MM III Ultra High Frequency Reciever (UHF Reciever) - FY15 New Start

Abstract

The UHF Receiver program will replace current receiver which is becoming unsupportable. The UHF receiver is required to support airborne launch control from the E-6B. Airborne Launch Control System equipment on-board the E-6B communicates through the UHF receivers and provides sustained and survivable capability to transmit launch codes to ICBMs if LCCs are disabled. Current repair times for UHF receivers exceed 12 months due to parts obsolescence and additional spares cannot be procured.
