F-22 INCREMENT 3.2B

Abstract

Increment 3.2B will integrate the newest air-to-air intercept missiles (i.e., AIM-9X and AIM-120D), further improve the Electronic Protection (EP) capability over Increment 3.2A, and enhance the F-22's geolocation capability from the Increment 3.1 baseline with the addition of Geolocation 2. Increment 3.2B will include the Enhanced Stores Management System (ESMS), as well as Common Weapon Engagement Zone (WEZ), and an Intra-Flight Datalink (IFDL) improvement to increase IFDL bandwidth and enable cooperative functions required to realize Increment 3.2B capabilities. Increment 3.2B will develop, certify and integrate a new platform operational flight program to ensure the system interoperability and performance of all increment-level developments. The development program includes development, studies, and analysis to enhance the air vehicle and training system to improve/enhance F-22 weapons, communications, Electronic Warfare, and Intelligence Surveillance Reconnaissance (ISR) capabilities. Funds may be used to resolve emerging safety of flight and diminishing manufacturing sources issues, accommodate technology insertion and fulfill Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) or other mandates necessary to ensure continued aircrew safety and mission effectiveness. Additionally, this program element may include necessary civilian pay expenses required to manage, execute, and deliver F-22 weapon system capability. 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.
