Next Generation NAOC
Abstract
The four aircraft E-4B NAOC fleet satisfies the military need for an airborne operations center with communications capabilities that permit military and civilian leadership to monitor and control military and civil national assets during all phases of nuclear and non-nuclear conflict or natural disaster. The E-4B NAOC fleet also satisfies the military requirement to provide a highly survivable node of the National Military Command System (NMCS). The Air Force received RDT&E funds in FY10 to continue analysis for a replacement fleet based on the recommendations of the E-4B NAOC Aircraft Replacement AoA. These funds have been used to develop a Technology Development Strategy, Test and Evaluation Strategy, Systems Engineering Plan, Lifecycle Management Plan, Initial Capabilities Document, and other required documents leading up to a Milestone A decision. A number of risk reduction studies, such as a sustainability study and antenna/communications technology study, are also planned.
