Description

Mission NATO AGS

This program funds the U.S. support to the Alliance Ground Surveillance (AGS) system, a North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) program. AGS is an airborne ground surveillance capability that provides continuous, wide area surveillance in all weather conditions. It provides NATO decision makers with near real time information and situational awareness concerning friendly, neutral and opposing ground and maritime forces to support mission planning and execution, including force protection and targeting. All NATO nations have access to AGS collection data, creating opportunities for burden sharing with the processing and exploitation of Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) data. The AGS program includes both air and ground segments. The air segment consists of five (5) air vehicles based on unique exportable configurations of the United States Air Force Global Hawk air frame, Navy Triton command and control architecture and the U.S. Multi-Platform Radar Technology Insertion Program (MP-RTIP) radar. The U.S. integrated a new Maritime Moving Target and Inverse Synthetic Aperture Radar capability into the MP-RTIP radar for NATO AGS. The ground segment consists of fixed site and transportable/mobile ground stations for air vehicle Command and Control (C2), data exploitation and distribution. Operations and continuing In-Service Support is funded through the NATO Military Commanders' Capability Package within the NATO Security Investment Program (NSIP). This program element may include necessary civilian pay expenses required to manage, execute, and deliver NATO AGS. The use of such program funds would be in addition to the civilian pay expenses budgeted in program element 0605827F, 0605828F, 0605829F, 0605831F, 0605832F, 0605833F, 0605898F, 0606398F. In FY2025 $0.0M was expended for civilian pay expenses in this program element, and in FY2026 $0.0M 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.
