure techniques, 3) testing and evaluation of advanced countermeasures, 4) development of system software for the testing and deployment of advanced countermeasure techniques, and 5) development of and upgrades to modeling tools and specialized equipment required to conduct evaluation of advanced countermeasures. FY 2016 flight test effectiveness testing to be conducted using Non-Combat Expenditure Allowance (NCEA) of current countermeasures. Advanced countermeasures procured in FY 2016 and delivered within 12 months will support flight test for optimized/advanced countermeasures techniques in FY 2017. The identified countermeasure quantity is required by Air Expendable Countermeasures Test and Evaluation Master Plan #1480 to complete the flight testing for test Mission Data Files (MDF) and optimized/advanced countermeasures techniques (RDT&E Articles are advanced air expendable countermeasures).
