B-52 Low Cost Improvement (LCI)
Abstract
This program will include projects to facilitate future B-52 capabilities. Scope of work may involve, but is not limited to, Avionics, Navigation, Situational Awareness (SA) and Defensive Systems. Additionally, develop and integrate emerging technologies for specialized B-52 missions to include Information Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR), Targeting and Weapons. Continuing work related to the Mission Data Recorder to make the T-1 modification a Permanent Modification to the platform. Funds may be used to address emerging and short-notice Diminishing Manufacturing and Material Shortage (DMSMS) issues. DMS efforts to include removal of end-of-life software/hardware within simulators systems and move to a modular, common open system architecture that is sustainable and cyber-resilient. Implement requirements and standards defined under the Simulator Common Architecture Requirements and Standards (SCARS) initiative. Funds may be used to resolve emerging safety of flight and diminishing manufacturing sources issues, accommodate technology insertion and fulfill FAA or other mandates necessary to ensure continued aircrew safety and mission effectiveness. This program element may include necessary civilian pay expenses required to manage, execute, and deliver B-52 weapon system capability. BA7- This project 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
