OPEN AIR RANGE INVESTMENTS
Abstract
This effort funds the modernization and upgrades of existing capabilities and the development of new T&E capabilities required at the Navy's Major Range Test Facility Base open air ranges at the Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division, Patuxent River, MD, Naval Air Warfare Center Weapons Division, Point Mugu, CA and China Lake, CA and Pacific Missile Range Facility, Kauai, HI. The funding decreased from FY15 to FY16 because the Range Support Aircraft (RSA) was purchased in FY15. The funding decreased from FY16 to FY17 because the avionics systems for the RSA were purchased in FY16. RSA will provide range clearance and Beyond Line-of-Sight Telemetry and Flight Termination Services on Navy sea ranges - primarily Pt. Mugu, CA and Pacific Missile Range Facility, HI. The current telemetry equipped P-3 aircraft must be replaced because the airframe is not supportable beyond FY19.
