Update 6 Interoperability

Abstract

Update 6 (U6) Interoperability, is an Operational Flight Program (OFP) update providing cryptographic updates required by the National Security Agency (NSA) to Intra-Flight Data Link (IFDL), Link-16, and Tactical Secure Voice (TSV) to maintain interoperability with Link-16 and secure voice networks. The U6 Interoperability program builds upon the development work already accomplished in the KOV-20 Cryptographic Modernization Program and integrates that development into a single OFP for fleet release. In addition, U6 Interoperability will correct other software deficiencies previously identified during operations. The F-22 Update 6 Program is conducted using a rapid acquisition construct leveraging commercial best practices such as Agile and Lean. This allows the F-22 Raptor program to develop, test, and field software/hardware from multiple programs (product lines) using a scheduled cadence for capabilities as they mature.
