Initial Operational Test and Evaluation

Abstract

This includes development of the F-15C and F-15E Advanced Display Core Processor (ADCP) II and Mode 5/ADS-B new start. The ADCP II will develop a common mission computer for the F-15C 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 cockpit display to replace an obsolete one. Mode 5 enables the NSA-mandated Mode 5 encryption and anti-jam for Air-Air Interrogator (AAI) and Identification Friend or Foe (IFF) systems. ADS-B provides Air Traffic Control position and other secondary surveillance data and must be installed on all CONUS aircraft by 2020 IAW FAA mandate. 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.
