Program Narratives

DescriptionNON-STANDARD AVIATION

The Non-Standard Aviation (NSAv) Line Item provides funding to purchase, modify, equip, and rapidly field Special Operations Forces (SOF) NSAv and C-27J aircraft. This line item also funds simulator block upgrades (SBUD) to NSAv training devices to address obsolescence, concurrency, and fidelity training issues. Low cost modifications of NSAv assets support worldwide SOF mobility and priority partner nation training. The NSAv program provides SOF with short take-off and landing capabilities in austere environments, as well as humanitarian assistance evolutions such as casualty and non-combatant evacuation operations.

JustificationNON-STANDARD AVIATION

1. NSAv. This effort supports worldwide SOF missions and must have flexible capabilities to facilitate Theater Special Operations Command (TSOC) tactical and strategic objectives. The NSAv program provides short take-off and landing, flexible and rapid, responsive operational support of special operations teams. Support to TSOCs and operational mission objectives include: SOF team mobility in austere and remote locations, casualty evacuation, non-combatant evacuation operations, and humanitarian assistance. FY 2026 BASE PROGRAM JUSTIFICATION: Procures and installs low cost modifications to NSAv C-146A mission systems to enhance aircraft capabilities such as, but not limited to, sensor, datalink, electrical and communication upgrades to meet mission requirements and allow for continued support of Special Operations Forces. FY 2025 to FY 2026 net increase of $2.378 million; $0.872 million decrease due to planned reduction in low-cost modifications for the NSAv platform, and $3.250 million increase to support long lead item procurement for C-27J cockpit upgrade.
