JSTARS Recapitalization
Abstract
The Joint Surveillance Target Attack Radar System Recapitalization (JSTARS Recap) weapon system will replace the currently fielded E-8C Joint STARS weapon system and will execute in both global and regional conflicts in support of operations ranging from peacetime engagements to conventional, high intensity, general warfare. JSTARS Recap will provide airborne, stand-off range, surveillance and target acquisition radar and Battle Management Command and Control (BMC2) capabilities. JSTARS Recap will provide theater, ground and air commanders with ground surveillance to support attack operations and targeting that contributes to the delay, disruption, and destruction of enemy forces. FY18 to FY23 RDT&E BA required to execute the Engineering Manufacturing and Development (EMD) phase of this acquisition. The focus of EMD will be to procure three Commercial Derivative Aircraft (CDA) and integrate the various subsystems (i.e. BMC2, Communications, Radar and ground support systems) to verify that system performance meets required capabilities. The primary evaluation of the weapon system development will occur during the EMD phase. Additionally, there will be major Technical Reviews accomplished during this phase: Combined System Requirements Review/System Functional Review (SRFR); Preliminary Design Review (PDR); Critical Design Review (CDR); Test Readiness Reviews (TRR); Production Readiness Review (PRR), Functional Configuration Audit (FCA) and Physical Configuration Audit (PCA). Funding may also support studies, analyses, and risk reduction activities addressing all subsystems to support both current program planning/execution and future Air Force program planning. This program element may include necessary civilian pay expenses required to manage, execute, and deliver JSTARS Recap weapon system capability. The use of such program funds would be in addition to the civilian pay expenses budgeted in program elements 0605826F, 0605827F, 0605828F, 0605829F, 0605830F, 0605831F, 0605832F, and 0605898F This program is in Budget Activity 5, System Development and Demonstration (SDD) because it is projected to receive Milestone B approval and is conducting EMD tasks aimed at meeting validated requirements prior to Full Rate Production (FRP).
