Special Programs (Airborne SIGINT Development - Special Platforms)
Abstract
(U) This project supports special SIGINT studies as well as the development and integration of advanced SIGINT capabilities on Senior Scout, Liberty Project Aircraft (MC-12W), NCCT SIGINT projects, and other special projects. Through extensive utilization of 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) Senior Scout development efforts will include antenna improvements, sensitivity upgrades, and radio frequency distribution upgrades. Additionally, development will begin to allow this platform to network with other SIGINT assets to increase collection accuracy. (U) This project provides the warfighter with a near term combat capability with increased capability improvements accomplished as soon as technology and risk achieve satisfactory levels. Sensors will be integrated and tested on various platforms as funding permits. (U) Budget Activity Justification: This program effort is Budget Activity 7, Operational Systems Development, because it involves Air Force RDT&E necessary to field essential operational capabilities.
