Congressional Adds
Abstract
Congressional Add: (9E13A) Distributed Targeting Processor (DTP). The Navy will continue development of Distributed Targeting (DT)/Image Correlation Targeting (ICT) capabilities. This capability allows the F/A-18 E/F to self-target through the weather and mensurated target coordinates onboard the aircraft for use with precision weapons. Target Location Error is reduced to provide improvements in strike engagements against both fixed and moving, time sensitive and non-time sensitive targets. Precision targeting can be performed at ranges that result in improved platform survivability. Precision targeting can be performed autonomously providing improvements in naval extended range fires. DT/ICT capability of improved lethality is derived from reduced target location error that supports current J-series weapons and results in a shortened kill chain by performing on-board mensuration.
