Description

Mission Civilian Compensation Program

The Tactical Terminal program provides Integrated Broadcast Service (IBS)-compatible terminals (radios) that access the IBS broadcast, providing Air Force warfighters strategic, operational, and tactical intelligence and threat warning information. The program also performs development, testing, and support efforts for software and hardware modifications/enhancements to tactical terminals. The Tactical Terminal family of systems provide both airborne and ground weapons systems transmit/receive and receive-only solutions. 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 0605827F, 0605828F, 0605829F, 0605831F, 0605832F, 0605833F, 0605898F, 0606398F. In FY2025, 0.000M is forecasted for civilian pay expenses in this program element. In FY2026, PE 0305158F, Tactical Terminal, Project 674139, Civilian Compensation efforts will be transferred to PE 0305158F, Tactical Terminal, Project 674395, Radio, in order to better align efforts with proper project.
