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. Develop and integrate emerging technologies for specialized B-52 missions to include Intelligence Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR), Targeting and Weapons, future prototyping efforts, Diminishing Manufacturing Sources and Material Shortages (DMSMS) efforts to include removal of end-of-life software/hardware within simulators systems, and common open system architecture that is sustainable and cyber-resilient. Funds may be used to address requirements including, but not limited to, emerging and short-notice DMSMS for both aircraft and associated training systems, Development Testing (DT)/ Operational Testing (OT), and safety of flight issues. Additionally, funds may accommodate Program Management Administration (PMA) and support, civilian pay expenses, rapid technology insertion, and fulfill Federal Aviation Agency (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 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 FY21 0M was expended for civilian pay expenses in this program element, and in FY22 0M is forecasted for civilian pay expenses in this program element.
