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. ATPs are imperative in supporting Long Range Kill Chain in support of Operational Imperative 3, as well as target identification, reduction in collateral damage, and fratricide prevention. 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 advanced technology with aircraft Operational Flight Programs, upgrading pod capability, technical analysis, and testing. The FY2025 funding request was reduced by $.604 million to account for the availability of prior year execution balances 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 0605827F, 0605828F, 0605829F, 0605831F, 0605832F, 0605833F, 0605898F, 0606398F. In FY23 $0.310M was expended for civilian pay expenses in this program element, and in FY24 $0.357M 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.
