BASELINE SUPPORT
Abstract
Baseline Support maintains the B-2 unique flight test aircraft and as well as obtains, modifies, and operates a flying test bed and developmental hardware/software and test equipment to support developmental systems integration and flight test, reducing the need for additional operational aircraft and accelerates deployment of advanced operational capabilities to the warfighter. Baseline Support also ensures the Mission Planning system keeps pace with aircraft modifications and mission planning core system updates. Baseline Support also provides for other B-2 unique government costs, and includes acquisition planning activities for future capabilities such as, but not limited to, Stores Management Processor/Infrastructure upgrades, Global Positioning Satellite signal to B-2 Weapons Bays, Massive Ordnance Penetrator Enhancements, F118 Service Live Extension and F118 Extended Mission Oil Tank Upgrades, Advanced Tactical Data Link capabilities, mixed weapon load-outs, B61 Life Extension Program, Universal Armament Interface, System 2 Nuclear Interface, Global Positioning System/Selective Availability and Anti-Spoofing Module (SAASM)/M-Code receivers upgrades, Joint Precision Approach and Landing System upgrades, Radar Processor Modernization, and Automatic Dependent Surveillance – Broadcast, and integration of currently fielded or new weapons including, but not limited to, GBU E/B SAASM with impact angle control, GBU D/B SAASM with impact angle control, Hard Target Void Sending Fuze, extended range Joint Air-to-Surface Standoff Missile, and Joint Direct Attack Munition-5000.
