HIJENKS Operational Acceleration

Abstract

HIJENKS System Integration, T&E and Alternate Platform development and test activity will focus on software development for integration of new High Power Microwave (HPM) capabilities into control systems and mission planning software. Technical objectives of HIJENKS focus on improving the robustness of HPM systems in new airborne platforms and improving the mission planning capability for HPM engagement scenarios. The prototype will mature several of these areas to enable operational capability in a phased approach for multi-platform integration and demonstration combined with validation/certification paths of software and hardware architectures. Activities are intended as risk reduction, operational analysis, and system level environmental test in order to reduce transition program cost for platform capability. Phase 1 FY-20 The first phase of the prototype will focus on initiating platform integration activities for software, mission planning and environmental hardening and alternate platform analysis Phase 2 FY-21 Phase 2 brings component level environmental testing and certification as well as software development for limited pre-planned missions Phase 3 FY-22 Phase 3 brings system level environmental and EMC testing and certification as well as software development for limited dynamic mission planning and expanded target class surrogate development and test Phase 4 FY-23 Phase 4 brings integration and certification of mission planning and weapon control software to reduce transition costs for Program of Record
