B-2 DMS
Abstract
The B-2 Defensive Management System Modernization (DMS-M) program maintains the B-2 direct attack capability while addressing emerging 21st century threats. DMS-M is the #1 priority modification program in the B-2 program office. DMS-M will upgrade the Electronic Support Measures, antennas, and display processing units. Modernization of this system will resolve the #1 obsolescence issue in the B-2 fleet. The B-2 DMS-M will provide the Joint Force Commander and the B-2 fleet with advanced situational awareness, improved supportability, enhanced lethality, increased platform survivability, and networked battlespace awareness. The B-2 DMS-M upgrade will provide the following core capabilities for the B-2 and joint warfighting force: 1) Ability to provide indication, type, and position of airborne and ground-based radio frequency (RF) threats with the situational awareness needed to avoid, engage, or negate threats, 2) Improved RF threat information that can be reported to control agencies or inter-flight for improved situation/battlespace awareness, 3) Ability to adequately control, process, and display incoming threat information to the aircrew and provide updated battle-space awareness, and 4) Improved supportability and reduced operations and maintenance costs. As DMS-M requires increased functionality and capability of the display processor, it includes FY10 and future year budgets transitioned from the B-2 Integrated Display System modification (MN-110041). FY10 Congressional Plus-up for B-2 Strike Control System establishes the foundation for all future data fusion and pilot-vehicle interface upgrades. Funds were applied to the DMS-M development program. BA5 - This program is in Budget Activity 5, System Development and Demonstration (SDD) because it has passed Milestone B approval and is conducting engineering and manufacturing development tasks aimed at meeting validated requirements prior to full-rate production
