MAGTF EW Aviation Development

Abstract

This project unit supports the United States Marine Corps development of Marine Air Ground Task Force (MAGTF) Electronic Warfare (EW) and the various elements of its distributed System of Systems (SoS) that support the Commandant of the Marine Corps' Strategy and Vision 2025 and Joint Vision 2025. The SoS will address MAGTF EW sufficiency gaps in the areas of Electronic Attack, EW Support, and Electronic Protection with a multitude of payloads designed for carriage on a variety of organic MAGTF air and ground assets. Payload development plans follow an adaptable, modular and open architecture philosophy to combat the increasing capability gap and enable future growth at a reduced operational and sustainment cost. The ALQ-231(v)1 pod is the Fixed-Wing variant of the Intrepid Tiger II pod flown on the AV-8B and F/A-18A-D platforms. The ALQ-231(v)2 will be the variant of the Intrepid Tiger II pod flown on unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) platforms once integration is complete. The ALQ-231(v)3 is the Rotary-Wing variant of the Intrepid Tiger II pod flown on the AH-1 and UH-1 platforms. As of the PresBud15 submission, the ALQ-231(v)1 was the only approved configuration and nomenclature for the Intrepid Tiger II pod. The re-designation of the ALQ-231 variants occurred with the approval of Rapid Deployment Capability authorization for ALQ-231 on Rotary Wing platforms by the Assistant Secretary of the Navy for Research, Development, and Acquisition (ASN(RD&A)) on January 14, 2014. Prior to FY11, Intrepid Tiger II efforts were budgeted under Program Element (PE) 0604270N, Project Unit (PU) 0556. In FY12, Intrepid Tiger II efforts were budgeted under PE 0604270N, PU 3327. The sum of All Prior Years does not include a FY 2013 Below Threshold Reprogramming action for $1.929M. The sum of All Prior Years for Project Unit 3327 should total $11.576M.
