RQ-4 (Airborne SIGINT Development - Global Hawk
Abstract
(U) This project supports sensor integration and test, flight test, design studies, engineering analysis and non-recurring engineering of the air and ground components for the Global Hawk SIGINT sensors. Also identifies suitable replacements for components affected by diminishing manufacturing sources. (U) This project provides the warfighter with a near-term, increased combat capability. Enhancements are implemented as soon as technology and risk achieve satisfactory levels. Capability improvements will be inserted into the ASIP family of sensors through individual development efforts that exploit signals of interest identified as service priorities by the Air Force SIGINT Capabilities Working Group (U) Funding includes completion of developmental logistics tasks associated with the design, development, and integration of ASIP and the ASIP Depot standup. Additional requirements include the Logistics Support Analysis (LSA) Taskings which consists of design and development of support equipment, technical orders, training courses/aids/devices, and shipping containers common to ASIP for U-2 and Global Hawk. (U) This program effort is equivalent to RDT&E budget activity 7, Operational Systems Development, because it involves Air Force R&D necessary to field essential operational capabilities.
