Wide Area Airborne Surveillance Program of Record (WAAS POR)
Abstract
The Wide Area Airborne Surveillance Program of Record (WAAS POR) will develop capabilities to support Combatant Commands' requirements for end-to-end persistent surveillance. Incremental development will provide wide area airborne sensor suites, and associated ground support elements, to provide city-sized and similar broad area surveillance capabilities on manned and unmanned aircraft. Funding will be allocated in FY10-FY15 to meet OSD Program Decision Memorandum (PDM) II direction (19 Nov 07) and COCOM urgent needs to address service requirements for wide area airborne surveillance capability on manned and unmanned aircraft system platforms. Increments will provide flexibility to support various aircraft size, weight and power configurations; sensor performance attributes; Processing, Exploitation, and Dissemination (PED) architectures, and operational missions. Funding will be managed by the Air Force. FY10 funding ($38.705M) was executed out of BPAC 674818. Activities also include studies, analysis, and technology maturation and demonstration to support both current program planning and execution as well as future program planning. This program is categorized as Budget Activity 7 because it provides for development of technologies and capabilities in support of operational system development.
