MQ-9 SLAM
Abstract
The MQ-9 System Lifecycle Agile Modernization (SLAM) Program develops and integrates improvements for existing systems and fields new capabilities for the MQ-9 fleet through an Agile Acquisition Strategy to meet evolving mission needs. The objective is to enable rapid fielding of new software, hardware, and sustainability for integration into the MQ-9 fleet with requirements from the Candidate Capability List (CCL) that may include, but are not limited to, efforts to reduce system configurations; perform technology upgrades; increase pilot awareness and usability; improve reconnaissance targeting and exploitation; expand weapons system selection and lethality; enlarge suitability to varying operational theaters; improve security and self-protection; reduce logistics footprint; train the warfighter and prototyping. Activities also include, but are not limited to, studies, analysis, simulations, demonstration, prototyping and testing, use of subject matter experts and agencies in developing and testing MQ-9 system capabilities, to include System Integration Laboratory (SIL)/ Hardware in the Loop Laboratory (HILL) and Det improvements. This program element may include necessary civilian pay expenses required to manage, execute, and deliver MQ-9 weapon system capability. The use of such program funds would be in addition to the civilian pay expenses budgeted in program elements 0605826F, 0605827F, 0605828F, 0605829F, 0605830F, 0605831F, 0605832F, and 0605898F. Funding may be used to address Diminishing Manufacturing Source (DMS) and Non-Recurring Engineering issues. MQ-9 Program of Record (PoR)and Air Force Special Operations Command(AFSOC) will cost share during development, where appropriate, on joint efforts that are required by both programs to support the new capabilities.
