Initial Operational Test and Evaluation

Abstract

This includes development of the F-15C/D and F-15E Advanced Display Core Processor (ADCP) II and the F-15C/D and F-15E Eagle Passive/Active Warning Survivability System (EPAWSS) (EPAWSS funds for FY14 only are in PE 0207134F). The ADCP II will develop a common mission computer for the F-15C/D and F-15E. The current mission computers of both platforms have reached their limits of speed, memory and throughput. Additionally, digital systems have changed the security requirements of both platforms and the older mission computers cannot be upgraded to meet these new requirements. A common mission computer is expected to reduce overall development costs as well as long term maintenance costs. The program will also develop a new F-15C/D cockpit display to replace an obsolete one. EPAWSS will replace the obsolete Tactical Electronic Warfare System (TEWS), which will help the aircraft survive in high threat environments. This program is in Budget Activity 7, Operational System Development because this budget activity includes development efforts to upgrade systems that have been fielded or have received approval for full rate production and anticipate production funding in the current or subsequent fiscal year. The FY2016 funding request was reduced by $39.869 million to account for the availability of prior year balances.
