A/C SURV EQUIP DEV

Abstract

The objective of the Aircraft Survivability Equipment (ASE) Development project is to improve radio frequency (RF) ASE for Army aviation. Milestone Decision Authority (MDA) approved phase 1 of a phased/incremental path forward, supported by the user and HQDA. Phase I upgrades the Processor Line Replaceable Unit (LRU) of the AN/APR-39A(V)1 Radar Signal Detecting Set through modernization and reduced parts count. Along with improved maintainability and reliability, performance will be enhanced via increased processing speed and expanded memory. These improvements will result in faster response time, better dense environment capability and improved parameter measurement. Phase 1 serves to make the currently fielded system viable until affordable improved RF ASE capability can be pursued in Phases 2 and 3. Phase 2 initiates development of an improved digital Radar Warning Receiver (RWR) and Phase 3 adds active Electronic Countermeasures (ECM) for selected aircraft. FY 12 RDTE funding $9.554 million continues the AOA of the digital RWR.
