MP-RTIP
Abstract
The Multi Platform-Radar Technology Insertion Program (MP-RTIP) sensor was designed as a family of modular, scalable sensors that provide next generation capabilities to support sustainable network centric operations with integrated Command and Control Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (C2ISR) capability. MP-RTIP provides the Global Hawk (GH) Block 40 aircraft advanced Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) and Moving Target Indicator (MTI) sensor capabilities. This project includes all MP-RTIP design, development, test, and integration efforts onto the GH Block 40 Platform. Integration activities include platform integration of the MP-RTIP sensor and sustainment support including logistics planning support. Future MP-RTIP studies and development insertion includes the implementation of maritime modes, airborne modes, electronic protection, technical refresh, product improvements and other advanced capabilities. The GH Block 40 development schedule was extended in Oct 11, moving IOT&E to FY14. The MP-RTIP program realigned workload under FY10 and FY11 funding to accommodate the extension. The FY12 funding request reflects the movement of planned radar software releases and Radar System Level Performance Verification (RSLPV) support activities. FY13 completes MP-RTIP sensor integration on Global Hawk, continues risk reduction activities, and starts planning and initial design work for MP-RTIP remaining requirements. Funding continues to provide MP-RTIP government acquisition support services necessary to complete MP-RTIP SDD, with emphasis on acquisition management, documentation delivery, EN oversight of System-Level Performance Verification (SLPV) and developmental contract closeout. MP-RTIP Other Government Costs also provide acquisition services for program office infrastructure, contract planning, and contract awards for remaining program requirements. Activities also include studies and analysis supporting current and future program planning and future modes development based on user requirements. This program is in Budget Activity 7, Operation System Development. It supports integration and testing of a developed sensor onto an operational platform.
