RC-135 (Airborne SIGINT Development - RC-135)
Abstract
(U) This project supports design studies, engineering analysis, non-recurring engineering, and other efforts associated with the integration and modification of the RC-135 SIGINT sensors and their associated air and ground components. Through extensive utilization of commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS)-based solutions to fielding of needed capabilities, it also incurs the need for continuous diminishing manufacturing sources integration efforts consistent with the COTS technology cycle. (U) These efforts provide the requisite engineering for preliminary assessments of technical feasibility, operability, or military utility as well as specific engineering implementations integrated into the various baseline modifications. (U) These funds will be split between the RIVET JOINT, COMBAT SENT, and COBRA BALL programs. Funding reflects the SIGINT Capabilities Working Group (SCWG) priorities and the accomplishment of other ASE initiatives. (U) This program effort is Budget Activity 7, Operational Systems Development, because it involves Air Force RDT&E necessary to field essential operational capabilities.
