BASELINE SUPPORT
Abstract
Baseline Support maintains and upgrades the B-2 unique flight test aircraft as well as hardware/software and test equipment to support developmental systems integration and flight test, reducing the need for additional operational aircraft and accelerating deployment of advanced operational capabilities to the warfighter. Baseline Support also ensures the Mission Planning System keeps pace with aircraft modifications and improves the mission planning core system. Baseline Support provides for other B-2 unique government costs and includes assorted studies of aircraft performance and cost trades as well as acquisition planning activities, up to and including proposal preparation, for future capabilities such as, but not limited to, Advanced Tactical Data Link efforts, Moving Target Kill capability, High Resolution Synthetic Aperture Radar, Enhanced Radar Modes, F118 Service Life Extension, F118 Extended Mission Oil Tank Upgrades, Next Generation Engine Core upgrade, Universal Armament Interface, System 2 Nuclear Interface, Global Positioning System/M Code Receivers, Joint Precision Approach and Landing System upgrades, Radar Processor Modernization, Mode 5/S Identification Friend or Foe, Automatic Dependence Surveillance Broadcast, Flight Data and Voice Recorder upgrade, Communications/ Navigation/Surveillance-Air Traffic Management, Information Fusion, and integration of currently fielded or new weapons including, but not limited to, GBU E/B Selective Availability and Anti Spoofing Module (SAASM) with impact angle control, GBU D/B SAASM with impact angle control, Hard Target Void Sending Fuze, Joint Air-to-Surface Standoff Missile Extended Range, Joint Direct Attack Munition-5000, and GBU-56.
