Operational Flight Program (OFP) Development

Abstract

M-Series and Software Capability Upgrade (SCU) programs enable the design and coding of software via an agile incremental cadence of 1-2 years and address efforts required to maintain current code, integrate new precision weapons, advanced targeting pods, and improved avionics to meet DoD mandates in order to modernize the A-10's architecture. Permit timely integration of new precision weapons, advanced pods, improved avionics and enhanced electronic warfare capabilities. These upgraded capabilities are in response to evolving operational requirements, including Urgent Operational Needs, generated by the ever-changing operational environment of air combat. RDT&E funds provide updates and incorporation of capabilities for weapons integration, targeting pod updates, and communication/navigation/data link improvements. These funds will ensure concurrency with systems impacted by Operational Flight Program (OFP) development, including but not limited to the Full Mission Trainer (FMT), mission planning and support equipment, as well as required upgrades to the Software Integration Laboratory (SIL). This OFP effort also contains Program Management Administration (PMA) support activities to include travel, office supplies, training courses, Video Teleconferencing (VTC) and support contractors.
