MEECN System Improvements
Abstract
MEECN System Improvements (MSI) is a long-range planning process with users (Air Force Global Strike Command (AFGSC), Air Combat Command (ACC), Air Force Space Command (AFSPC), Air Mobility Command (AMC), US Strategic Command (USSTRATCOM), and the Navy) to develop positions for current and future requirements/issues based on available technology. MSI is used to conduct technology testing, analyze technology strategies, and build technology roadmaps as pro-active support to the Nuclear Command, Control, and Communications (NC3)community. Very Low Frequency/Low Frequency (VLF/LF) receivers are currently used as one of the means for secure/survivable connectivity from the President to strategic forces. Over the years, the AF and Navy have pursued their own VLF products, which meet the unique application and environmental situations for each platform. MSI is investigating the technical feasibility of a future common core of processing hardware and software that supports all VLF receiver platforms and associated waveforms. MSI will perform risk reduction, and analyze requirements and technologies for future replacement efforts. This program is in Budget Activity 07, 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 years.
