Description

Description Aircraft Survivability Equipment

This funding line is a key enabler of the Future Long-Range Assault Aircraft (FLRAA) platform. The Aircraft Survivability Equipment (ASE) budget line includes ASE Laser Countermeasures (AZ3508) and ASE Radio Frequency Countermeasures (AZ3511). AZ3508 ASE Laser CM Army Procurement Objective (APO) = 1,988 (APO based on B-Kits) APO Ref: Approval of the Army Acquisition Objective /Army Procurement Objective Change Request Decision 25 Apr 2022 The AN/AVR-2B Laser Detecting Set (LDS) installed on Army rotary-wing aircraft passively detects laser-aided weapons targeting the aircraft and alerts aircrews, allowing them to engage the threat or maneuver to break the targeting. The system detects aircraft illumination by laser rangefinders, laser target designators, and laser beam rider surface-to-air missiles. The system provides the aircrew visual and aural warnings prioritized by threat lethality using 360 degree azimuth and 90 degree elevation field of view coverage. AN/AVR-2B is part of the suite of ASE mission equipment for FLRAA. AZ3511 Radio Frequency CM APO D(V)2 = 120 (APO based on B-Kits) APO E(V)2 = 1,988 (APO based on B-Kits) APO Ref: Approval of the Army Acquisition Objective /Army Procurement Objective Change Request Decision 25 Apr 2022 The objective of ASE Development project is to improve Radio Frequency (RF) ASE for Army aviation. The APR-39 Radar Warning Receiver (RWR) detects, categorizes, and prioritizes RF emitters and provides a visual / aural alert to aircrew members warning them of targeting by RF-guided weapons. The Milestone Decision Authority (MDA) approved Phases 1 and 2 of a 3-phased path forward. Phase 1, APR-39C(V)1/4, serves as an obsolescence / sustainment upgrade to the Processor Line Replaceable Unit (LRU) of APR-39A(V) RWR implemented to ensure that the currently fielded system remains viable until affordable improved RF ASE capability can be pursued in Phases 2 and 3. Phase 2A, RWR Modernization begins by adopting the United States Navy APR-39D(V)2 system. APR-39D(V)2 will significantly improve the RF threat coverage, automatic detection and identification of threat types, bearing and lethality. Phase 2B, the APR-39E(V)2 Modernized Radar Warning Receiver (MRWR), is an Army Engineering Change Proposal (ECP) to APR-39D(V)2, approved in the Acquisition Decision Memorandum (ADM) signed June 24, 2019. This ECP will implement enhanced hardware and software upgrades to keep APR-39 technically relevant against new and emerging agile threats. APR-39E(V)2 is part of the suite of ASE mission equipment for FLRAA. Phase 3 adds active Radio Frequency Electronic Countermeasures (RF-ECM) capability for selected aircraft with Material Development Decision (MDD) planned in the future.

Justification

Justification Aircraft Survivability Equipment

FY 2026 Base Procurement dollars in the amount of $19.866 million supports ASE Laser (AZ3508) funds training, technical support, government management, A-kit installation of (80) CH-47F A-Kits on Rotary Wing aircraft in support of required operational capabilities and integration of AN/AVR-2B LDS with other ASE systems. FY 2025 to FY 2026 funding decrease due to no A-Kit Procurements in FY 2026, and a decrease in the number of A-Kit installs from 83 to 80 units. FY 2026 Base Procurement dollars in the amount of $109.301 million supports Radio Frequency CM (AZ3511) funds procuring (48) APR-39E(V)2 A Kits, (48) APR-39E(V)2 A-Kit Installs, (24) APR-39E(V)2 B-Kits, spares, systems engineering support, mission data set (MDS), training, fielding, and government management. The FY 2026 request was reduced by $1.340 million for Advisory and Assistance Services to promote efficiencies and advance the policies of the Administration in alignment with Executive Order 14222, "Implementing the President's Department of Government Efficiency Cost Efficiency Initiative." Aircraft Survivability Equipment is part of the Army Transformation Initiative. In accordance with section 1815 of the FY 2008 National Defense Authorization Act (P.L. 110 - 181), this item is necessary for use by the active and reserve components of the Armed Forces for homeland defense missions, domestic emergency responses, and providing military support to civil authorities.
