Fully Integrated Targeting Pod
Abstract
Fully Integrated Targeting Pod (FITP) Modification permanently integrates the advanced targeting pod (ATP) capability into the B-1B’s avionics flight software and replaces the B-1B’s Temporary T-1 Beyond Line of Sight (BLOS)/Laptop Controlled Targeting Pod (LCTP) system with increased situational awareness, weapons de-confliction, and intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance within the Combat Air Forces (CAF). FITP will provide robust combat targeting processing power, computing speed & throughput for aircrew mission planning, a permanent sustainment support structure. It will provide all four crew members access to targeting pod information displayed on digital high definition quality video using the Integrated Battle Station (IBS) multi-function displays (MFDs) and cursor controller. FITP will address the aircrew ergonomic issues caused by the current system configuration, allowing more rapid prosecution of targets with improved integration with Avionics Flight Software (AFS) capabilities. In addition, FITP will provide growth capability for implementation and interaction with follow-on systems to augment targeting pod use. Furthermore, the Fully Integrated Targeting Pod (FITP) removes the need for Interim Contractor Support (ICS) sustainment support structure,resolving DMS issue.
