ACQUISITION AND MEASUREMENT CAPABILITIES
Abstract
Provide the test community with the modern threat acquisition systems and effectiveness measurement systems necessary for Test and Evaluation of airborne alert, Situation Awareness, targeting systems and airborne response systems. Funding decreases from FY16 to FY17 due to the completion of the open-loop threat simulators. The funding increase from FY 2017 to FY 2018 supports upgrades to the Naval Air Warfare Center land and sea ranges to close capability gaps identified during the operational test (OT) planning for the Joint Strike Fighter (JSF) by Director, Operational Test and Evaluation (DOT&E). The gaps exist in several categories including threat density, type of threat and representation of specific threat systems and, if not mitigated, will prevent an effective OT for JSF. The requested funding will procure 12 systems, in four categories, that increase the threat density, threat type and specific threat representation and upgrade an additional two systems to provide a higher fidelity representation of several threat types. Additionally, funding supports the initiation of site preparation and integration for radar signal emulators and the requirement to purchase additional materials for the open air radio frequency beam measurement capability.
