RQ-4 Airborne Sense & Avoid (ABSAA)
Abstract
RDT&E funding in this project supports design, development, integration, and testing of RQ-4 Airborne Sense and Avoid (ABSAA). Global Hawk is the Pathfinder for ABSAA. SAA development planning is concurrent with Global Hawk ABSAA. Ongoing activities include technology maturation, sub system integration and risk reductions activities. ABSAA is a separate ACAT II program in the Technological Development phase of the acquisition lifecycle, supports the "Worldwide Operations" Key Performance Parameter (KPP), and provides the ability for UAS integration into the National Airspace System (NAS) and full UAS operations across all mission environments. Funding covers the Sense and Avoid development activities as well as program infrastructure and other government costs. This is a continuation of efforts which began in FY10 under OSD PEC, 64400D. Activities also include ABSAA related studies and analysis supporting current and future ABSAA program planning and project execution. 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.
