A-10 Squadrons
Abstract
The A-10 is a twin engine, single seat weapon system capable of delivering a full range of air-to-ground munitions and self-defense air-to-air missiles. The A-10 is an essential capability for successful joint air operations and represents a crucial component of the Combat Air Forces. The A-10 concept of operations requires a flexible, adaptable and survivable weapon system to conduct close air support (CAS), combat search and rescue and special operations missions. The A-10 must conduct around-the-clock air operations under various weather conditions against numerous and varied enemy threats. Operational Flight Program (OFP) development addresses evolving and continuing user requirements that must be incorporated in the aircraft software in order to employ advanced weapons, increase situational awareness and enhance targeting capabilities as they become available. The funds budgeted continue regular OFP suite development efforts. Additionally, these funds will ensure concurrency with systems impacted by OFP development, including but not limited to the Full Mission Trainer (FMT), mission planning and support equipment. 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.
