SPECTRUM WARFARE ATTACK CAPABILITY
Abstract
The Angry Kitten Combat System (AKCS) program will further develop electronic attack capabilities supporting USAF fighter and attack platforms. The current 4th generation electronic warfare (EW) pods have diminishing manufacturing sources and require advanced capabilities. The AKCS program will develop prototype EW systems for 4th/5th generation aircraft that improve threat detection techniques, incorporate open system architecture, and advance rapid reprogramming capabilities. Funds are required to leverage existing EW pod components and develop a relevant EW system supporting fighter and attack platforms. This program element may include necessary civilian pay expenses required to manage, execute, and deliver weapon system capability. The use of such program funds would be in addition to the civilian pay expenses budgeted in program element 0605827F, 0605828F, 0605829F, 0605831F, 0605832F, 0605833F, 0605898F, 0606398F. In FY23 0.0M was expended for civilian pay expenses in this program element, and in FY24 0.0M is forecasted for civilian pay expenses in this program element. 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.
