Common VLF/LF Receiver Inc 2

Abstract

The Common Very Low Frequency/Low Frequency (VLF/LF) Receiver (CVR) Increment 2 (CVRi2) Program will develop and produce a modular open systems approach (MOSA) compliant, advanced, adaptable VLF/LF receiver. As the USAF VLF receiver integrator, the VLF Enterprise Program Office will continue to be responsible for VLF sustainment to include configuration management of the CVR Increment 1 (CVRi1) materiel solution while also providing management support to the B-52 VLF Modernization Program for its procurement and production of the directed VLF receiver. The VLF Enterprise Program Office will provide the same management support to other legacy NC3 platforms' VLF receiver requirements. The total cost of the CVRi2 Middle Tier of Acquisition effort is 103.81M million, including RDT&E and procurement of prototype units. CVRi2 is not fully funded across the Future Years Defense Program. The Department of the Air Force is assessing all options to address the funding shortfalls for MTA programs including additional funding in a future budget request, performance trades based on technical maturity, or transition to alternative pathways. This project 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 elements 0605827F, 0605828F, 0605829F, 0605831F, 0605832F, 0605833F, 0605898F, 0606398F. In FY2022 0.208M was expended for civilian pay expenses in this project, and FY2023 1.399M is forecasted for civilian pay expenses in this project.
