Abstract
The objective of the Aircraft Survivability Equipment (ASE) Development project is to improve Radio Frequency (RF) ASE for Army aviation. The APR-39 Radar Warning Receiver (RWR) detects, categorizes, and prioritizes Radio Frequency (RF) emitters and provides a visual / aural alert to aircrew members warning them of targeting by RF-guided weapons. The Milestone Decision Authority (MDA) approved Phases 1 and 2 of a 3-phased path forward. Phase 1 serves as an obsolescence / sustainment upgrade to the Processor Line Replaceable Unit (LRU) of the AN/APR-39A(V) Radar Warning Receiver (RWR) implemented to ensure that the currently fielded system remains viable until affordable improved RF ASE capability can be pursued in Phases 2 and 3. Phase 2, RWR Modernization, adopts the ongoing United States Navy Class I RWR Engineering Change Proposal (ECP), commonly referred to as the APR-39D(V)2 system. APR-39D(V)2 will significantly improve the near-spherical RF threat coverage, automatic detection and identification of threat types, bearing, and lethality. Under Phase 2, the Army will develop enhancements to the APR-39D(V)2, including integrated suite control functionality, threat correlation and off-boarding capability, and hardware upgrades needed to keep the APR-39D(V)2 technically relevant and address emerging Low Probability Intercept (LPI) and frequency agile threats. Phase 3 adds active Electronic Countermeasures (ECM) jamming capability for selected aircraft; Materiel Development Decision (MDD) for this ECM jamming capability phase is not expected until later in the Future Years Defense Program(FYDP). Justification: There is no Fiscal Year (FY) 2016 Base RDT&E dollar funding requirement for PE 655035 project EE3. FY16 justification is reported under ER7.
