Advanced Targeting Pod
Abstract
The Advanced Targeting Pod (ATP) program includes, but is not limited to, modifying and upgrading LITENING and Sniper precision targeting pods supporting F-15E, F-16, A-10, B-1B, and B-52. Each targeting pod provides long-range target acquisition and expanded weapon delivery envelopes during day, night, and all-weather conditions. Targeting pods are equipped with infrared (IR) sensor, laser designator, digital video, and real-time video data link for connectivity with ground forces. Funds will support integrating ATP technology with aircraft Operational Flight Programs, upgrading pod capability, technical analysis, and testing. This program element may include necessary civilian pay expenses required to manage, execute, and deliver weapon system capability. The use of such program funds would be in addition to the civilian pay expenses budgeted in program element 0605831F. In FY21 $0M was expended for civilian pay expenses in this program element, and in FY22 $0M is forecasted for civilian pay expenses in this program element. This program is in Budget Activity 7, Operational System Development because this budget activity includes development efforts to upgrade systems that have been fielded or have received approval for full rate production and anticipate production funding in the current or subsequent fiscal year.
