CSAR EMD
Abstract
The Combat Survivor Evader Locator (CSEL) System provides aircrews with end-to-end global satellite secure emergency communication capability during combat and peace-time flying operations. CSEL provides a hand held radio as part of the mandatory aircrew survival gear. CSEL is a joint program (AF, Army, and Navy) and is the DoD program of record for personnel recovery survival radios. CSEL supports four of five Personnel Mission Phases: Report, Locate, Support, and Recover. A National Security Agency (NSA) Cryptographic Modernization mandate and the Ultra High Frequency Follow-On satellite constellation are at the end of life and are driving upgrades to 60,000+ hand held radios and base stations. This effort includes development to modernize the system to integrate common waveforms, integrate broadcast reception for non-CSEL devices, provide for cryptographic modernization, leverage software defined capabilities based on the FY16 cryptographic study, and to procure intellectual property. This funding will also be used to perform various studies and analysis in support of the CSEL Enterprise. This program element may include necessary civilian pay expenses required to manage, execute, and deliver CSEL capabilities. 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, 0605898F, and 0605833F. As directed in the FY 2018 NDAA, Sec 825, amendment to PL 114-92 FY 2016 NDAA, Sec 828 Penalty for Cost Overruns, the FY 2018 Air Force penalty total is $14.373M. The calculated percentage reduction to each research, development, test and evaluation and procurement account will be allocated proportionally from all programs, projects, or activities under such account. 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.
