Improved Aerial Refueling Systems
Abstract
This program develops single channel Precision GPS (PGPS) system to support Automated Aerial Refueling (AAR) for future manned and unmanned air systems (UAS). The FY11 funding will support the close out of the Automated Aerial Refueling Phase II Program. From FY04-08, the Next Generation Bomber PE 0604015F funded critical technology maturation and risk reduction efforts that could feed into a long-range strike platform in the future. AAR Phase II is a critical technology for future manned and unmanned long-range strike operations. AAR Phase I technology has been demonstrated, but it requires additional maturation, development, and integration to be demonstrated for operational utility. This program is in Budget Activity 4, Advanced Component Development, and Prototypes, (ACD&P) because efforts are necessary to evaluate integrated technologies, representative modes or prototype systems in a high fidelity and realistic operating environment.
