Description
Mission — Air Base Resiliency
Tactical Deception is a Service program to provide a suite of technologies that will enable the USAF to minimize, distort, or create signatures. This includes technologies to confuse or mislead all major categories of adversary sensors. These capabilities can reduce confidence in adversary assessments, exhaust intelligence enterprises, and disrupt targeting cycles. In addition, these technologies and tactics techniques and procedures (TTPs) can be employed across the competition continuum for deterrence or advantage in conflict. Tac-D, CISR also supports all activities and costs needed to support the Air Force to further these types of development projects, as well as, required program support costs (PSC). This program element may include necessary civilian pay expenses required to manage, execute, and deliver weapon system capability. The use of such programs funds would be in addition to the civilian pay expenses budgeted in program element 0605829F, 0605831F, 0605833F, 0605898F, 0606398F. In FY24 $0 million was expended for civilian pay expenses in this program element, and in FY25 $200 thousand is forecasted for civilian pay expenses in this program element. This program is in Budget Activity 7, Operational System Development because this budget activity includes development efforts to upgrade systems that have been fielded or have received approval for full rate production and anticipate production funding in the current or subsequent fiscal year.
