Foreword

The Air National Guard is an operational force providing vital combat capability to todays warfighter and a strategic hedge to an uncertain future. In addition, in its role as the air component of the militia, it provides essential capabilities to the state governors. The FY09 Air National Guard Weapons Systems Modernization Requirements book articulates the Air Guards modernization and recapitalization requirements to meet the capability needs of both constituents. This document is truly Warrior Derived, as the inputs were developed and vetted by the men and women on the front line at home and abroad. For fiscal year 2009, the Air National Guard has identified a modernization and recapitalization shortfall of over $8 billion dollars. Meeting the identified shortfalls improves our combat capability and domestic operations responsiveness in Precision Strike, Network Operations, 24-Hour Operations, and Enhanced Survivability. The National Guard works with the Air Force, other Services, the Department of Defense, allied nations, defense industry experts, and state leadership to find common modernization and sustainment solutions ideally suited to todays resource constrained environment. A recent highlight is our successful A-10 transformation, which resulted in the A-10A+ and culminated in the ANG being the first A-10C Precision Engagement unit deployed to Operation IRAQI FREEDOM and employed in combat immediately upon arrival. Our unique aviation heritage was born of pioneering individuals from the National Guard Signal Corps in 1908. In the early years, the National Guard was an avenue for aviation enthusiasts to apply innovation and creativity to explore military uses of a new invention. This spirit of innovation continues at the Air National Guard/Air Force Reserve Test Center to guide us as we seek to maintain the combat edge of our force. Today, the courage, commitment, and sacrifice of our Airmen continue to be a force multiplier and critical enabler as our nation prosecutes the Global War on Terrorism. I am truly grateful for the continued support you give us and our nation. Thank you.

CRAIG R. MCKINLEY Lieutenant General, USAF Director, Air National Guard

A-10

Close Air Support Forward Air Controller - Airborne Combat Search and Rescue

The ANG operates 92 A-10 aircraft across five wings, representing one third of the total U.S. combat A-10 forces.
The venerable A-10 continues to perform superbly in Operation ENDURING FREEDOM (OEF) and Operation IRAQI FREEDOM (OIF). This aircraft remains the premier close air support platform of choice. With eleven weapons stations and a targeting pod, the A-10 is able to engage any target with a wide variety of munitions. The A-10C (Precision Engagement) achieved initial operational capability in September 2007, led by the 175 WG and the 110 FW. These were the first units to convert from the A-10A to the A-10C and deployed to OIF in September 2007, the first combat use of the A-10C. Precision Engagement brings a data link and JDAM capability to theater, along with many other integrated cockpit and airframe improvements. The 124 FW and 111 FW completed their conversion to the A-10A+ Smart Multifunction Color Display and deployed to OIF from May September 2007. This deployment marked the first combat use of a data link by the A-10. The A-10A+ provides increased capability over the A-10A with a digital moving map, data link, and improved targeting pod functionality. The 188 FW will complete its conversion from F-16s to the A-10A in 2008, and will begin converting to the A-10C by years end. Other notable improvements include the ARC-210 digital radio which will add a SATCOM capability in the near future. A-10s are now fielding the AAR-47 which provides the pilot with an advanced missile warning system. A low cost Helmet Mounted Cueing System (HMCS) is in the initial testing stages.

Helmet Mounted Cueing System (HMCS) - Provides off-boresight day/night targeting capability and builds pilot situational awareness. Missile Warning System - Provides warning against man-portable IR threats and other surface-to-air-missiles (SAMs). A digital radar warning receiver (RWR) will significantly improve all RWR functions such as increased response time and radar threat identification / location. A second ARC-210 radio will replace the remaining A-10 legacy radios and provide a state-of-the-art communications suite. Lightweight Airborne Radio System (LARS) Upgrade - Provides increased situational awareness during Combat Search and Rescue (CSAR) Missions. Engine Upgrade - Required to increase agility at medium / high altitude, provide increased combat munitions loads, and sustain the A-10 for the next 20 years. Advanced Targeting Pods / 4th Generation Upgrade / Video Downlink - ANG A-10 units need an additional seven targeting pods to complete their allocated pod compliment. In addition, all targeting pods require a 4th generation upgrade to enhance overall targeting pod employment and a video downlink (VDL) capability.

INFORMATION PAPER ON A-10 DAY/NIGHT HELMET MOUNTED CUEING SYSTEM (HMCS) 1. Background. The addition of a day/night helmet mounted cueing system will significantly increase pilot situational awareness (SA), aircraft survivability, and lethality in every mission area. With the capability to cue sensors and weapons off-boresight, using a helmet line of sight (LOS) as the aiming reference, pilots can quickly engage targets of opportunity while still identifying friendly positions via data-link and other means. This enhances time sensitive targeting capabilities and reduces the risk of fratricide and collateral damage. The ability to see these locations outside the head-up display (HUD) allows the pilot to quickly build a three dimensional picture of the battle space and eliminates the need to fly near the target area, greatly reducing threat exposure. Due to extensive night operations, the HMCS must be compatible with current night vision goggles (NVG) and wide field of view (WFOV) NVGs. 2. Requirement.

INFORMATION PAPER ON A-10 MISSILE WARNING SYSTEM 1. Background. The A-10 flies many of its missions at altitudes where it is particularly vulnerable to shoulder-launched, infrared (IR) surface-to-air missiles (SAM). The aircraft needs a missile warning system that notifies the pilot when a SAM is launched and automatically dispenses counter-measures. The AN/AAR-47 is a passive, missileapproach warning system that when installed on the A-10 consists of four IR sensor assemblies, a central processing unit and a control indicator. The AAR-47 is capable of detecting missile launches from 360 degrees around the aircraft. 2. Requirement. CAF 315-92-I/II/III Interim Close Air Support/ Interdiction and Covert Infrared Countermeasures (IRCM) Combat Mission Need Statement (Nov 01). 3. Impact if Not Funded.

INFORMATION PAPER ON A-10 DIGITAL RECEIVER, THREAT GEO-LOCATION AND SYSTEM IMPROVEMENT/REPLACEMENT FOR ALR-69 RADAR WARNING RECEIVER (RWR) 1. Background. The current ALR-69 RWR provides threat radar warning indications to pilots for the A-10 as well as providing threat information to the ALQ-213. The legacy ALR-69 has subassemblies that are no longer supportable, is unable to provide acceptable defensive situational awareness and is incapable of supporting the onboard/off board warfighter requirements. Specific performance shortfalls include inadequate response time, overload conditions, unacceptable identification performance, inadequate threat detection capability, unacceptable threat geo-location and lack of digital information. Upgrading the legacy RWR with a modification that incorporates an advanced digital receiver or replacing it (internal or embedded with an advanced Electronic Attack pod) will address the aforementioned issues while providing accurate passive targeting information. The ability to pass target quality emitter coordinates to any net-centric aircraft is a key component of Air Combat Commands Sensors Forward concept of operations. This capability will enhance the Air Forces ability to safely prosecute assigned missions in a more lethal threat environment. 2. Requirement. A-10 Electronic Warfare Capability Development Document (In coordination).

INFORMATION PAPER ON A-10 IMPROVED RADIO COMMUNICATIONS 1. Background. The A-10 requires a multi-band and multi-mode digital radio that includes satellite communications (SATCOM). The SATCOM capability will allow beyond-line-of-sight (BLOS) data and communication connectivity to a variety of command centers and higher headquarters to improve time-sensitive targeting. This feature will greatly aid the A-10 in all mission areas, specifically in the forward air controller-airborne (FAC-A), combat search and rescue (CSAR) role and close air support (CAS) missions. The new radio should be able to interface with other aircraft sub-systems such as the Smart Multi-Function Color Display (SMFCD) and Precision Engagement (PE) architecture. A second ARC-210 radio will complete the A-10 voice communications suite and provide higher performance and reliability than current legacy radios. The second ARC-210 can be secure line of sight (SLOS) if a BLOS radio is already installed. 2. Requirement. Combat Air Forces (CAF) Operational Requirements Document CAF 401-91-I/II/III-D for A/OA-10 Aircraft Multi-Staged Improvement Program (MSIP). CENTAF Urgent Need Request (UNR), May 06. 3.

INFORMATION PAPER ON A-10 LIGHTWEIGHT AIRBORNE RADIO SYSTEM (LARS) UPGRADE 1. Background. There are numerous fielded combat search and rescue (CSAR) survival radios that provide a wide spectrum of capability. Survival radios range from the basic PRC-90 to the PRQ-7 Combat Survivor-Evader Locator (CSEL) radio. The newer radios offer more accurate information to CSAR forces attempting to rescue downed survivors. The AN/ARS-6 Lightweight Airborne Radio System (LARS) cockpit radio currently installed in the A-10 can only display range and bearing to the survivor. The AN/ARS V12 is now capable of providing geographic coordinates and text messaging transmitted from the newer survival radios such as CSEL and the Hook-112G. The V12 is smaller than the original AN/ARS-6 radio and will fit into existing space in the cockpit and aircraft bays. The reduced size will permit the AAR-47 Missile Warning System to coexist with the LARS V12 in the only available aircraft bay. 2. Requirement.

INFORMATION PAPER ON A-10 ENGINE UPGRADE 1. Background. The A-10 has documented thrust deficiencies in its operational environment. In order to meet Combatant Commander tasking at high-density altitude locations, A-10 pilots must reduce fuel loads, restrict take-off times to early morning hours, or refuse tasking that increases gross weights to unsupportable and unsafe limits. In addition, the aircraft does not perform well at medium/high altitudes putting pilots at increased risk for threats and forcing commanders to provide separate A-10 air refueling tracks. For the past ten years the Air National Guard/Air Force Reserve Weapons and Tactics Conference has listed engine upgrades as a high priority for the A-10. 2. Requirement. Concept Development Document (CDD) approved 17 Mar 05 by the Air Force Requirements Operational Capability Council (AFROCC). CDD Version 1.1 approved 21 Apr 06. 3. Impact If Not Funded. A-10 mission success is based on the ability of the airframe to adequately perform the assigned mission. Tasking has migrated from low altitude (the design criteria of the aircraft) to medium/high altitude. Future viability as a persistent, lethal platform is dependent on adequate thrust and agility in a maximum gross weight configuration both at take-off and medium/high altitude. 4. Units Impacted.

INFORMATION PAPER ON A-10 ADVANCED TARGETING POD (ATP) and VIDEO DOWNLINK (VDL) 1. Background. Procurement of advanced targeting pods (ATP) has been an ANG top priority for the past several years. In order to achieve the required 2:1 aircraft to ATP ratios and requisite spares, the ANG requires 193 pods. A total of 136 Northrop Grumman LITENING and 27 Lockheed Martin Sniper XR targeting pods have been funded between FY98 and FY07. ATPs feature star-of-the-art technology which allows full weapons exploitation and comprehensive ANG participation in contingency operations. Current pods employ third generation forward looking infrared (FLIR), electro-optical television / charge-coupled devices (CCD), and laser spot search and track (LSS/LST), to offer exceptional stand-off capability and the ability to target J-series weapons. The ANG is 30 pods short of its total requirement. Modernization with fourth generation capability (1K FLIR, 1K CCD) will bring vastly improved day and night target acquisition as well as combat identification at extended ranges in both air-toground and air-to-air roles. The ANG requires fourth generation capability on all ATPs. ATP video downlink (VDL) provides streaming pod video to Tactical Air Control Parties (TACPs) and Joint Terminal Attack Controllers (JTACs) equipped with ROVER III terminals. The ANG fielded 24 10-watt LITENING ATP VDL kits and has an additional 66 25-watt LITENING ATP VDL kits on contract to deliver in 2008. Funding is required to upgrade all remaining LITENING and Sniper XR ATPs with VDL. 2. Requirement. CENTAF Urgent Need Request, Nov 04. 3. Impact If Not Funded. If not funded ANG will be unable to effectively fulfill its AEF tasking and have reduced capability relative to target acquisition and identification. 4. Units Impacted.

C-5

GALAXY

The Air National Guard will operate 50 percent of the USAF C-5A fleet by the end of FY09. Currently the ANG has thirteen C-5s at the 105 AW in Stewart ANGB, New York. The 167 AW, Martinsburg, West Virginia, and 164 AW, Memphis, Tennessee received C-5 aircraft and have begun operational missions. The C-5 Galaxy, with its tremendous payload capability, provides AMC intertheater airlift in support of US national defense. The C-5 flys passenger and outsized or oversized cargo airlift, airland, and special operations missions even under adverse conditions. With the C-5s unique visor door and kneeling capability, the aircraft can both load and offload (roll on/roll off) simultaneously. The aircraft can carry fully equipped, combat-ready military units to any point in the world on short notice, then provide field support required to help sustain the fighting force. The West Virginia Air National Guards 167 Airlift Wing, which recently gained the Galaxy, flew to Djibouti to deliver two MH-53E Super Stallion helicopters and more than 60 Marines supporting Combined Joint Task Force-Horn of Africa. Stewart ANGB is the only Air National Guard Base in the country with a C-5 flight simulator. The cockpit of Stewarts flight simulator is nearly identical to a C-5s cockpit. Every button, lever and gauge has the exact same function, and is in the same location as it would be on the real aircraft. Equipped with a high-resolution visual system that produces fullcolor imagery, trainees get to experience the benefits of enhanced graphic displays while flying the C-5 flight simulator. The C-5 flight simulator is supported by hydraulic lifts, which move the simulators cab around while in operation. From takeoff to landing, everything from high turbulence to rough landings can be felt by trainees flying the simulator. It also simulates other situations such as engine stalls, dangerous wind and rain conditions, mechanical failures, and poor runway conditions.

INFORMATION PAPER ON C-5 AIRCRAFT DEFENSIVE SYSTEM (ADS) 1. Background. Only C-5Bs are equipped with the Aircraft Defensive System (ADS) permitting operation in hostile areas. The ANG operates only C-5As, none of which have a defensive system installed. The C-5Bs ADS consists of an AAR-47A(V)2 Missile Warning System (MWS) and an ALE-47. This system adequately counters shoulder-fired, Man Portable Air Defense Systems (MANPADS) infrared seeking missiles that are widely available and a significant threat during take-offs and landings. Equipping the ANG C-5As with ADS would greatly enhance aircraft survivability, effectively doubling the in-theater fleet size as well as dramatically reducing stress to both AMC and the C-5B fleet. 2. Requirement. MAC Statement of Needs (SON) 07-81, for Defensive Systems on Airlift Aircraft and Airlift Defensive Systems (ADS) Operational Requirements Document (ORD), 20781-III, approved 2 Aug 1995; Program Management Directive (PMD) 2349(6), 8 Aug 2005. 3. Impact If Not Funded. C-5As will remain unable to fly into Central Command (CENTCOM) airfields reducing the effective fleet size by half and continuing to stress the C-5B fleet. Loss or damage of aircraft and loss of life from MANPADS will adversely impact Air Force missions. 4. Units Impacted.

INFORMATION PAPER ON C-5 SURFACE TO AIR FIRE (SAFIRE) LOOKOUT CAPABILITY CHECK 6 1. Background. During Operation IRAQI FREEDOM (OIF) and Operation ENDURING FREEDOM (OEF) 'look-outs' are directed to stand at the troop doors and view out the porthole windows from Combat Entry through the Combat Exit checklists. Loadmasters position themselves at the troop doors to scan the ground and horizon for Surface-To-Air Fire (SAFIRE) launches. Upon detection, Loadmasters immediately call-out evasive maneuver reactions to the pilots and dispense defensive flares as a means of preventing a direct SAFIRE hit. Windows used for observation in C-5s are relatively small with a restricted field of view. Loadmasters experience neck and back strain while striving to maintain their head in position against the window to obtain an aft-angled view out the porthole. Furthermore, the window glass is typically scratched and scuffed to the point that viewing becomes difficult. 2. Requirement. AMC Validated AF Form 1067; C-5 R&PC, AMCFEB070108-04-064. 3. Impact if not funded. When Loadmasters don helmets, flack vests, survival vests, NVGs, and then attempt to look out the troop door porthole during a tactical departure, vision is restricted. Without a clear, wide-angle view from the 3 o'clock to 9 o'clock continuum behind the aircraft, SAFIRE launches could go undetected during critical phases of flight. Undetected SAFIRE launches could result in a projectile striking the aircraft resulting in damage to the aircraft or loss of life. 4. Units Impacted.

GLOBEMASTER III

C-17s currently perform all strategic air evacuation actions from Operations ENDURING FREEDOM and IRAQI FREEDOM to Germany and points west. The Mississippi Air National Guard has returned over 19,000 patients safely to Germany and United Sates from Iraq via the C-17 Aeromedical Evacuation mission. During the same period, the unit transported 10,375 tons of cargo. The C-17 is the Nations core military airlifter and the only aircraft capable of delivering outsize cargo to small, austere airfields. It is also capable of aerial delivery, night vision goggle (NVG) operations, nuclear weapons transportation, and aeromedical evacuation. The C-17 provides the flexibility to support both intertheater and intratheater missions and allows AMC to significantly improve throughput during contingency operations. The Air National Guard operates eight C-17s at the 172 Airlift Wing in Jackson, Mississippi. A second unit, the154 Wing at Hickam AFB, Hawaii, is the first ANG C-17 PACAF associate unit; with the second associate C-17 wing being established by the 176 Wing, Elmendorf AFB, AK. A 172 AW C-17 airlifted a critical piece of equipment to assist rescue operations for six the Utah miners, who had been trapped deep inside the Crandall Canyon Coal Mine. Within hours of receiving the request for help from the Utah Governor, an airlift operation was coordinated for the vital piece of underground video equipment for the rescue efforts.

INFORMATION PAPER ON C-17 INDIVIDUAL CREW POSITION FLARE DISPENSE SWITCHES 1. Background. Worldwide proliferation of small arms and shoulder-fired infrared (IR) missiles makes mobility aircraft vulnerable to attack during low-altitude operations, particularly during approach and landing. Visual threat detection and reaction have become increasingly important based upon multiple real world missile attacks on air mobility and commercial cargo aircraft. The C-17 fleet has no means to manually dispense flares from the rear scanner position. Manual flare dispense switches are particularly important as C-17s land and operate in increased threat locations. The manual flare dispense switch modification is critical for supporting Operations IRAQI FREEDOM and ENDURING FREEDOM (OIF/OEF). 2. Requirement. Air Force Reserve Command CPC; Air Mobility Command CORT, Combatant Commander Defensive System Requirement. 3. Impact if not funded. An individual crew position flare dispense switch capability provides an increased capability and covers a gap during specific phases of flight to counter and defeat threats. C-17s remain vulnerable to infrared seeking weapons. During combat operations, delayed missile calls by the crewmember that has a visual with the missile may be delayed in alerting the pilots, risking damage to aircraft and potential loss of life. 4.

INFORMATION PAPER ON C-17 STICK-MOUNTED EXPENDABLE DISPENSE SWITCH 1. Background. This C-17 modification proposal provides the capability for the pilot and copilot to dispense chaff and flares on the ANG C-17 fleet to enhance survivability in a combatthreat environment. Providing an stick-mounted expendable dispense switch capability is critical in mitigating the surface-to-air threats currently encountered by airlift aircrews in high threat environments. 2. Requirement. Air Force Reserve Command CPC; Air Mobility Command CORT, Combatant Commander Defensive System Requirement. 3. Impact if not funded. The stick-mounted expendable dispense switch capability provides an increased capability and covers a gap during specific phases of flight to counter and defeat threats most often faced by deployed crews. These crews will be operating in this environment for the foreseeable future and an immediate need exists to enhance and augment their ability to survive and accomplish the mission. C-17s remain vulnerable to infrared seeking weapons. During combat operations, delayed dispensing of expendable will risk damage to aircraft and potential loss of life. 4. Units Impacted.

40 percent of the Air Force C-130 fleet resides in the Air National Guard (ANG).

MC-130, HC-130, LC-130, & EC-130J Commando Solo

C-130: In FY 07, ANG C-130s flew over 11,000 hours in support of Operation ENDURING FREEDOM and over 4200 hours in Operation IRAQI FREEDOM. Additionally, ANG C-130s flew over 7700 hours in support of Operations CORNET OAK, JOINT ENTERPRISE, DEEP FREEZE, and JUMP START. The ANG will be the first to field a new cockpit from C-130 Avionics Modernization Program (AMP), and is the lead for operational test and evaluation. Procurement efforts continue for Advanced laser based Infrared Countermeasure (IRCM) system and APN-241 low-power color radar. Testing is underway for Electronic Propeller Control System (EPCS), and eight-bladed propellers (NP-2000). Finally, the ANG is adding enhanced capability by pursuing situational awareness datalink displays, yoke-mounted chaff/flare dispenser switches, and Virtual Electronic Combat Training System (VECTS). HC/MC/LC-130/EC-130J: The Air National Guard provides 35 percent of the Air Forces HC/MC-130 Combat Search and Rescue (CSAR) air refueling capability. Air National Guard HC/MC-130s provide Combat Commanders (COCOMs) vital long-range, all weather CSAR capability while deployed during contingency operations. The HC-130Ns of Alaskas 176 Wing maintain 24-hour alert coverage and provide specialized rescue capability to 11AF through the 11AF Rescue Coordination Center. The California ANGs 129 Rescue Wing fly the only MC-130Ps in the Air National Guard. The HC-130P/Ns of the New York ANGs 106 Rescue Wing provide SAR coverage for the east coast while supporting rescue alert missions for periodic space shuttle launches. The AN/AAQ-24 LAIRCM continues as a critical aircraft defense modification program for a portion of the ANG HC/MC-130s while full funding is sought for the remainder. Upcoming modernization includes AN-ARS-6v12 LARS for ANG HC/MC-130s. LC-130: ANG LC-130s perform a unique mission: landing a large cargo aircraft directly on snowfields in remote areas of the Arctic and Antarctic. Keeping this aircraft safe is challenging because of austere operating and harsh environmental conditions. A new mission radar, propulsion modernization, and JATO production are required to continue operations for this difficult mission. The 193 SOW, PA has completed its conversion from the EC130E to the EC130J aircraft. Three EC130Js are fully mission capable hard-wired Commando Solos, while four wait funding to complete the conversion.

INFORMATION PAPER ON C-130E/H/J SURFACE-TO-AIR FIRE OBSERVER REAR LOOKOUT CAPABILITY 1. Background. During Operation IRAQI FREEDOM (OIF) and Operation ENDURING FREEDOM (OEF) loadmasters stand watch at the porthole windows in the troop doors to scan check six the ground and horizon for Surface-to-Air Fire (SAFIRE) from the Combat Entry through the Combat Exit checklists. Upon detection of SAFIRE, loadmasters immediately advise the pilots to take evasive action, and initiate counter measures as a means of preventing a direct SAFIRE hit. Windows used for observation in C-130s are relatively small with a restricted field of view. Loadmasters experience neck and back strain while striving to maintain their position against the window to obtain an aft-angled view out the porthole. Furthermore, the window glass is typically scratched and scuffed to the point that viewing becomes difficult. 2. Requirement. AMC Validated AF Form 1067-04-064; AMC R&PC Critical Item. 3. Impact if not funded. When loadmasters don helmets, flack vests, survival vests, NVGs, and attempt to look out the troop door porthole during a tactical departure, vision is extremely restricted. Without a clear, wide-angle view from the 3 o'clock to 9 o'clock continuum behind the aircraft, SAFIRE launches could go undetected during critical phases of flight. Undetected SAFIRE launches could result in damage to equipment and potentially loss of the aircraft and injury to the crew. 4. Units Impacted.

INFORMATION PAPER ON C-130 TACTICAL DATA LINK (TDL) 1. Background. Recent combat operations highlighted the need for comprehensive, networked command and control (C2) throughout all theaters of operation. Installation of a TDL provides this C2 link and maximizes C-130 aircrew situational awareness with Beyond-Line-of-Sight (BLOS) and Line-of-Sight (LOS) capabilities. It provides critical real-time information to C-130 aircrews so they can participate in the present day network-centric battlespace and greatly increase their survivability in combat operations. The resulting connectivity with C2 elements enhances the situational awareness of C-130 tactical aircraft including joint and coalition aircraft involved in theater operations. A TDL capability should be compatible with any situational awareness Cockpit Display Units (CDU) utilized by the community. 2. Requirement.

INFORMATION PAPER ON C-130 SITUATIONAL AWARENESS COCKPIT DISPLAY UNIT (CDU) 1. Background. C-130 aircrews lack equipment to gain timely battlespace knowledge of enemy threats, friendly positions, and other pertinent wartime information. The ability to view real-time data provides aircrew flexibility to adjust to situations as they unfold. Information such as GPS position on a moving map, real-time threat data, weather updates, and electronic flight publications must be available at the pilots fingertips for immediate viewing to increase mission effectiveness. The CDU should be expandable to accommodate future tactical data link information to further enhance C-130 survivability. 2. Requirement.

INFORMATION PAPER ON C-130 LOADMASTER CRASHWORTHY SEAT 1. Background. Air National Guard C-130 aircraft do not have a designated loadmaster seat in the cargo compartment designed to withstand excessive impact or wheels-up landing forces. Yet while carrying troops or passengers in the cargo compartment, the loadmaster is the crewmember responsible for ensuring their safe and expeditious evacuation of the aircraft during emergency egress situations (i.e. wheels-up landing). During Operation IRAQI FREEDOM (OIF) and Operation ENDURING FREEDOM (OEF) loadmasters are directed to stand at the troop doors for up to 8 hours while performing the Combat Entry and Combat Exit checklists. Loadmasters don a strap restraint harness and take positions at the troop doors to scan the ground for Surfaceto-Air Fire (SAFIRE). Due to the design, the restraint harness is only authorized during approaches and after departure, and not for use during takeoff and landing. The restraint harness is physically demanding on the legs, spine, shoulders and arms during low-level turbulence, thermal drafts, and combat and evasive maneuvers. 2. Requirement. AMC Validated AF Form 1067-04-065; Class A Mishap MC-130P 20020213FTEV016A SIB 2 Recommendation; Class A Mishap MC-130H 20020612FTEV033A Report, ORS 6; Fall 04/05/06/07 AMC R&PC Mission Critical Item. 3. Impact if not funded. The Safety Investigation Board (SIB) for an MC-130P Class A mishap recommended the development and procurement of a load master crashworthy seat. The same recommendation was made for an MC-130H Class A mishap in the Other Recommendation of Significance (ORS) section. If the loadmaster becomes a casualty during the wheels-up landing or impact due to inadequate restraint, not only does the Air Force lose a valuable resource, but expeditious evacuation of troops or passengers is jeopardized and survivability is at risk. 4.

INFORMATION PAPER ON C-130 DIGITAL RECEIVER, THREAT GEO-LOCATON AND SYSTEM IMPROVEMENT/REPLACEMENT FOR ALR-69 RADAR WARNING RECEIVER (RWR) 1. Background. The current ALR-69 RWR provides the aircrew with threat radar warning indications. The legacy ALR-69 has subassemblies that are no longer supportable, is unable to provide acceptable defensive situational awareness and is incapable of supporting the onboard/off board warfighter requirements. Specific performance shortfalls include inadequate response time, overload conditions, unacceptable identification performance, inadequate threat detection capability, unacceptable threat geo-location and lack of digital information. Upgrading the legacy RWR with a modification that incorporates an advanced digital receiver or replacing it will address the aforementioned issues while providing accurate passive targeting information. The ability to pass target quality emitter coordinates to any net-centric aircraft is a key component of Air Combat Commands Sensors Forward concept of operations and a flow down requirement for mobility aircraft. This capability will enhance the Air Forces ability to safely prosecute assigned missions in a more lethal threat environment. 2. Requirement. AN/ALR-69A Capabilities Production Document approved by AFROCC, 17 Nov 05. 3. Impact if Not Funded. The ability of C-130s to operate today in an increasingly complex and lethal threat environment is significantly impacted by aircraft with an inadequate RWR or no RWR. A combination of more lethal environments and future threat systems will create denied access regions for legacy ALR-69 equipped C-130s significantly impacting combatant commander and Air Force mission requirements. 4.

INFORMATION PAPER ON C-130 MISSILE APPROACH WARNING SYSTEM UPGRADE 1. Background. ANG C-130s operate worldwide in a low to medium threat environment where shoulder-fired, Man-Portable Air Defense System (MANPAD) infrared-seeking missiles are widely available. This threat is significant during take-offs and landings. To counter MANPAD threats the ANG requires a missile warning system that has a very high probability of detecting a missile launch as well as a very low false alarm rate. The missile approach warning system works in conjunction with pyrotechnic expendables and/or laser based countermeasures. An upgrade to the existing missile warning system or a more advanced missile warning system is required for the C-130 to provide operationally acceptable probabilities of detection and false alarms. 2. Requirement. AMC ANNEX 314-92 to LAIRCM ORD; NAVY AAR-47 ORD. 3. Impact if Not Funded. The C-130 operates in environments of increasing levels of threat complexity and lethality without pre-planned threats and therefore must have a robust MANPAD self defense capability. C-130 defensive systems that do not meet acceptable rates of detection and false alarms will result in either denied areas or loss of personnel and equipment. 4. Units Impacted.

INFORMATION PAPER ON C-130 INTEGRATED NIGHT VISION IMAGING SYSTEM (NVIS) COCKPIT LIGHTING 1. Background. Flying with night vision goggles requires special cockpit lighting to ensure goggles perform properly. The original solution to place tape over high intensity lighting to decrease its intensity was primitive and presented a high safety risk. The emergence of lighting harnesses were designed and installed in C-130 cockpits to ensure compatibility with NVIS. However, the harnesses were not intended to be a long-term solution to the lighting problem. Newer C-130H3 aircraft have integrated NVIS cockpit lightning. Current lightning harnesses lack compatibility with some cockpit instrument lighting. 2. Requirement. Fall 06/07 E/H/AMP AMC R&PC Categorized as Mission Essential. 3. Impact if not funded. Integrated NVIS compatible cockpit provides an increased capability for aircrew during night operations. These crews will be operating in this environment for the foreseeable future and an immediate need exists to enhance and augment their ability to survive and accomplish the mission. 4.

INFORMATION PAPER ON C-130 YOKE MOUNTED DISPENSE SWITCHES (YMDS) 1. Background. This C-130 modification proposal provides the capability for the pilot and copilot to dispense chaff and flares on the ANG C-130 fleet to enhance survivability in a combat threat environment. Providing a yoke-mounted chaff and flare dispense capability is critical to mitigate the surface-to-air threats currently encountered by airlift aircrews. The modification is part of the C-130 avionics modernization program (AMP) and desired by aircrews for several years. Deployment of this capability for ANG C-130s, provides great benefit for a relatively low cost. The modification is AMP-compliant and like the C-130 APN-241 radar modification (also part of AMP), it provides capability to the field now rather than waiting for a modification that may be realized too late to protect our aircrews currently flying in combat. 2. Requirement. AMC Validated 1067-04-024. Fall 06/07 E/H/AMP AMC R&PC Categorized as Mission Need. 3. Impact if not funded. YMDS provide an increased capability and cover a gap during specific phases of flight to counter and defeat threats most often faced by deployed crews. In the absence of this capability, the aircrew may take longer to react to a threat which increases the risk of damage to the aircraft and potential loss of aircrew. 4. Units Impacted.

INFORMATION PAPER ON HC/MC-130 TACTICAL DATA LINK (TDL) 1. Background. Combat Search and Rescue (CSAR) forces require improved situational awareness (SA). A tactical data link provides during Combat Search and Rescue Task Force (CSARTF) operations. With this capability, CSAR forces can quickly locate and recover survivors and provide critical data to command and control (C2) nets, and protective fighter and attack aircraft. The HC/MC-130 needs to be networked with other assets in theater to ensure enhanced SA for CSARTF missions and reduce the potential for fratricide among CSAR forces. The proposed solution is the Enhanced Position Location Radio System (EPLRS) with Situational Awareness Data Link (SADL) software because it is the solution possessed or being pursued by other CSAR platforms (HH-60G, A-10, Block 30 F-16s). The long term solution will be a Joint Tactical Radio System (JTRS) with similar capabilities. 2. Requirement. CAF MNS 315-92, Real Time Information in the Cockpit (RTIC). Global Information Grid CRD, JROCM 134-01, 30 Aug 01. Air Force Tactical Data Link Master Plan. 3. Impact If Not Funded. Real time information into and out of the cockpit (RTIC/RTOC) is critical to CSAR, drop-zone identification, and threat analysis while reducing voice communications. Lack of RTIC through a data link creates high potential for mission failures, lost aircrew, and lost aircraft due to lack of situational awareness and airspace management in the battle area. The communications suites of ANG rescue aircraft will not be interoperable with CSAR force packages. 4. Units Impacted.

INFORMATION PAPER ON HC/MC-130 ENHANCED AIRBORNE MISSION COMMANDER (AMC) 1. Background. Rescues performed in combat and in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina highlight the need to modernize the HC/MC-130 role as Airborne Mission Commander. Realtime information exchange is paramount during personnel recovery operations requiring great precision and speed in asymmetric battle space environments. Recent technical advancements provide the means to integrate existing HC/MC-130 sensors with modern off-board processors and data links facilitating superior C2 and tactical coordination from either an overhead or offset orbit. Equipping HC-130 AN/AAQ-36 and the MC130P AN/AAQ-38 electro-optical, infrared sensors with a Full Motion Video (FMV) link capability relieves reliance on high-demand ISR assets. Integrating eye-safe laser range finder, illuminator and designator capabilities to Find, Fix and Track (F2T) targets of interest, or to precisely commensurate survivor location information, takes the search out of search and rescue and provides the Combined Force Air Component Commander (CFACC) with a powerful collaboration tool in uncertain tactical environments. PC-based smart multi-function displays with off-board processing capability provide the flexibility, power and storage capacity to manage time-critical digital information without upgrading the legacy 1553 data bus and navigation systems. Persistent orbits require reduced acoustics and increased performance to reach and maintain higher altitudes minimizing threat exposure during clandestine operations. 2. Requirement. Critical capability required by US Air Force Central Command (CENTCOM) to integrate and synchronize CSAR with time-sensitive Combat Air Forces and Special Operations Force operations; and an essential capability for homeland security and natural disaster response. Tactical Line-of-Site/Beyond-Line-of-Site data link is a key enabler. Expect CENTCOM Urgent Operational Need (UON). 3. Impact If Not Funded. The CSAR task force has no organic FMV capability; no precision marking for fixed or dynamic targets; and no Find, Fix and Track (F2T) capability for cross cueing. CSAR is reliant on low-density, high demand weapons systems to provide these critical capabilities during recovery operations despite on-going tactical requirements of equal priority. 4.

INFORMATION PAPER ON HC/MC-130 LIGHTWEIGHT AIRBORNE RADIO SYSTEM (LARS) AN/ARS-6 V12 UPGRADE 1. Background. Numerous fielded combat search and rescue (CSAR) survival radios provide a wide spectrum of capability. Survival radios range from the basic PRC-90 to the Combat Survivor-Evader Locator (CSEL) radio. However, newer radios offer more accurate information to CSAR forces attempting to rescue the downed survivor. The AN/ARS-6 Lightweight Airborne Radio System (LARS) cockpit radio currently installed in the HH-60, HC-130 and A10, can only display range and bearing to the survivor. The AN/ARS-6V12 LARS radio will allow rescue forces to receive and display geographic coordinates, and text messages sent by isolated personnel using newer generation survival radios thereby greatly increasing the probability of a successful mission. 2. Requirement. HC/MC-130 Mission Area Plan. 3. Impact If Not Funded. CSAR missions will continue to be hampered by a lack of coordination and accurate information. This could result in failed missions to rescue downed aircrews and their potential capture by enemy forces. 4. Units Impacted.

INFORMATION PAPER ON HC/MC-130 DUAL SATCOM 1. Background. The HC/MC130 is the airborne mission commander (AMC) platform of choice for combat search and rescue (CSAR) and joint personnel recovery operations during peacetime and combat. The ability to transmit and receive voice, data or both, on two separate satellite communications (SATCOM) channels has emerged as a critical capability enhancing command and control as well as situational awareness. Dual SATCOM specifically facilitates several additional capabilities required in the Global War on Terrorism including: (1) ability to transmit and receive on two separate networks requiring different Communications Security (COMSEC); (2) ability to facilitate beyond line-of-sight (BLOS) data link in remote environments; (3) redundancy for high risk missions where SATCOM is the only means of external communication. Dual SATCOM must have 100% compatibility with existing CSAR/SOF task force SATCOM systems used in the air and by ground forces; a requirement that holds especially true for Demand Assigned Multiple Access (DAMA) communications. Dual SATCOM must have ability to operate simultaneously. 2. Requirement. Critical capability required by US Air Forces Central Command (CENTCOM) to integrate and synchronize CSAR with time-sensitive combat air forces (CAF) and special operations forces (SOF) operations; and an essential capability for homeland security and natural disaster response. Expect CENTCOM Urgent Operational Need (UON). 3. Impact If Not Funded. Inability to meet current requirements for tactical to operational level communications in the Global War on Terrorism. 4.

INFORMATION PAPER ON HC/MC/LC -130 ELECTRONIC PROPELLER CONTROL SYSTEM (EPCS) 1. Background. The Electronic Propeller Control System (EPCS) replaces current (1950s design) mechanical valve housings and synchrophaser (1970s) with modern Electronic Valve Housings and Electronic Propeller Controls. The EPCS enhances performance because of improved synchrophasing during ground operations and improved responsiveness from the controls (very little delay after making throttle adjustments). Pilots report instant response to throttle adjustments (verses delays experienced by the current systems) and noise and vibration generated from the current system due to inefficient synchrophasing is reduced by 400%. Also, the new system has a higher system reliability with a direct improvement to readiness and availability. This EPCS has an estimated Mean Time Between Failure (MTBF) rate increase to approximately 12,000 hours, or 8 times the MTBF of the current system. Parts count is reduced by almost half and the digital electronics dont wear out or need adjustment. The system has built in diagnostics and all adjustments are automatically completed. The EPCS also improves crew comfort and reduces maintenance actions (due to vibration damage). The Navy has already incorporated this system in the P-2 aircraft and they have documented a 4% increase in mission completion due directly to the use of the EPCS. 2. Requirement. AMC Validated 1067. 3. Impact if not funded. If not funded the LC/HC/MC-130 aircraft would not benefit from the improved performance, increased mission availability, or reduced maintenance and operational costs of the EPCS. Also, the EPCS is a pre-requisite component for the eight-bladed propeller. 4. Units Impacted.

INFORMATION PAPER ON HC/MC/LC-130 EIGHT BLADED PROPELLER UPGRADE 1. Background. ANG LC-130Hs from Schenectady, NY have ski-equipped landing gear to enable landings and takeoffs on snow and ice. A significant portion of their mission requires landing on deep field runways and unimproved snow and ice. In order to ensure successful takeoff from deep field bases the use of Jet Assisted Take-Off (JATO) motors is required. Dwindling supplies of circa 1950 motors will require funding replacements which will cost approximately $7.0 million per year. The NP2000 is an 8-bladed, composite propeller that significantly improves the thrust output of the current C-130 engines during take-off. This additional thrust would offset future JATO requirements by enabling the aircraft to takeoff without the use of the supplemental thrust provided by JATO. An added benefit of the 8-bladed propeller is the availability of this additional power at any time during a mission. The HC/MC130s provide Combat Search and Recovery (CSAR) air refueling capability. The added power, improved supportability, reduced mobility footprint, and smaller noise signature make the eight bladed propellers a natural complement for this mission. 2. Requirement. AMC Validated 1067. 3. Impact if not funded. If a propulsion system upgrade for the LC-130 community is not funded, the JATO budget impacts may seriously reduce polar operations in the future. The HC/MC-130 aircraft would not benefit from the reduced cost of maintenance, experience the improved performance and reduced noise signature of the 8 bladed propellers. 4. Units Impacted.

INFORMATION PAPER ON HC/MC-130 DUAL RAIL CARGO HANDLING SYSTEM 1. Background. The HC/MC130 currently lacks the capability to rapidly change its cargo compartment configuration in a timely manner commensurate with the requirements of the current Combat Search and Rescue (CSAR) mission and Personnel Recovery (PR) operations during peacetime and combat. The internal fuel tank is required for missions that require longrange helicopter air refueling (HAR). HAR also significantly extends loiter time. Other CSAR missions require more cargo compartment space which involves removing the internal fuel tank including: (1) tactical airdrops of large or multiple Pararescuemen (PJ) vehicles; (2) CSAR organic airlift in theater; and (3) airland resupply missions for HH-60 regeneration at forward area Landing Zone (LZ) sites. Currently, both removal and installation of the internal Benson fuel tank requires four to six hours before the aircraft is mission ready. The internal Benson fuel tank now installed is incompatible with dual rails due to its hard-mount installation and would require removal for the dual rail installation. 2. Requirement. OIF/OEF Lessons Learned. AFSOC 1067. 3. Impact If Not Funded. Without the dual rail cargo handling system HC/MC-130 aircraft will be unable to rapidly configure or reconfigure to support organic cargo requirements among rescue assets. The current cargo area configuration allows for an internal fuel tank and a very limited area for cargo. The dual rail cargo handling system supports the flexibility to maximize the capability of the HC/MC-130 platform. 4. Units Impacted.

INFORMATION PAPER ON EC-130J REAL TIME INFORMATION IN THE COCKPIT (RTIC) 1. Background. The capability for bringing Real Time Information In the Cockpit (RTIC) was not included in the EC-130J communications suite. Currently it has a Tactical Information Broadcast System (TIBS) - a legacy carry on situational awareness system overlaid on a Portable Flight Planning Software (PFPS) moving map. However, this system is quickly becoming unsupportable and there are not enough to outfit all the aircraft. It is mandatory for survivability of the platform since the EC-130J often operates under due regard situations without AWACS or air traffic control making crews solely responsible to avoid commercial, friendly or hostile military traffic. This is especially critical on Commando Solo EC-130J aircraft due to degraded communications when broadcasting during Psychological Operations (PSYOP). 2. Requirement. AFSOC JORD 022-91-ID, CAF MNS 315-92, Real Time Information in the Cockpit (RTIC); Global Information Grid CRD, JROCM 134-01, 30 Aug 01; AMC May 020671 R&PC Requirement; Air Force Tactical Data Link Master Plan. 3. Impact If Not Funded. Capability for providing real time information into and out of the cockpit (RTIC/RTOC) is critical to threat analysis and avoidance while reducing voice communications. Lack of RTIC creates high potential for mission failures, lost aircrew, and lost aircraft due to lack of situational awareness and airspace management in the battle area. The four current systems will soon become unsustainable due to lack of spares and replacement parts. The four Super J aircraft currently have no situational awareness capability. It is imperative that a replacement be procured and installed before the present system is unsustainable. 4. Unit Impacted.

INFORMATION PAPER ON EC-130J SATCOM INSTALLATION 1. Background. Satellite Communication (SATCOM) is only installed on the stretch C-130J fleet, not the standard or stubby C-130Js. As a result, four of the seven EC-130Js are not equipped with SATCOM. It is imperative to install SATCOM on the remaining aircraft to ensure compatibility and interoperability with other special operation force assets and the theater Command and Control (C2) structure. 2. Requirement. WEPTAC 2007 Critical Item. 3. Impact If Not Funded. Without SATCOM the EC-130J cannot meet current concept of operations and has inefficient or non-existent command & control communications in theaters or environments where line-of-sight communications are not available.

INFORMATION PAPER ON EC-130J WIDEBAND SATELLITE CONNECTIVITY 1. Background. A recurring deficiency since the 1990s is the EC-130Js inability to receive real-time Psychological Operations (PSYOP) audio/video from the Joint PSYOP Task Force preventing live President of the US (POTUS) broadcasts. Currently the aircrew receives generic, non-event driven messages prior to flight. These time delays may cause dissemination of information that is incorrect and unbelievable thus reducing the PSYOP campaigns effectiveness and credibility. This shortfall has been repeatedly identified by tasking agencies and a test system was installed on the EC-130E. However, lack of funding prevented further installation. 2. Requirement. CAF-AMC-AFSOC 002-95-III-C FOR ADVANCED WIDEBAND TERMINALS, 29 Mar 2004 reference Para 1.8.7 pg 20, Table 6-1, and Appendix A; AFSOC JORD 001-99 for POBS Airborne Special Mission Equipment, 28 Mar 05. 3. Impact If Not Funded. PSYOP programs will be a minimum of eight hours old when broadcast. POTUS will lack the capability to broadcast live to target audience throughout the globe. Since the 193 SOW does not produce PSYOP products, it cannot perform missions without the means of receiving products from other agencies. This connectivity would reduce or eliminate the need to deploy a dedicated US Army PSYOP team with the unit and result in a timely and effective PSYOP broadcast capability. It has been repeatedly proven during current operations that PSYOP effectiveness is highly dependent on timely and accurate PSYOP messages. 4. Unit Impacted.

INFORMATION PAPER ON LC-130 CREVASSE DETECTION RADAR 1. Background. The New York Air National Guard (109 AW) has the responsibility for supporting the Air Forces only arctic environment capability. The 109 AW supports both Air Force polar operations and National Science Foundation (NSF) polar research missions using specialized, ski-equipped LC-130 aircraft. Over the last four decades, LC-130 aircraft have sustained serious damage while landing on unsurveyed ice and snow covered areas. The 109th has an immediate need for crevasse detection radar to protect the aircraft during deep field missions. The radar also has additional capabilities including polar search and rescue and airborne sensing. Additionally, current methods to identify hazards with national imaging assets entail long lead times and increasing unreliability. The crevasse detection radar is needed to operate safely and effectively in these areas. The ANG (in conjunction with Sandia Labs) successfully completed an evaluation of a production prototype, and have started an integration program to install the radar in the LC-130 and are continuing to improve the operation of the radar. 2. Requirement. MAJCOM (ANG) AF Form 1067, dated 19 Nov 04. 3. Impact if not funded. The crevasse detection radar is required to find hazards and dangers associated with operation in the polar deep field environment. Without this radar, the aircraft will continue to risk damage and personal injury from hidden crevasses. 4. Unit Impacted.

INFORMATION PAPER ON LC-130 JET ASSISTED TAKE-OFF PROGRAM 1. Background. The New York Air National Guard (109th AW), provides 100% of the Air Force arctic environment requirements and the National Science Foundation's (NSF) polar research missions using specialized, ski-equipped LC-130 aircraft. The MK 6 Jet Assisted TakeOff (JATO) rocket motor enables ski equipped LC-130 operations in deep field locations. Currently, the LC-130 is using existing JATO bottles produced in the 1950s. By 2011, existing stocks of JATO bottles will be fully depleted. It is critical that ANG procures replacement JATO motors as soon as possible. If the motors are not replaced, the LC-130 will have to severally limit their deep field missions in the polar-regions. Indian Head Naval Surface Warfare Center (NSWC) will complete the Phase I development of the new design but there is no funding to complete production efforts. Funding is required in FY08 to complete production and ensure continued operational capability. Also, continued production funding is required to establish a replacement program for assets consumed in the field. 2. Requirement. NGB ORD 002-03, dated 20 Feb 03. 3. Impact If Not Funded. The deficiencies described above, if not addressed, will result in the cancellation of all deep field operations for the LC-130 in 2011. This would include both the science and rescue missions. Alternate methods for transportation will have to be established and the loss of operational capability will need to be addressed. 4. Unit Impacted.

E-8

JSTARS

EYES OF THE NIGHT

The Joint Surveillance Target Attack Radar System (JSTARS) has provided 30,000 OEF/OIF combat hours since 2002 and is the premier command and control system of choice of Combatant Commanders. The E-8C is the worlds most advanced wide-area airborne battle management aircraft that brings a unique combination of robust communication and real-time ground surveillance to both the air and ground battle spaces and true network centric warfare. Through continued investment in modernization, the E-8C will remain relevant to joint force combat operations well into the 21st Century. The 116 ACW at Robins AFB, GA, is home to 17 E-8Cs and the only E-8(T)C and stands as a pioneer as the first Total Force wing, combining active-duty and Air National Guard Airmen in a single unit. An unblemished combat record and continuous deployment in the combat theater since 2001 with over 20,000 flying hours in support of Operation IRAQI FREEDOM, stand testament to the success of the Total Force concept. The 116 ACW is manned by 1,625 active duty Air Force personnel, 90 active duty Army personnel, and 1141 ANG personnel. Modernization efforts are underway to enhance the war fighting capabilities of the E-8 by fielding the Interim Capability for Airborne Networking (ICAN), Force XXI Battle Command for Brigade and Below (FBCB2) blue-force situational awareness tool, an enhanced Fuel Quantity Indicating System (FQIS), and a secure beyond line-of-sight communications suite.

INFORMATION PAPER ON JSTARS AIRCRAFT VIABILITY RE-ENGINING 1. Background. The current TF-33 engines are the biggest reliability problem and capability shortfall for the JSTARS. The Air Forces report to Congress in 2004 and the update requested in 2005 clearly outline these issues as well as the sustainment cost savings to be gained by reengining the aircraft. An updated power plant provides improved fuel economy, quicker climb to mission altitude, ability to use shorter runways, international noise and emission standards compliance, and, most importantly, enhanced reliability and maintainability. An initial NonRecurring Engineering (NRE) contract was awarded on 28 Feb 07. AF will buy the first two Propulsion Pod System (PPS) ship sets in FY08 to open the production line as well as award the remainder of the NRE. 2. Requirement Source. JSTARS ORD, Version 5. Reference paragraph: 5.14.4. 3. Impact if Not Funded. Continued failure to meet operational requirements, decreasing mission capable rates and exponentially increasing sustainment costs associated with the old engines. Overall mission degradation will continue to impact all air operations due to long intransit and retrograde times, slow time-to-climb, restricted altitudes, more frequent aerial refueling, continued need for longer runways, increased mission maintenance rates, and noncompliance with domestic and international pollution and noise standards. 4.

INFORMATION PAPER ON JSTARS AIRCRAFT VIABILITY - 8.33 KHz VHF RADIO 1. Background. Installation of radios that support spacing of frequencies by 8.33 KHz in the very high frequency (VHF) radios is an Air Force initiative to ensure the JSTARS fleet is compliant with Communication, Navigation, Surveillance/Air Traffic Management (CNS/ATM) standards. The modification is important for uninterrupted access to European airspace and replaces two of the three existing VHF radios and antennas. Production funds to install 8.33 KHz radios on the E-8 fleet have not been identified. Additionally, the requirement to add the Single Channel Ground and Airborne Radio System (SINCGARS) voice communications, allowing transfer of data and voice from JSTARS mission crews to ground commanders, would be met. Neither development funds for SINCGARS voice nor production funds to install 8.33 KHz, SINCGARS capable VHF radios on the E-8 fleet have been identified. 2. Requirement. JSTARS ORD, Version 5. CRD USAF 003-97. 3. Impact If Not Funded. The European nations have implemented CNS/ATM flight standards for their respective airspaces since 1999. Access to European airspace and air traffic control centers is constrained causing delays during deployments of JSTARS capability to a theater of operations. Restriction to operations below 24,000 feet, due to inability to comply with CNS/ATM standards, increases fuel consumption, decreases range and reduces the mission footprint of the synthetic aperture radar and ground moving target indicator. During Operation ENDURING FREEDOM (OEF) and IRAQI FREEDOM (OIF) deployments, aircraft were routed much further away from Emergency Airfields to stay clear of European controlled airspace, increasing risk factors for flight safety. 4.

INFORMATION PAPER ON JSTARS AIRCRAFT VIABILITY - CONTROL/DISPLAY UNIT (CDU) 7000 1. Background. The current E-8C JSTARS Control and Display Unit (CDU) 800 is on the Diminishing Manufacturing Source (DMS) watch list with end of support currently projected for FY10. New and required capabilities cannot be implemented in the current CDU due to memory and throughput processing power limitations. This project provides a replacement Control and Display Unit (CDU) 7000 which addresses DMS issues providing growth capability to implement new requirements such as Mode 5 and S and updated global positioning system (GPS). The current E-8C CDU is incapable of further expansion. 2. Requirement. JSTARS ORD, Version 5. CRD USAF 003-97. 3. Impact If Not Funded. Support ends for the current CDU 800 in FY10. Risk of NonMission Capable (NMC) aircraft due to lack of support creates sense of urgency for an FY10 solution. Day for day slip in eliminating DMS risk and providing required growth capacity until funding is made available. 4. Unit Impacted.

INFORMATION PAPER ON JSTARS PRIME MISSION EQUIPMENT (PME) REPLACEMENT 1. Background. Replacing PME due to diminishing manufacturer sources (DMS) is a top issue for fleet viability and is critical in maintaining net-centric Warfighter capabilities - Ground Moving Target Indicator (GMTI) and Battle Management Command and Control (BMC2). The Joint STARS PME hardware was converted from military to commercial off-the-shelf when the Computer Replacement Program completed development in CY00. The commercial off the shelf (COTS) PME, including computers, storage, network equipment, radar signal processing equipment and displays, will become unsupportable and force aircraft to become Non-Mission Capable (NMC) starting in FY09. Integration work coupled with lead time for procurement makes replacement of the processor an urgent issue beginning in FY08. Modification will provide infrastructure to support future obsolescence initiatives. 2. Requirement. JSTARS ORD, Version 5. 3. Impact If Not Funded. The current processor in JSTARS will no longer be supportable starting in FY09, reaching critical rates by FY10. JSTARS will lose the current combat capability as well as any potential growth anticipated by that time. The loss of mission capability will preclude the combat air force (CAF) from providing GMTI, synthetic aperture radar (SAR) imagery and BMC2 in multiple theaters simultaneously. Furthermore, the reduction of combat ready aircraft would cripple the Wings ability to meet current and future combatant commander requirements to defeat the enemy. 4. Unit Impacted.

INFORMATION PAPER ON JSTARS COMMUNICATIONS & NETWORKING UPGRADE (CNU) PHASE I - LINK 16 & IBS 1. Background. CNU Phase I provides continued Link-16, Broadcast Intelligence (BI), and additional Battle Management & Command and Control (BMC2) software applications. It also addresses the National Security Agencys (NSA) Cryptographic Modernization Program (CMP) requirements impacting Link-16/Broadcast Intelligence future frequency re-mapping and hardware obsolescence and diminishing manufacturing sources (DMS) issues. Potential solutions include: Link-16, a multi-function information distribution and tactical radio system; BI: Integrated Broadcast Service (IBS) via International Marine/Maritime Satellite (INMARSAT) and standalone ultra-high frequency (UHF) satellite communication (SATCOM) receivers and enhanced BMC2 software. 2. Requirement. JSTARS ORD, Version 5. 3. Impact If Not Funded. BI hardware DMS is projected to start in 2010 and spread to the entire fleet in 2013. Link-16 and BI data will be vulnerable to exploitation due to noncompliance with NSA cryptographic requirements. Aircraft not upgraded with new crypto risk the ability to transmit and receive secured data. 4. Unit Impacted.

INFORMATION PAPER ON JSTARS TARGET ID CAPABILITY ENHANCED LAND/MARITIME MODE (ELMM) 1. Background. JSTARS has a limited target ID capability and requires a robust machine-tomachine interface allowing sensor and shooter to share and correlate data in a rapid, efficient manner to retain full situation awareness during time sensitive targeting operations. The E-8 team must be able to accurately scan the surface and coordinate targets with others in a common visual format, receive correlating data from and pass targeting information directly to the supporting forces. Several JSTARS-specific projects contribute vital capability towards target ID capability, including: Enhanced Land/Maritime Mode (ELMM), Aided Target Recognition (ATR) and an Electro-Optical/IR Sensor. ELMM provides capabilities based on radar tracking and targeting capability to track maritime targets of interest in all weather conditions and various sea states. ELMM Risk Reduction was awarded in Dec 05 for early system definition, design, analysis, simulation and test aircraft installation. Full development of ELMM was put on contract in Dec 06.

INFORMATION PAPER ON JSTARS AIDED TARGET RECOGNITION (ATR) 1. Background. JSTARS has a limited target ID capability and requires a robust machine-tomachine interface allowing sensor and shooter to share and correlate data in a rapid, efficient manner to retain full situation awareness, during time sensitive targeting operations. The E-8 team must be able to accurately scan the surface and coordinate targets with others in a common visual format, receive correlating data from and pass targeting information directly to the supporting forces. Several JSTARS-specific projects contribute vital capability towards target ID capability, including: Enhanced Land/Maritime Mode (ELMM), Aided Target Recognition (ATR) and an Electro-Optical/IR Sensor. The Joint STARS ATR Integration program will provide a near all weather, day/night near real time means to accurately characterize and sort enemy, friend, and neutral stopped ground entities. ATR provides a tool to aid in locating and identifying high value stationary targets in synthetic aperture radar (SAR) imagery, providing rapid detection, location and classification of time critical stopped targets. It gives the warfighter operational capability to aid in locating and identifying high value time critical stationary targets, and a means to help attain high confidence positive ID while reducing operator workload. ATR develops approximately 25 additional targets for the JSTARS database. 2. Requirement. JSTARS ORD, Version 5. 3. Impact If Not Funded. If ATR integration is not funded, E-8C battle managers, other airborne sensor platforms, ground force commanders, and airborne shooters will continue to be denied a simple, robust means to share information in order to quickly distinguish between friendly and enemy forces. JSTARS will not have a means to accurately characterize and sort enemy, friend, and neutral stopped time critical ground entities resulting in slower reaction time to engage rapidly emerging enemy forces. 4.

INFORMATION PAPER ON JSTARS INFRARED MISSILE DEFENSE / SELF-PROTECT CAPABILITY 1. Background. E-8C JSTARS operate worldwide in a low to medium threat environment where shoulder-fired, Man-Portable Air Defense System (MANPAD) infrared-seeking missiles are widely available, hence a significant threat during take-offs and landings. This project will leverage previous investments in a self-protection capability. The embedded Self-Defense Suite (SDS) uses the AN/AAR-44 Sensor and the AN/ALE-47 Dispensers. To counter MANPAD threats the ANG requires an advanced infrared counter measures (IRCM) system like the AN/AAQ-24 large aircraft infrared counter measures (LAIRCM) system that does not rely on pyrotechnic expendables and provides the best effective counter infrared capability.
2. Requirement. JSTARS ORD, Version 5.

3. Impact If Not Funded. JSTARS will continue to operate in an environment of increasing threat complexity and lethality. Recent open source press coverage highlights the JSTARS unique value to the Joint Force Commanders. Without a self-protection capability, this low density, high-demand (LD/HD) national asset will be at significant risk. 4. Unit Impacted.

INFORMATION PAPER ON JSTARS NEAR REAL-TIME COMBAT ID CAPABILITY NCCT & UAV INTEGRATION 1. Background. JSTARS has a limited combat identification capability and requires a robust machine-to-machine interface allowing sensor and shooter to synchronize, share and correlate data rapidly and efficiently to retain full situation awareness, especially during time sensitive targeting operations. The E-8 team must be able to accurately scan the surface and coordinate targets with others in a common visual format, receive correlating data from and pass targeting information directly to the supporting forces. Several JSTARS-specific projects contribute vital capability towards obtaining combat identification capability in near real-time, including: blue force tracking with the existing Force XXI Battle Command Brigade and Below (FBCB2) module, the Network-Centric Collaborative Targeting (NCCT) system and unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) Integration effort.
2. Requirement. JSTARS ORD, Version 5. Paragraph reference: 5.9.9.

3. Impact If Not Funded. E-8C battle managers, other airborne sensor platforms, ground force commanders, and airborne shooters will continue to be denied a simple, robust means share information in near real-time in order to quickly distinguish between friendly and enemy forces and be able to obtain additional data on selected targets/tracks for identification purposes. Without this ID capability, there are increased chances of fratricide among the friendly forces and slower reaction time to engage rapidly emerging enemy forces. 4. Unit Impacted.

INFORMATION PAPER ON F-15 ACTIVE ELECTRONICALLY SCANNED ARRAY RADAR 1. Background. The APG-63(V)3 Active Electronically Scanned Array (AESA) radar will replace the current APG- 63(V)0 mechanically scanned radar by a stationary panel covered with an array of over one thousand transmitter-receiver modules. These modules leverage combined power and can perform different detection, tracking, communication, and jamming functions in multiple directions simultaneously. AESA provides significant increases in precision to detect, track, and eliminate multiple threats faster and with greater efficiency. Additionally, AESA eliminates the hydraulic and electrical systems associated with mechanically operated radars resulting in dramatically improved reliability and maintainability. The F-15s primary advantage in air-to-air remains the Beyond-Visual-Range (BVR) arena. The BVR arena requires an ability to detect current and future generation airborne threats to retain the first shot, first kill, which is essential to effective employment. In FY06 Congress appropriated $52.2M to procure 6 AESA systems for ANG. In FY07 Congress, appropriated $72M for procurement of AESA radars only for the ANG F-15C fleet; this will procure 8 AESA radars. 2. Requirement. Currently the APG-63(V)0 radar is unsupportable due to parts obsolescence and requires a reliability and maintainability upgrade. The Air National Guard requires a minimum of 48 total AESA systems for constant Homeland Defense presence throughout the United States. 3. Impact If Not Funded. ANG F-15s are tasked for threat areas throughout the world as part of the Air and Space Expeditionary Force (AEF) while defending our homeland. Without AESA radar, the F-15 is critically vulnerable in their ability to detect and target asymmetric and future airborne threats. 4. Units Impacted.

F-16

THE FIGHTER OF CHOICE

ANG operates 486 F-16 aircraft comprising over 40% of the total US combat F-16 force. The ANG F-16C/D fleet consists of 386 Block 25/30/32, 72 Block 42, and 28 Block 52 aircraft. Since September 11, 2001, ANG F-16s flew over 115,000 hours in direct support of contingencies around the globe, including Operations NOBLE EAGLE, IRAQI FREEDOM, and ENDURING FREEDOM, and homeland defense scrambles. Since 2003, ANG F-16Cs fulfilled over 30% of CENTAF precision guided munitions (PGM) and close air support (CAS) taskings in Operation IRAQI FREEDOM. In support of operations against Iraqi insurgents, ANG F-16s provided convoy escort, dedicated infrastructure defense, border patrol, Army raid support, and continuous show of force operations. ANG F-16s are the primary non-traditional intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (NT-ISR) platform. In armed reconnaissance missions, F-16s employ advanced targeting pods and the Theater Airborne Reconnaissance System (TARS) with data links to forces on the ground. ANG F-16s led LITENING AT Video Downlink (VDL) development, testing, and production in order to meet a CENTAF urgent need request in minimal time. The 174 FW at Syracuse, NY, was the first F-16 squadron to declare Initial Operational Capability (IOC) with the Sniper XR targeting pod. South Carolinas 169 FW became the first Block 50/52 squadron to reach IOC with the Sniper pod, leading the Air Force in bringing an integrated suppression and destruction of enemy air defense (SEAD/ DEAD) capability to the fight. ANG dedicates ten F-16 squadrons to support Operation NOBLE EAGLE, 24-hour Air Sovereignty Alert for Homeland Defense. Since September 11, 2001, F-16s from the 113 WG at Andrews AFB, MD, have scrambled numerous times and flown hundreds of hours defending the National Capitol Region airspace. Modernization efforts are underway to improve the war fighting capabilities of ANG F-16s by fielding secure line-of-sight and beyond line-of-sight communications suites, higher data processing capacity, helmet mounted cueing, and enhanced self protection.

INFORMATION PAPER ON F-16C COMMERCIAL FIRE CONTROL COMPUTER (CFCC) AND ETHERNET 1. Background. The Block 25/30/32 F-16 Expanded Enhanced Fire Control Computer (EEFCC) performs aircraft weapon delivery, sensor cueing, and navigation functions. Currently, the EEFCC is operating at maximum capacity and is incapable of providing the processing power required for planned upgrades. This limitation precludes upgrading connections between aircraft processors to increase bandwidth, a step required for Software Capability Upgrade-8 (SCU-8), Helmet Mounted Cuing System (HMCS) integration, Small Diameter Bomb (SDB) fielding, and Mode V advanced combat identification compliance. Replacing the EEFCC with the Commercial Fire Control Computer (CFCC) solves these problems and ensures future growth capacity. The CFCC will greatly increase F-16 processing power, serve as an avionics Ethernet hub, and allows implementation of advanced sensor, identification, and weapons requirements. This system is foundational to all future upgrades and required for the planned fielding of SCU-8 in 2011. New Ethernet connections between the CFCC and other aircraft processors will enable increased bus traffic for weapons such as SDB and HMCS integration. 2. Requirement. CAF 301-01-B, F-16C/D Block 25/30/32 MSIP ORD (15 Dec 04). 3. Impact If Not Funded. Unmodified aircraft will be unable to operate with SCU-8, HMCS, SDB, and Mode V capabilities, decreasing survivability and lethality in every mission area. 4. Units Impacted.

INFORMATION PAPER ON F-16C DAY/NIGHT HELMET MOUNTED CUEING SYSTEM (HMCS) 1. Background. The addition of day and night, helmet mounted cueing and display capability to the F-16 Block 25/30/32 significantly increases pilot situational awareness, aircraft survivability, and lethality in every mission area. A helmet mounted cueing system allows pilots to quickly build a three dimensional picture of the battlespace by providing actual target, threat, and friendly Line-of-Sight (LOS) information into the pilots Field-of-View (FOV). This reduces the head down time along with the necessity to fly near the target area. With the capability to cue sensors and weapons off bore-sight using the helmet LOS, pilots can quickly engage targets of opportunity. Due to the extensive night operations conducted by F-16s, sensor cueing and display with night vision goggles (NVGs) is required. This enhances time sensitive targeting capabilities and greatly reduces the risk of fratricide or collateral damage. 2. Requirement. JHMCS-CAF 308-93 MNS, ORD CAF-USN 308-93-II-A Dec 1996, CAF 301-01-B, F-16C/D Block 25/30/32 MSIP ORD (15 Dec 04). 3. Impact If Not Funded. The risk of target mis-identification, collateral damage, and fratricide is significantly increased without HMCS. Pilots will remain unable to exploit the capabilities of high off boresight air-to-air and air-to-surface weapons. 4. Units Impacted.

INFORMATION PAPER ON F-16C ADVANCED TARGETING POD (ATP) and VIDEO DOWNLINK (VDL) 1. Background. Procurement of advanced targeting pods (ATP) has been an ANG top priority for the past several years. In order to achieve the required 2:1 aircraft to ATP ratios and requisite spares, the ANG requires 193 pods. A total of 136 Northrop Grumman LITENING and 27 Lockheed Martin Sniper XR targeting pods have been funded between FY98 and FY07. ATPs feature state-of-the-art technology which allows full weapons exploitation and comprehensive ANG participation in contingency operations. Current pods employ third generation forward looking infrared (FLIR), electro-optical television / charge-coupled devices (CCD), and laser spot search and track (LSS/LST) to offer exceptional standoff capability and the ability to target J-series weapons. The ANG is 30 pods short of its total ATP requirement. Modernization with fourth generation capability (1K FLIR, 1K CCD) will bring vastly improved day and night target acquisition and combat ID at extended ranges in both air-to-ground and air-to-air roles. The ANG requires fourth generation capability on all ATPs. ATP VDL provides streaming pod video to Tactical Air Control Parties (TACPs) and Joint Terminal Attack Controllers (JTACs) equipped with Remotely Operated Video Enhanced Receiver (ROVER) terminals. The ANG fielded 24 10-watt LITENING ATP VDL kits and has an additional 66 25-watt LITENING ATP VDL kits on contract to deliver in 2008. Funding is required to upgrade all remaining LITENING AT and Sniper XR ATPs with VDL. 2. Requirement. CENTAF Urgent Need Request, Nov 04. 3. Impact If Not Funded. Not funding will limit the ANGs ability to effectively fulfill its Air Expeditionary Force (AEF) tasking and reduced capability relative to target acquisition and identification. 4. Units Impacted.

INFORMATION PAPER ON F-16C ALR-69 RADAR WARNING RECEIVER (RWR) SYSTEM UPGRADE/REPLACEMENT INCORPORATING A DIGITAL RECEIVER AND THREAT GEO-LOCATON 1. Background. The current ALR-69 RWR provides threat radar warning indications to pilots for F-16 Block 30/32/42 as well as providing threat information to the ALQ-213 on Block 30/32 aircraft. The legacy ALR-69 has subassemblies that are no longer supportable, is unable to provide acceptable defensive situational awareness and is incapable of supporting the onboard/off-board warfighter requirements. Specific performance shortfalls include inadequate response time, overload conditions, unacceptable identification performance, inadequate threat detection capability, unacceptable threat geo-location and lack of digital information. Upgrading the legacy RWR with a modification that incorporates an advanced digital receiver or replacing it (internal or embedded with an advanced Electronic Attack pod) will address the aforementioned issues while providing accurate passive targeting information. The ability to pass target quality emitter coordinates to any net-centric aircraft is a critical requirement and a key component of Air Combat Commands Sensors Forward concept of operations. This upgrade will enhance the F-16s survivability and lethality during assigned missions in an increasingly advanced threat environment. 2. Requirement. CAF 301-01-B, F-16 C/D Block 25/30/32 MSIP ORD (15 Dec 04). 3. Impact if Not Funded. Block 30/32/42 F-16s will remain at risk to current threats and have little capability against most advanced threat systems resulting in areas of denied access that significantly impact all airborne platforms to accomplish missions. 4.

INFORMATION PAPER ON F-16C IMPROVED VOICE/DATA COMMUNICATIONS 1. Background. The F-16 radio suite provides UHF/VHF voice communications between stations within Line-of-Sight (LOS). Current secure voice communications are operationally limited due to poor transmission and reception quality. Additionally, F-16s are not interoperable with the Single-Channel Ground-to-Air Radio System (SINCGARS) used by Army units. This limitation directly reduces the F-16 pilots ability to support coalition ground forces. F-16s conducting homeland defense missions are currently unable to communicate with agencies operating in civil and marine bands, or communicate with command and control assets when at extended ranges from traditional antennas. A beyond line of sight (BLOS) capability employing satellite communications (SATCOM) is an urgent requirement for air sovereignty operations. The ARC-210 radio brings BLOS as well as expanded secure radio coverage, including UHF/VHF, FM, SINCGARS, and the civil/marine bands for homeland defense. The ARC-210 permits future growth for extended data and image transfer when linked to an advanced display. These capabilities are critical to operations in remote areas, dense threat environments, and in defense of the homeland. A total of 70 ANG Block 30/42 aircraft are funded for ARC-210 radios with improved secure line of sight for urgent in-theater use. These aircraft require installation of SATCOM capability. ARC-210s address two urgent operational needs. 2. Requirement. TAF 303-76-I/II/III-A SORD for the F-16C/D, CAF ORD 303-76-I/II/III-D F16C/D MSIP ORD (Draft 14 Aug 00), CENTCOM UON, NORTHCOM UON. 3.

INFORMATION PAPER ON F-16C CENTER PEDESTAL COLOR DISPLAY 1. Background. The Block 25/30/32 F-16 requires a new center pedestal display in order to send and receive imagery, improve available processing power, and replace aging flight instruments. The new color display will directly connect to the ARC-210 radio and provide pilots with the ability to securely transfer still images, such as a targeting pod scenes, joint tactical air controller taskings, and updated target area imagery. This capability is critical to rapid coordination with ground units during close air support missions and with command and control assets during time sensitive and emerging target operations. The center pedestal display also contains additional processing capacity that will allow for the manipulation of data external to the aircraft operational flight program (OFP). This provides pilots with the ability to insert mission planning data pre-mission via USB like interfaces, while opening low cost pathways for the integration of future weapons and updates without the costly and time consuming process of changing the aircraft OFP. Pilot selectable display options will provide electronic instrument flight displays (attitude, performance, and navigation) when required. 2. Requirement. CAF 301-01-B, F-16C/D Block 25/30/32 MSIP ORD (15 Dec 04). 3. Impact If Not Funded. Pilots will be unable to effectively transfer imagery with Joint Tactical Air Controllers (JTACs) and command and control agencies, degrading their ability to effectively support ground operations and time sensitive taskings.

INFORMATION PAPER ON F-16C ADVANCED IDENTIFICATION FRIEND/FOE (AIFF) 1. Background. The ANG F-16 fleet consists of multi-role fighters fulfilling defensive counter-air tasking in the Air and Space Expeditionary Force (AEF) as well as air defense missions over the United States. The AIFF provides an interrogator capability enabling the F-16 to meet pre-established rules of engagement (ROE) and rapidly find tracks of interest in saturated airspace. The ANG received $35M through FY02 Defense Emergency Response Funding to equip ANG Block 25/30/32 F-16 aircraft that provide continuous air patrol over Washington, DC and New York, NY with AIFF. These funds were sufficient to accomplish all of the nonrecurring engineering and integrate the BAE APX-113 system on over 60 aircraft in the ANG inventory. Further funding has enabled the ANG to install AIFF systems on a total 82 Block 25/30/32 aircraft. The APX-113 is installed on all USAF Block 50/52 F-16s, including 28 ANG Block 52s. The APX-113 also addresses the new Mode S requirement for the Global Air Traffic Management (GATM) system and the mandatory Mode 5 upgrade. Funding is required to complete installation on the remaining Block 30/32/42 F-16s in the ANG inventory and the upgrade of fielded AIFF systems to Mode 5 capability via the -60 card. 2. Requirement.

INFORMATION PAPER ON F-16C BLOCK 42 F-100-PW-229 RE-ENGINE 1. Background. Some ANG Block 42 F-16 aircraft are still equipped with Pratt & Whitney F100-PW-220 engines (25,000 lb thrust). Block 42 aircraft, similar to Block 40 (F-110-GE100; 28,000 lbs thrust) F-16 aircraft, were specifically designed to accomplish the Low Altitude Navigation and Targeting Infrared for Night (LANTIRN) mission. However, F100-PW-220 powered Block 42 engine thrust and performance limitations have resulted in ANG pilots performing combat operations at increased risk. Equipping these aircraft with more powerful FIOO-PW-229 engines (29, 100 lbs thrust) immediately enables the Block 42 F-16 to effectively perform any assigned mission while providing combat pilots a level of performance comparable to the Block 52 F-16. With Base Re-Alignment and Closure (BRAC) changes considered, 57 PW-229 engines (including spares) are required to upgrade the entire Block 42 fleet. Since FY01, a total of 33 PW-229 engines have been procured. When combined with common configuration implementation program (CCIP) improvements, the addition of PW -229 engines to Block 42 F-16s places ANG aircraft at a similar level of capability with their active duty counterparts. Modified aircraft have been deployed to Operation NORTHERN WATCH in 2002 and Operation IRAQI FREEDOM in 2005 and 2007 and proven to be fully compatible in combat operations. Re-engining Block 42 continues to be a high ANG priority in order to provide maximum combat capability to pilots and to combatant commanders. 2. Requirement. TAF 303-76-I/II/III-A (revision 1) SORD for F-16C/D Block 40/42, LANTIRN TDE Report (422 TES, 1990, Classified). 3. Impact If Not Funded. F100-PW-220 powered Block 42 aircraft can not perform AEFtasked missions without incurring higher risk to the pilots. F100-PW-229 powered Block 42 aircraft are over-tasked to support AEF missions since full complement of these aircraft are unavailable. 4. Units Impacted.

HH-60G
Combat Search & Rescue
The ANG operates 18 HH-60Gs comprising 23% of the total combat coded CSAR helicopters in the Air Force inventory.
Three ANG Wings operate these aircraft; the 106 RQW Francis S. Gabreski Airport, NY, the 129 RQW Moffett Federal Airfield, CA, and the 176 WG Kulis ANGB, AK. In FY07 the ANG HH-60Gs continued modernization efforts as the sole Air Force component to test and install the AN/ARS-6v12 Personnel Locator System greatly increasing the ability to recover downed airmen and isolated personnel. The ANG, along with Air Force Reserce Command, have funded a Color Display and Situational Awareness Data Link (SADL) program which greatly enhances capability and will serve as a cornerstone for future modernization. The professional aircrew of the three Air National Guard HH-60G combat rescue squadrons continue to provide the most experienced, cost effective capability to the Combatant Commanders while deployed worldwide in support of the Global War on Terrorism. Throughout FY07, these ANG aircrew deployed in support of Operation ENDURING FREEDOM continued to produce combat saves in the Area of Operations. When not deployed, these ANG forces also provide critical homeland defense, civil support and various State missions such as search and rescue, counter drug missions and disaster relief.

Multi-Function Color Display - Equipment which allows a color display of current FLIR picture and integrates a digital moving map. The additional on-board processing power will give the capability to harness future modifications such as Situational Awareness Data Link, LARS V12, IBR threat receiver, and GPRS. HH-60G Tactical Data Link - Enhanced Position Location Radio System (EPLRS) with Situational Awareness Data Link (SADL) provides widely fielded information transfer capability in a digitized battlefield environment providing connectivity between Pararescue forces, helicopters, tankers, and fighters making up a Combat Search and Rescue package. Global Personnel Recovery System - New technology which allows over-the-horizon position tracking and data link capability in a small form factor and adaptable application. Ease of forming groups in the cell is a plus for short notice or no notice missions. CSAR Board - The Combat Search and Rescue (CSAR) Board will allow Pararescue personnel to simultaneously administer immediate in-flight medical care on two recovered personnel by stacking these survivors vertically on litters in the aft cabin. Defensive Armament Upgrade - The Fabrique Nationale Herstal M3M .50 caliber machine gun has a high rate of fire and can suppress enemy threats up to 1500 meters. The Dillon Aero M134D minigun is an ultra-reliable, GAU-2B minigun replacement which provides aircraft gross weight savings. To prevent frequent reload time for the M240 machine gun, a Dillon Aero 500 round ammunition container would replace the 200 round container.

INFORMATION PAPER ON HH-60G MULTI FUNCTION COLOR DISPLAY (MFCD) 1. Background. The flow of an increasing volume of data necessitates HH-60G aircrew have the ability to receive, process, sort, display and correctly act on information from various entities. A Multi-Function Color Display (MFCD) with additional data processing power will enable pilots to cleanly display and manipulate current data streams using a single color display screen for each pilot and an additional color display to replace the current weather radar display. This MFCD will allow HH-60G aircrew to display current forward looking infrared (FLIR) picture and aircraft flight instrument data along with an integrated moving map display, eliminating the need for a separate pen tablet computer to display aircraft position. The future value of the MFCD lies in its ability to harness the capability of additional aircraft modifications such as Situational Awareness Data Link (SADL), LARS V12, the Intelligence Broadcast Receiver and the Global Personnel Recovery System (GPRS). 2. Requirement. ACC FY08 Unfunded Requirement; AFSOC and ACC Approved 1067 Aircraft Modification. 3. Impact If Not Funded. The HH-60G will continue to use unreliable carry-on pen tablet computers to display critical mission information with no ability to capture, process and harness threat, intelligence and survivor information gained from future aircraft modifications. 4.

INFORMATION PAPER ON HH-60G TACTICAL DATA LINK (TDL) 1. Background. Combat Search and Rescue (CSAR) forces require the improved situational awareness (SA) capabilities that a TDL can provide during Combat Search and Rescue Task Force (CSARTF) operations. A TDL allows forces to more effectively locate and recover survivors, and provides/receives critical off-board data to/from other HH-60Gs in the flight, C2 nodes and protective fighter and attack aircraft. A TDL will allow the HH-60G to be interoperable with other air assets in theater, have enhanced SA for CSARTF missions, and will reduce fratricide for CSAR forces. Using Situational Awareness Data Link (SADL) for line of sight situational awareness coupled with the over the horizon capability of the Global Personnel Recovery System (GPRS) will provide a total solution for the HH-60G data link requirement. 2. Requirement. CAF MNS 315-92, Real-Time Information in the Cockpit (RTIC); Global Information Grid CRD, JROCM 134-01, 30 Aug 01; Air Force Tactical Data Link Master Plan, ACC Approved 1067; ACC FY08 Critical Unfunded Requirement. 3. Impact If Not Funded. Lack of data link creates high potential for mission failure, lost aircrew, and lost aircraft due to lack of situational awareness and airspace management in the battle area. ANG rescue aircraft will be incompatible with Air and Space Expeditionary CSAR Force packages, jeopardizing the interoperability of the Total Force. A TDL is essential for reactive, time-critical missions that require dynamic planning and maximum flexibility in a very fluid environment. Real time information into and out of the cockpit (RTIC/RTOC) is critical to combat search and rescue (CSAR), drop-zone identification, and threat analysis while limiting voice emissions. 4.

INFORMATION PAPER ON GLOBAL PERSONNEL RECOVERY SYSTEM (GPRS) 1. Background. Combat Search and Rescue Forces (HH-60G, HC-130, MC-130, Guardian Angel) in the Air National Guard are required to provide Rescue/Personnel Recovery services to both the Combatant Commander during combat operations and to state/national authorities for civil rescue operations and other various state missions. During both civil and combat operations, Rescue aircrew have a requirement for Over the Horizon (OTH) data link communication capability and position tracking of participating elements. Additionally, command and control elements have a requirement for a reliable infrastructure to maintain communication with participating elements in an operation while also maintaining situational awareness on the status of those elements. Weight and space considerations in the HH-60G (and dismounted Guardian Angel personnel) are paramount and the ability to incorporate a lightweight, small foot print GPRS card is important. Finally, this over the horizon and situational awareness capability needs to be available across the spectrum of operational environments encountered by Rescue Forces. 2. Requirement. MNS 315-92, Real-Time Information in the Cockpit (RTIC); Global Information Grid CRD, JROCM 134-01, 30 Aug 01; Air Force Tactical Data Link Master Plan. 3. Impact If Not Funded. ANG Rescue Forces will continue to be hampered by intermittent and unreliable OTH voice communication and a limited number of bolt-on blue force tracking technologies. This capability will solve the line of sight (LOS) limitation of current data link solutions. 4. Units Impacted.

INFORMATION PAPER ON HH-60G COMBAT SEARCH AND RESCUE (CSAR) BOARD 1. Background. Effective cabin space in an HH-60G is severely limited. It is imperative that Pararescue (PJ) personnel have the ability to administer quality medical care on two recovered isolated persons simultaneously. The current setup in the aft cabin, with space taken up by auxiliary fuel tanks, weapons, ammunition and personnel gear, is not conducive to effective medical treatment unless a system is implemented to efficiently use valuable and limited cabin space. The CSAR Board is equipment that will allow Pararescue personnel to simultaneously administer medical care on two recovered personnel by stacking these litter patients vertically in the aft cabin. 2. Requirement. HH-60G Mission Area Plan. 3. Impact If Not Funded. Combat Search and Rescue PJ personnel will be unable to effectively administer life saving medical care to multiple recovered isolated personnel. If proper medical care cannot be given to survivors in the back of an HH-60G due to correctable space limitations, entire CSAR missions are at risk of failure. 4. Units Impacted.

INFORMATION PAPER ON HH-60G DEFENSIVE ARMAMENT UPGRADE 1. Background. The HH-60G has a requirement to provide reliable defensive firepower between the currently fielded GAU-2B (800m) and supporting fighters employing special ordnance no closer than 1000 meters from the helicopter. The Fabrique Nationale Herstal (FNH) GAU-21 .50 caliber machine gun is an accurate, reliable, lightweight, high rate of fire, open bolt weapon that can effectively suppresses threats up to 1500 meters. Since the HH-60G routinely operates at maximum allowable gross weight, it is necessary to find weight savings whenever possible. The Dillon Aero M134D mini-gun is an ultra-reliable, GAU-2B mini-gun replacement which provides overall weight savings. Finally, to prevent frequent reload time for the M240 machine gun, a Dillon Aero 500-round ammunition container would replace the existing 200 round container. 2. Requirement. ACC Project 96-012A HH-60G Cabin Configuration FOT&E Final Report (U) dated April 1997 and CAF ORD 306-00-I/II/III HH-60G Block 152 (U) both state the requirement for a .50-caliber machine gun on the Rescue HH-60Gs; AAC/CENTCOM C-MNS 02-501, Approved ACC M3M 1067. 3. Impact If Not Funded. The HH-60G fleet will continue to have an unreliable defensive capability between the maximum range of the current system and the minimum range within which a supporting fighter can drop ordnance. Additionally, the HH-60G will continue to be mission limited by gross weight, while also increasing M240 down time due to limited ammunition container capacity. 4. Units Impacted.

KC-135
The ANGs 21 Air Refueling Wings currently operate 228 KC-135R/T/E aircraft and represent 45% of the entire Air Force KC-135 fleet. This year, ANG tankers have flown over 26,500 hours in direct support of operations at home and abroad. ANG crews and aircraft have supported Combatant Commanders across the globe in such missions as inter-theater airbridge, aeromedical evacuation, theater combat support, and global strike operations. At home, ANG KC-135s continue to provide over 60 percent of Operation NOBLE EAGLE alert air refueling support to homeland defense interceptors.

Air Refueling Tanker

Many upgrades are required for this 50 year old aircraft to meet the continuous demands of global power projection and homeland defense. ANG continues to take delivery of upgraded Block 40 aircraft. This program improves the aircrafts operational readiness and gives it the communication, navigation, and surveillance (CNS/ATM) upgrades necessary to fly in worldwide airspace. Defensive systems are needed to prevent shoulder-mounted surface-to-air-missle systems from destroying aircraft during takeoff, landing, and low altitude flight profiles. Tactical data link technologies and situational awareness displays that bring moving map and real-time threat information to KC-135 crewmembers are required modifications that will greatly enhance worldwide refueling and aeromedical evacuation missions. The ANG KC-135 fleet is quickly moving to an all R/T-model fleet with E-model retirements continuing and the last units converting by summer 2008. In addition, the ANG anticipates participating as a Total Force partner in the Air Forces KC-135 recapitalization effort. Final source selection for the new tanker, one of CSAFs acknowledged top priorities is expected at the beginning of 2008.

INFORMATION PAPER ON KC-135 ADVANCED INFRARED COUNTERMEASURES (IRCM) SELF PROTECTIVE SUITE 1. Background. Changes in employment concepts are putting the KC-135 in higher threat areas more often. Low altitude refueling, forward positioning, and future efforts to establish the tanker as a command and control relay are creating increasingly hostile operational environments. This threat environment is widely populated with shoulder fired, man portable air defense systems (MANPAD) infrared seeking missiles. MANPADs are a significant threat during takeoffs, landings, and low altitude refueling missions. An advanced infrared Defensive System is needed to counter MANPAD threats and does not rely on pyrotechnic expendables which are incompatible with an air refueling mission. 2. Requirement. Based on the LAIRCM ORD 314-92, dated Aug 98, the Air Force will install LAIRCM on some of the KC-135 fleet; AMC Requirements and Planning Council ranked Defensive Systems as #4 at 2007 Executive Session. 3. Impact If Not Funded. The KC-135 will be unable to counteract any IR threat during takeoff, landing, and low altitude flight regimes. 4. Units Impacted.

INFORMATION PAPER ON KC-135 TACTICAL DATA LINK (TDL) 1. Background. Recent combat operations have highlighted the need for comprehensive, networked command and control (C2) throughout all theaters of operation. Installation of a TDL provides this C2 link and maximizes KC-135 aircrew situational awareness with beyond-line-ofsight (BLOS) and line-of-sight (LOS) capabilities. It provides critical real-time information to KC-135 aircrews so they can participate in the present day network-centric battlespace and greatly increase their survivability in combat operations. The resulting connectivity with C2 elements enhances the situational awareness of both tanker formations and the joint and coalition aircraft involved in aerial refueling operations. A TDL capability should be compatible with any situational awareness cockpit display units (CDU) utilized by the community. 2. Requirement. Draft annex to Tanker ORD (AF/A5R).

INFORMATION PAPER ON KC-135 NIGHT VISION GOGGLE (NVG) COMPATIBLE LIGHTING 1. Background. Night has become the preferred flying environment for combat operations and there is a subsequent need to bring night vision tools to KC-135 aircrews. To enhance the survivability of the aircraft and to meet the needs of receiver aircraft requires modifying both the internal and external aircraft lighting. Night vision goggles (NVGs) give crewmembers the critical ability to see other aircraft in a blacked-out flying environment enhancing collision avoidance and tanker formation integrity when tactics calls for no lighting and limited electronic emissions. Modifying external lighting on the KC-135 allows for receivers to rendezvous and air refuel quicker while they are wearing NVGs increasing the time they can spend conducting their missions. Currently, receivers must remove goggles to refuel and must wait for their eyes to readjust to night operations. This takes valuable time away from executing operations. Finally, aircrews can approach and depart airfields blacked-out, keeping the enemy from visually tracking them and firing man portable air defense systems (MANPAD) or anti-aircraft artillery. 2. Requirement. HQ Air Mobility Command mandated that all mobility aircraft be modified for Night Vision Imaging System (NVIS) operations. A-10 community is conducting operational testing for NVIS air refueling capability. 3. Impact If Not Funded. Aircraft are vulnerable to mid-air collisions in blacked-out conditions and vulnerable to enemy ground fire if standard lighting continues. In a dynamic targeting environment, receivers will be slower to refuel and return to the fight while over enemy territory. 4. Units Impacted.

INFORMATION PAPER ON KC-135 SITUATIONAL AWARENESS COCKPIT DISPLAY UNIT (CDU) 1. Background. With the reduction in crew complement as a result of the KC-135 PACER CRAG upgrade and combatant commanders calling for more flexible air refueling missions, there is a crucial need to provide pilots a situational awareness display with as much real-time tactical information as possible. Information such as global positioning system location on a moving map, real-time threat data, weather updates, and electronic flight publications must be available at the pilots fingertips for immediate viewing to increase mission effectiveness. The CDU should be expandable to accommodate future tactical data link information to further enhance KC-135 survivability. 2. Requirement.

INFORMATION PAPER ON KC-135 FUEL TANK FIRE EXPLOSION PROTECTION 1. Background. Worldwide proliferation of small arms and shoulder fired infrared (IR) missiles makes mobility aircraft vulnerable to attack during low altitude operations, particularly during approach and landing. Small arms fire and shoulder fired IR missiles constitute lethal threats to KC-135 operations. To counter these threats, a nitrogen based fuel tank fire protection system is needed to reduce the chance of catastrophic explosion by replacing oxygen with nitrogen in the fuel tanks. 2. Requirement. KC-135 Aircraft Extension Program (AEP) Capability Development Document (CDD) 20 Sep 07. 3. Impact If Not Funded. KC-135 fuel tanks remain vulnerable to the effects of small arms fire and shoulder fired IR missiles. The loss of any KC-135 aircraft degrades the ability to provide vital air refueling across the entire spectrum of operations. 4. Units Impacted.

UAS

Unmanned Aircraft System

ANG is standing up 4 MQ-1 Predator Squadrons and 1 MQ-9 Reaper Squadron that will be capable of providing up to 12 combat air patrol missions operating 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year.
MQ-1 PREDATOR UNMANNED AERIAL VEHICLE The MQ-1 Predator is a medium-altitude, long-endurance, remotely piloted aircraft. The MQ-1s primary mission is intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR). When the MQ-1 is not actively engaged in its primary mission, it is available to the Joint Forces Air Component Commander for interdiction and armed reconnaissance against critical, perishable targets, and as a theater asset for reconnaissance, surveillance and target acquisition. The MQ-1 Predator unmanned aircraft system (UAS) is flown by North Dakota, Arizona and California Air National Guard units. The Nevada ANG is supporting MQ-1 aircrew training. MQ-9 REAPER UNMANNED AERIAL VEHICLE The MQ-9 Reaper is a medium-to-high altitude, long endurance remotely piloted aircraft system. The MQ-9 is a persistent hunter-killer against emerging targets. The MQ-9s secondary mission is to act as an intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance asset, employing sensors to provide real-time data to commanders and intelligence specialists at all levels. Larger and more powerful than the MQ1 Predator, Reaper is designed to go after time-sensitive targets with persistence and precision, and destroy or disable those targets. The New York Air National Guard will operate the MQ-9 Reaper in FY10.

INFORMATION PAPER ON MQ-1/MQ-9 INTEGRATED PREDATOR/REAPER OPERATIONS CENTER (POC/ROC) 1. Background. ANG units started full-time MQ-1 operations in Aug 06, and reached initial operational capability (IOC) in interim facilities at three units as of July 2007. In FY08 a fourth unit will reach IOC and will be the first in a permanent facility. ANG requires integrated PREDATOR Operations Centers (POC) and a REAPER Operations Center (ROC) for installation in permanent facilities to incorporate current and future operations equipment in an open architecture design, smoothly integrating current and emerging needs for control of in theater homeland defense missions. The POC/ROC design integrates multiple systems running independently and allow for new tools to support emerging missions. The integrated POC/ROC will be incorporated into the three initial locations, and at two future MQ-1 and MQ-9 units scheduled to reach IOC by early FY10. Additionally, a test bed system is needed to allow for software and hardware upgrade testing thereby assuring configuration control. The ANG has a requirement to provide MQ-1 Predator intelligence collection and dissemination to support Central Command (CENTCOM) and continental US (CONUS) state and national mission. 2. Requirement. Air Combat Command MQ-1 CONOPS, Air National Guard MQ-1 Enabling Concept, and 2007 WEPTAC RD&A Requirements List. 3. Impact If Not Funded. Units will be forced to rely on ad hoc installation of evolving POC/ROC capabilities to meet current and future requirements without the advantage of being fully integrated into an open architecture. The ad hoc configured stand-alone (non-integrated) architecture hampers effective utilization of full POC/ROC capabilities. 4. Units Impacted.

INFORMATION PAPER ON MQ-1/MQ-9 ADVANCED COCKPIT 1. Background. ANG units started full-time MQ-1 operations in Aug 06, and will reach initial operational capability with five units by the middle of FY10. As ANG units progress toward full operational capability they will have additional orbit support capability that can be employed worldwide, including in the continental US (CONUS) to support of Federal and State taskings. The advanced cockpit focuses on human factors to provide intuitive, pilot-like controls, and advanced visualization. Utilizing synthetic vision, mission crews gain enhanced situational awareness with wrap-around field-of-regard and a total air and ground picture. The advanced cockpit will use an open architecture to allow full integration of aircraft, sensor and weapons control, and allow for new requirements from emerging missions. Additionally, the advanced cockpit will incorporate ergonomic seating, ergonomically correct displays, and hand and foot controls, with individual memory function to allow for quick changeovers while mission is underway. 2. Requirement. Air Combat Command MQ-1 CONOPS, Air National Guard MQ-1 Enabling Concept, and 2007 WEPTAC RD&A Requirements List. The ANG has a requirement to provide MQ-1 Predator intelligence collection and dissemination to support current Central Command missions, and to support emerging missions in other combatant commands and CONUS State and Federal missions, which will require evolving capabilities of the Predator Operations Center (POC). 3. Impact If Not Funded. Continued use of the current ground control station cockpit limits the crews for situational awareness and expose them and the aircraft to increased risk due to the poor operator interface and limited capabilities of the current cockpit design. 4.

INFORMATION PAPER ON MQ-1 SENSE/DETECT & AVOID OTHER AIRCRAFT CAPABILITY 1. Background. ANG will have four MQ-1 units by FY08 that will support both overseas and continental US (CONUS) operational missions, and continuation training flights in the CONUS. Federal Aviation Administration regulations require that UASs be equipped with a system to sense and avoid any potential air traffic conflicts. To fully meet the need for ANG support to Federal and State missions supporting national security and homeland defense utilizing the long dwell capability of ANG UASs, a capable sense and avoid system is essential. The USAF AF Research Lab (AFRL) SAA, Phase 1, Man-in-the-Loop (MITL) Advanced Technology Demonstration (ATD) is the first to deliver a lightweight, low-power, low cost UAS collision avoidance system. AFRLs SAA system, developed by Defense Research Associates (DRA), consists of visible sensors, high-speed data processors, and detection and tracking algorithms. This effort leverages several AFRL efforts in passive/active ranging, data fusion and avoidance. DRA has been funded to develop a MITL SAA strap-on kit for the Predator. This program provides an interim capability for 16 operational MITL SAA systems (strap-on kits), and 4 spares (4 operational, 1 spare for each ANG MQ-1 unit) to fly ANG Predator aircraft in the Central Command and the US National Airspace System (NAS), providing deconfliction with other participating and non-participating air traffic. 2. Requirement. Air Combat Command MQ-1 CONOPS, Air National Guard MQ-1 Enabling Concept, and 2007 WEPTAC RD&A Requirements List. FAA Regulation 7610.4, AFI 11-202 Vol 3 and AFI 11-2MQ-1 Vol 3. 3. Impact If Not Funded. Increased potential for air-to-air collisions. Additionally, the FAA would deny or restrict access to the NAS required for domestic operational missions and required training. 4. Units Impacted.

Operational Support Aircraft


C-40C, C-38 & C-21
The ANG supports special mission transportation of Distinguished Visitor (DV) and Congressional Delegation (CODEL).

Distinguished Visitor (DV) and Congressional Delegation (CODEL) missions have unique requirements beyond the traditional support provided to the rest of the ANGs fleet. The ANGs Operational Support Aircraft (OSA) includes the C-40C, C-38, and C-21. The ANGs newest OSA aircraft is the C-40C. The C-40s and C-38s are flown by the 201 AS at Andrews AFB and they provide VIP transportation for Congressional, DoD, Air Force and National Guard travel missions worldwide. Ensuring passenger safety and comfort on all OSA aircraft is our primary mission. The ANGs efforts will continue to focus on keeping these aircraft modern and safe. Since the ANG began the C-40C mission we have experienced a significant increase in the demand for the C-40C platform. In order to improve service and increase mission availability an additional C-40 platform is required. Recent OSA missions have highlighted the need to update the mission and plan for an extended range small capacity aircraft. The 201sts C-38 aircraft are nearing the end of their service life and replacement aircraft require extended range that would complement the capabilities of the C-40 fleet. Recently the ANG has assumed ownership of additional C-21 assets. They require updates to the avionics and airframe to address new FAA requirements. Without this change aircraft operations are restricted and the mission effectiveness and safety may be impacted.

INFORMATION PAPER ON C-38 REPLACEMENT AIRCRAFT PROGRAM 1. Background. A replacement aircraft for the C-38 aircraft is required to support the existing distinguished visitor (DV) transportation fleet at the 201 Airlift Squadron, Andrews AFB. The unit supports Congressional, Executive Branch, Department of Defense, Air Force, and National Guard travel missions worldwide. Current requirements call for four small DV support aircraft. They are currently operating only two C-38 aircraft. Replacing the C-38s would address several operational shortfalls and would significantly improve the mission capability. The replacement aircraft would extend the non-stop range of the aircraft well into European airspace and complement the existing C-40Cs for smaller contingents. This capability would eliminate timeconsuming enroute refueling stops and would decrease extended duty days for passengers and aircrews. 2. Requirement. Mission Need Statement (MNS) 002-94 and Operational Requirements Document (ORD) 002-94 dated 24 July 1994. 3. Impact If Not Funded. The unit is currently operating with only two short range aircraft to fulfill taskings. Requests for support are unfilled because the current aircraft are tasked or dont have the range to complete the mission. The replacement aircraft would improve mission capability by extending the range and increase mission readiness. Without the additional aircraft, the two assets currently owned by the ANG are over tasked and cannot effectively address the units primary mission. 4. Unit Impacted.

INFORMATION PAPER ON C-40C PROCUREMENT 1. Background. The 201 Airlift Squadron District of Columbia Air National Guard provides worldwide air transportation for Congressional Members and Delegations (CODEL), the Executive Branch, Department of Defense (DoD) officials, high-ranking U.S. and foreign dignitaries and HQ USAF inspection team travel. The 201st currently operates three C-40Cs (military modified Boeing 737 Boeing Business Jets (BBJ)). ANG is still one aircraft short of meeting operational requirements. A fourth aircraft would significantly improve fleet readiness and reliability. Scheduled maintenance reduces unit capability and if unscheduled maintenance actions ground additional aircraft there is a good chance that flights will be cancelled. An additional aircraft allows the unit to overlap schedules and significantly improves aircraft availability. Also, the C-40C represents a vast improvement in performance and capability and the ANG already sees an increased demand for its use. In order to increase airlift capability and reliability and support additional airlift requests another aircraft is required. 2. Requirement. Mission Need Statement NGB MNS 001-97 dated 10 Jun 97 and Operational Requirements Document (ORD) ANG ORD 002-02 dated 19 Feb 04. 3. Impact If Not Funded.

INFORMATION PAPER ON C-21 REDUCED VERTICAL SEPARATION MINIMUM (RVSM) MODIFICATIONS 1. Background. In 2003, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) converted US-controlled airspace to Reduced Vertical Separation Minimums (RVSM) requirements. Aircraft flying in RVSM airspace must be configured with avionics equipment that meets specific FAA standards. In FY07 the Air National Guard took possession of 16 C-21A aircraft that do not meet the minimum standards to operate in RVSM airspace. Additionally, the C-21A has an antiquated analog weather radar system which displays insufficiently detailed weather returns. Operating the C-21A at flight levels below 29,000 ft. severely limits the crews ability to climb to avoid adverse weather conditions. 2. Requirement. AF 1067 AMC 01-031, dated 28 Oct 2002. 3. Impact If Not Funded. Without the RVSM modification, aircraft operations will be limited to flight levels below 29,000 ft. This will result in increased fuel consumption and limited crew ability to avoid thunderstorms with inferior weather radar systems. 4. Units Impacted.

INFORMATION PAPER ON C-21 ENHANCED MODE-S 1. Background. Enhanced Mode-S equipment will be required to participate in the European reduced vertical separation minima (RVSM) airspace no later than FY09 and in the United States RVSM airspace as early as FY12. Enhanced surveillance takes the concept of elementary surveillance and adds new aircraft intent reporting fields. These fields will give ATC vertical intent information, aircraft track/turn information and heading/speed reports. In additional to the enhanced Mode-S this modification includes replacing outdated and unsupportable equipment including the dual Global Positioning Systems and dual Flight Management System (FMS) required for remote oceanic capability. 2. Requirement. AF 1067 AMC 01-031, dated 28 Oct 2002. 3. Impact If Not Funded. Currently no ANG C-21 aircraft are equipped with this capability. In addition, there is a waiver with the European Union to operate with enhanced Mode-S. After 2009, it is likely that the waiver will expire. Without these modifications C-21 operations in European airspace will have increased restrictions and limited utility. 4. Units Impacted.

INFORMATION PAPER ON C-21 DUAL FLIGHT MANAGEMENT SYSTEM (FMS) 1. Background. Currently the C-21 has a single Flight Management System (FMS) that is rapidly becoming obsolete and will soon be unsupportable as well as a Global Positioning System (GPS) that is no longer supportable. In order to repair the GPS, the Air Logistics Centers must locate parts from current inventory or remove from aircraft in storage. Also, the FMS does not have enough memory to install the current databases for United States and European airspace. The proposed system will install dual GPSs and FMSs that support oceanic remote capability, have ample memory for current databases and will meet the updated Communications/Navigation/Surveillance / Air Traffic Management (CNS/ATM) requirements. 2. Requirement. AF 1067 AMC 01-031, dated 28 Oct 2002. 3. Impact If Not Funded. Currently no ANG C-21 aircraft have this equipment. This capability is required to address CNS/ATM requirements.

Operations ENDURING FREEDOM and IRAQI FREEDOM identified limitations in the protection provided by current Tactical Air Control Party (TACP) High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicle (HMMWV) in the inventory. As a result of the current worldwide threat analysis, there is an immediate need to field an Up-Armored HMMWV. The M-1145, or its suitable substitute, will provide increased protection for TACPs on the battlefield. Approximately $32M in PDM-III funding has been allocated to purchase these Up-Armored Variants. However, due to the increased cost in production, the PDM-III funding does not fully satisfy all ANG requirements. 2. Requirement. This is a Unit Type Code (UTC) requirement. TACPs require funding to procure the Up-Armored HMMWVs identified in the UTCs they are responsible for fielding. 3. Impact If Not Funded. UTCs are built with the assumption that all organizations assigned that UTC will be identically equipped. Without funding to purchase the UpArmored HMMWVs identified in the UTCs, the TACPs will be forced to use vehicles without the increased Up-Armored protection, and therefore deviate from established deployment and regeneration plans. Deployable Up-Armored HMMWVs, constructed of increased armor protection, are better suited to operate in the austere and hostile environments to which the TACPs typically deploy. The lack of Up-Armored HMMWVs will hinder the operational effectiveness and safety of TACP personnel when deployed. 4. Units Impacted.

DMO

Distributed Mission Operations and Simulation Systems

The Air National Guards DMO program supports all weapon systems and includes both flight and mission crew trainers to provide high fidelity, immersive simulators for individual, team, inter-team, and full mission rehearsal training.

The ANG maintains two unique organizations to develop and deploy DMO. The Distributed Training Operations Center (DTOC), a detachment of the 132 Fighter Wing, IA ANG, focuses on virtual training events for the warfighter. A one-of-a-kind organization within the Air Force, the DTOC will support over 50 training sites in FY08 by providing persistent network operations, subject matter expertise, White Force support and scenario development. The Mission Training Engineering Center (MTEC), co-located with the Air Force Research Center (AFRL/HEA), in Mesa, AZ, is the focal point for engineering development and simulation technology insertion for the Guard. In partnership with AFRL, MTEC helps transition cutting edge technology. The Plans and Requirements Directorate (NGB/A5R) has an aggressive plan to field a high fidelity training system at every ANG unit. To that end, FY08 will see the initiation of the Multi-Mission Crew Trainer (MMCT) program to field systems to support four Guard-unique Intellegence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance platforms. The ANGs advanced simulation program will also see the deployment of the KC-135 Boom Operator Simulation System (BOSS) in FY08. In addition, the F-16 Block 30 next generation Full Combat Mission Trainer (FCMT) will reach Initial Operational Capability prior to deployment to the 158 FW in Burlington, VT. Other programs, such as the F-16 Unit Training Device and the A-10 Full Mission Trainer, will see major upgrades in the coming year.

INFORMATION PAPER ON F-16 FULL COMBAT MISSION TRAINER (FCMT) 1. Background. The ANG does not have a high fidelity F-16 simulator that is fully capable of Distributed Mission Operations (DMO). The ANG supports a two pronged approach to filling this requirement. First, a fourship Mission Training Center (MTC) will be deployed beginning in FY 08/09 to provide enhanced capability for the Block 30 community. Each MTC will consist of four Full Combat Mission Trainers (FCMTs), brief/debrief facilities, and long-haul DMO connectivity. The FCMT is a next generation, very high fidelity cockpit and operating system encompassing state-of-the-art technologies. The heart of the FCMT concept is the common computational unit which allows rapid, low cost software concurrency with unit aircraft. In parallel, the ANG plans to field one or two FCMTs I each of the remaining Block 30/32 combat units. A future growth area for the MTC/FCMT concept is to include training systems for ANG Block 42/52 units. 2. Requirement. CSAF F-16 Block 30/40/50 Roadmap. ACC F-16 Block 30 CDD (Draft) and ACC F-16 Block 30/40 ORDs. 3. Impact If Not Funded. Failure to fund this requirement precludes completion of the CSAF/ANG F-16 DMO Roadmap. Mission rehearsal and tactics development for ANG F-16 pilots will not meet current or future training requirements or be on par with active duty aircrew. 4. Units Impacted.

INFORMATION PAPER ON A-10 FULL MISSION TRAINER (FMT) 1. Background. The ANG, AF Reserve Command, and Air Combat Command have jointly fielded a high fidelity flight simulator with 360 full field of vision displays and Distributed Mission Operations capability for the A-10 community. Funding by the lead command for additional procurement beyond the devices currently fielded ended in FY03, but restarted with two additional devices funded in FY07 and five in FY08 for active duty units. Once on contract, eighteen months are required for delivery to the field. The ANG has a final requirement for six FMTs to complete the deployment of one or two devices per unit with associated briefing and debriefing suite, threat systems, equipment and software. Four ANG units, 110 FW, 124 FW, 175 WG and 188 FW, currently have one FMT each. The FMT at the 175 WG was ANG funded in FY04. This FMT was the first A-10C model simulator in the USAF with the Precision Engagement upgrade. To meet post-BRAC requirements, there is an immediate need to fund an A-10 FMT for delivery to the 127 FW in 1QFY09 and to provide the second FMT at the 175 WG in 2QFY09. The FMT is a critical component for the A-10A to A-10C conversion and for aircrew continuation training and mission rehearsal. As ANG units convert to the A-10C model, unit owned A-10A FMTs will also be upgraded to the C configuration to assure concurrency. It is essential that ACC fund the final two required FMTs to complete fielding. 2. Requirement. A-10 ORD 19 Oct 1999 and Combat Air Forces DMO Roadmap. 3. Impact If Not Funded. Failure to fund this requirement precludes completion of the CSAF A-10 DMO Roadmap. Mission rehearsal and tactics development for all ANG A-10 aircrews will not be available. Conversion training for the 127 FW will be impacted negatively. 4. Units Impacted.

INFORMATION PAPER ON KC-135 BOOM OPERATOR SIMULATION SYSTEM (BOSS) 1. Background. No USAF tanker units have a squadron level training device for boom operators. Air Education and Training Command (AETC) will deliver the first Boom Operator Weapon System Trainer (BOWST) simulator to the formal training center at Altus AFB in December 2007. In order to meet a continuation training shortfall, the ANG is sponsoring development of a low cost, fully Distributed Mission Operations (DMO) capable, immersive simulator with a high fidelity replication of the pod, controls, aircraft and boom flight model and full external display. The device will be small enough to fit in a standard operations building and not require a purpose built simulator facility. The prototype will leverage existing development of the BOWST software to minimize costs repackaged into a smaller footprint. The major technical difference between the two devices will be the display systems. The BOSS will use a three channel digital stereo high definition display, including the side windows, to produce very high fidelity 3-D images. The boom operator is thereby provided with realistic depth perception and a fully functional periscope. The majority of the integration effort will be to employ the 3-D system and integrate DMO functionality including data bases, gateway and EXCite Ops threat environment. The prototype will undergo operational utility evaluation (OUE), DMO integration and platform testing at the ANGs Mission Training Engineering Center to leverage existing engineering capability and on-site A-10 and F-16C simulators. 2. Requirement. Training System Requirements Analysis and System Requirements Document under development by 12th MSG/TFD. A total of 17 BOSS production standard trainers are required for the ANG. 3. Impact If Not Funded. In the absence of squadron level, high fidelity devices with DMO capability, ANG boom operators will not have any on-station ability to perform continuation training. As aircraft training sortie availability declines, boom operators will not be able to maintain required levels of readiness. 4. Units Impacted. All ANG KC-135 units will benefit from this training capability. In addition, AF (both active duty and Reserve) units may participate in the program at a later date and purchase the BOSS. 5.

INFORMATION PAPER ON E-8C MISSION SYSTEM TRAINER (MST) 1. Background. The existing Block 20 Mission Maintenance Trainer (MMT) is not a true simulator, but it is currently used for Initial Qualification Training (IQT). As a result of not having two mission simulators, Distributed Mission Operations (DMO) events are forced to compete for time slots with the current IQT schedule from the training squadron. A second, more capable Block 30 Mission System Trainer (MST) is required to address limited simulator availability, to reduce the threat to the training pipeline from a single point of failure, and to enable instruction on recently fielded or emerging capabilities during the Global War on Terrorism (GWOT). The current MMT only meets 8 out of 57 desired requirements. Upgrading the current MMT would meet approximately 20 out of the 57 requirements while new simulator would meet all 57 requirements. The cost estimates account for all components identified within the existing, but obsolete, Block 10 trainer which may be reused resulting in a substantial cost savings. This upgrade would enhance the joint war fighting capability across all the Services. 2. Requirement. JSTARS ORD, Version 5 Section 5.6.2.5.2, 5.e.2.j.3. 3. Impact If Not Funded. JSTARS formal training and follow-on continuation training (CT) for the mission crew depends upon relevant, updated simulation trainers. Without delivering a new MST, the existing MMT is a single point of failure for both the formal training unit and CT in operational squadrons forcing the 116 ACW to continue use of operational aircraft as training devices during exercises or on the battlefield, driving up operational cost and tying up a critical low density high demand asset. Recent spikes in fuel prices and the USAF effort to increase DMO capability have only made the need for simulated training even more critical. The ability to consistently train mission ready JSTARS crews will continue to worsen without a more redundant simulator configuration; it will also remain impossible for crews to be trained for recently fielded and emerging missions until the far more expensive flying phases of their training. 4.

INFORMATION PAPER ON RC-26B MISSION CREW TRAINER (MCT) 1. Background. The RC-26B is an airborne intelligence surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR) platform that supports counter drug as well as state and national emergency and contingency operations. The aircrew consists of 2 pilots and 1 Mission System Operator (MSO) with an additional crew position for a law enforcement representative. Currently, there are no training systems for MSOs as required by AF Instruction 36-2251. Training must be accomplished during live sorties, which presents cost and scheduling issues. As a critical low density/high demand (LD/HD) ISR platform, the RC-26B has been tasked heavily since 9/11 for operations involving Department of Defense, law enforcement and interagency operations. Additionally, funded mission system upgrades have created additional training requirements. As a part of the ANGs overall Multi-Mission Crew Trainer (MMCT) program for ISR platforms, the RC-26B mission crew trainer will ensure standardized training for all MSOs for both initial qualification and continuation training. The overarching MMCT combines four ISR trainer requirements into one program that provides economies of scale, solutions with shared technology, single program management, parallel spiral improvements affordability, common architecture and software. The RC-26B Formal Training Unit located in Bridgeport, WV will receive the RC-26B crew trainer to enhance MSO training. The MCT will also be used by the other ten RC-26B units for continuation training when available. 2. Requirement. The system is based upon Operational Requirements Document (ORD) USAF (CAF) 304-93-I/II/III-A dated 4 August 1994 and Program Management Directive (PMD) 2368 (2)/PE# 54314 dated 17 Dec 1997. 3. Impact If Not Funded. As mission areas expand, a lack of training capacity will degrade mission effectiveness and increase risks to mission accomplishment and safety of flight. 4. Units Impacted.

INFORMATION PAPER ON C-130 MULTI-MISSION CREW TRAINER (MMCT) 1. Background. The C-130 MMCT program is part of a larger MMCT initiative to provide all ANG ISR platforms with an immersive, high fidelity, DMO capable trainer. The overarching MMCT program will combine four trainer requirements, including the RC-26B, into one program that provides economies of scale, shared technology solutions, single program management / oversight, parallel spiral improvements and affordability. The program also includes development of a common architecture and software package and concurrency support in accordance with AFI 36-2251. A combined Training System Support Center will also be established. The C-130 portion of the MMCT includes SCATHE VIEW, a roll-on roll-off capability on eight modified C-130Hs located in Reno, NV; COMMANDO SOLO EC-130Js in Harrisburg PA; and SENIOR SCOUT, a sheltered and palleted system, designed for installation in specially configured C-130E/H aircraft. Initial developmental work on the SCATHE VIEW system will include non-recurring engineering that supports future funding for SENIOR SCOUT and COMMANDO SOLO. Due to the expanding need for low density/high demand (LD/HD) ISR platforms, all three systems have been tasked heavily since 9/11 for operations in support of Operation IRAQI FREEDOM and in search and rescue operations after Hurricane Katrina. This high Ops Tempo has identified a need for mission training in several different mission areas and environments. 2. Requirement. AFI 36-2251 requires a companion training system for all weapon systems. 3. Impact If Not Funded. In the absence of an mission specific MCT, units will lack the ability to effectively train personnel in a reduced flying hour environment. For example in FY06, over 250 dedicated flight hours required used to support SCATHE VIEW Operator training. 4. Units Impacted.

INFORMATION PAPER ON DISTRIBUTED TRAINING OPERATIONS CENTER (DTOC) 1. Background. The DTOC is organizationally structured as a distributed warfare detachment at the 132 FW, Des Moines, IA. The DTOC manages a dedicated secure network called ARCNet that provides persistent distributed mission operations (DMO) capability to the air reserve component (ARC) as well as many active duty and joint sites. In the absence of actual or virtual players, the DTOC White Force has trained subject matter experts who can role play to round out the event scenario to enhance the training value to the warfighter. The DTOC, as the ARCNet nexus, provides a direct connection via portal to the USAFs Distributed Mission Network (DMON) and the Distributed Mission Operations Center (DMOC) at Kirtland AFB. The DTOC also maintains a Joint Training and Experimentation Network (JTEN) portal for connections with coalition partners and non-DMON joint sites. The DTOC requires two multilevel security (MLS) systems and a Joint Terminal Air Control (JTAC) dome simulator. 2. Requirement. ANG DMO CONOPS, dated 15 March 2006. 3. Impact If Not Funded. The DTOC provides Distributed Mission Training (DMT) capability to simulators operating at different classification levels. These DMT events must be isolated due to the differences in classification of information passed. Without a multi level security solution, DMT will continue to be limited to platforms that can operate at the same security level. Two MLS systems are required for current DMO users; one to work at higher security and one at lower security. If DTOC local simulators are not funded, training opportunities will be lost due to lack of availability of distributed sites to participate in DMO events. A JTAC dome is required to provide Joint Close Air Support (JCAS) training until the Joint Terminal Control Training and Rehearsal System (JTC TRS) is fully fielded. Local flight simulators, manned by DTOC personnel will provide virtual aircraft for training JTACs. Without simulators, JTACs will be controlling computer-generated aircraft with less fidelity and lower training value. 4. Units Impacted. The DTOC currently provides DMT training to 52 fighter, intelligence / surveillance / reconnaissance and command and control sites, including Homeland Defense sites. The DTOC will eventually provide DMO capability at up to 78 ANG flying and C2 locations and 7 AF Reserve Command locations plus additional active duty locations. 5. Contractors.

INFORMATION PAPER ON MISSION TRAINING ENGINEERING CENTER (MTEC) 1. Background. The ANG developed the MTEC in collaboration with AF Reserve Command, AF Research Lab (AFRL) in Mesa, AZ, and ACC/A8 to provide technology and systems integration, technology transfer, and spiral development of simulators owned by the Combat Air Forces. Organizationally, MTEC is an operating location under the ANG Plans and Requirements Directorate (NGB/A5). The formal relationship between AFRL and the ANG is governed by a memorandum of agreement. The MTEC provides a sustained and configured DMO software library which supports USAF DMO systems. This software mirrors actual aircraft software and is integral to development of simulators, threat systems, and DMO training events. MTEC will be the quick reaction, technical support agency with engineering resources to transition research and development programs and integrate legacy simulation assets with government / commercial off the shelf (GOTS) / (COTS) solutions, enhancing the capability of the Distributed Training Operations Center (DTOC) to provide DMO capability to the Air Reserve Component. As a primary source of high quality, government furnished hardware, software and documentation data, MTEC will also support USAF and coalition DMO. 2. Requirement. The USAF Distributed Mission Operations (DMO) Implementation Plan provides direction for implementation across the Air Force. Specific ANG tasks are delineated in the various Implementation Plan actions contained in Appendix 1 and are supported by MTEC. Funding is needed to procure hardware for engineering and development of simulation systems and engineering services. 3. Impact If Not Funded. Without the MTEC, users will have to rely upon commercial proprietary sources for engineering solutions at a much higher cost and less ANG control of schedule and performance. 4. Units Impacted. The benefit of having a viable MTEC will be shared by all units supported by the DMO, which equates to sixty-three ANG flying and command and control locations and seven AF Reserve Command locations as well as numerous active duty units. 5.

INFORMATION PAPER ON MQ-1/MQ-9 DESKTOP TRAINING SYSTEM 1. Background. The ANG will have five operational MQ-1 Predator / MQ-9 Reaper units and a formal training unit by FY10. The Predator and Reaper aircraft are controlled through a ground control station that has a difficult human machine interface which requires a high level of proficiency to safely operate. With two-thirds of the aircrews programmed to be part-time personnel, a part-task procedural trainer is necessary for crews to remain at a high level of proficiency prior to assuming control of a combat mission in the Ground Control Station (GCS). This PC based, low cost training device will allow formal and informal procedural training and review for aircrews to maintain the high level of proficiency required. Each unit, including the Formal Training Unit (FTU), will be configured with two systems to meet crew training needs. Additional systems could be used in a classroom environment. The ANG has a requirement to provide MQ-1 Predator intelligence collection and dissemination to support current Central Command missions, and to support emerging missions in other combatant commanders and continental US state and national missions, which will require evolving capabilities of the Predator Operations Cell / Reaper Operations Cell. 2. Requirement. Air Combat Command MQ-1 Concept of Operations, ANG MQ-1 Enabling Concept, and 2007 WEPTAC RD&A Requirements List. 3. Impact If Not Funded. Units will be required to rely on the Predator Mission Aircrew Training Simulator (PMATS) for procedural training, thereby reducing the time available for full-up mission scenario training. If PMATS cannot support needed training, part-time aircrews will be forced to assume additional risk during combat with minimal proficiency. 4. Units Impacted.

INFORMATION PAPER ON HH-60G FULL MISSION TRAINER (FMT) PROTOTYPE 1. Background. The ANG has three rescue wings, each are equipped with six HH-60G, and either four or five HC-130 aircraft. Although AF Reserve Command (AFRC) and active duty rescue units also have HH-60G aircraft, the only simulator available is located at the training center at Kirtland AFB NM. ANG aircrews are required to attend three refresher sorties every two years. Current funding by the lead command does not include any additional FMTs for the ANG or AFRC. The ANG has proposed a prototype development program for a trainer to meet requirements with a high fidelity, full cabin, non-motion simulator that will incorporate state-ofthe-art technology and DMO capabilities. The prototype will be constructed at the ANGs Mission Training Engineering Center as part of a technology demonstration initiative. Following development and operational testing of the prototype, a follow-on production decision will be made. FMTs will allow ANG aircrews to conduct frequent mission rehearsal and Air Expeditionary Force training events as well as continuation, emergency procedures and upgrade training at home station at significant savings. DMO capability will enhance readiness by providing opportunities for full combat search and rescue training scenarios. 2. Requirement. USAF DMO Implementation Plan. The ANG has a requirement for a total of three FMTs with associated briefing and debriefing suite, threat systems, equipment and software. 3. Impact If Not Funded. Failure to fund this requirement precludes completion of the CSAF HH-60G DMO Roadmap. Mission rehearsal and tactics development for all ANG HH-60G aircrews will not be available. 4. Units Impacted.

INFORMATION PAPER ON ACS CONTROL AND REPORTING CENTER (CRC) SIMULATION PACKAGE (CSP) DMO CONNECTIVITY 1. Background. Air Control Squadrons (ACS) are low density/high demand (LD/HD) assets deployed to several combat theaters in support of the Global War on Terrorism, and additionally support all presidential movements. They currently lack mission rehearsal or distributed training capability and are unable to practice realistic theater wide mission scenarios prior to deployment into combat theaters. The CRC Simulation Package (CSP), funded by Air Combat Command, provides the ACSs the capability train to operational levels of warfighting, but does not allow them to participate in training events at home station. The Distributed Training Operations Center (DTOC) provides persistent distributed mission training capability for a part-time force and many active duty and joint sites. The DTOC is the network and operations center that connects all Air Reserve Component (ARC) simulators into the Distributed Mission Operations (DMO) environment and provides a direct connection to the USAFs Distributed Mission Network (DMON) and the Distributed Mission Operations Center (DMOC) at Kirtland AFB. The network, called ARCNet, also provides the link between ARC simulators and many active duty simulator systems. In the absence of actual, virtual players, the DTOC White Force has trained subject matter experts who can role play to round out the event scenario to enhance the training value. 2. Requirement. AFI 13-1MCS Vol 1. 3. Impact If Not Funded. Per AFI 13-1MCS Vol 1, mission crew members must have the capability to accomplish required mission types via simulation to maintain Crew Mission Readiness (CMR). Without ARCNet connectivity through the DTOC, ACSs will not have access to the DMO assets that provide vertical and horizontal integration of theater C2ISR assets and will be controlling computer generated aircraft with less fidelity and lower training value. 4.

INFORMATION PAPER ON AIR CONTROL SQUADRON DIGICOMP AIR SURVEILLANCE AND AIR CONTROL (ASAC) 1. Background. Air Control Squadrons (ACS) control air-to-air, air refueling, and air-tosurface missions. The primary weapon systems components are the AN/TPS-75 radar, AN/TYQ23 Operations Module (OM) and AN/TSC-147 Joint Tactical Information Distribution System (JTIDS). Typically, not all ACS training requirements are satisfied in their locally designated airspace. ANG ACSs experience sporadic availability for missions followed by periods of increased sorties for several weeks or periods of severely decreased sorties. ACSs require robust training suites to ensure their crews attain and retain combat readiness. The reduction and realignment of OMs to support mission unit type codes (UTCs) prevent ANG ACSs from simultaneously controlling missions and performing surveillance, and data link training. They cannot accept missions on short notice without impacting scheduled critical training. ACS mission crew training is impossible due to the lack of available OMs. The ASAC system gives ANG the capability to increase operator control positions, work with additional flying wings, remote airspaces, weapons ranges, resulting in increased ACS crew proficiency. Of the total program cost of $3.5M, $0.5M was funded in FY07; however, the amount was insufficient to execute a contract. The remaining funding requirement is detailed below. 2. Requirement. AFI 13-1MCS Vol. 1, Table 4.2. increased simulation training requirements. 3. Impact If Not Funded. ACS mission crews will be unable to accomplish required simulation and live mission training to maintain crew mission readiness. 4. Units Impacted.

INFORMATION PAPER ON RANGELESS AIR COMBAT MANUVERING INSTRUMENTATION (ACMI) 1. Background. Rangeless capability has been a long-standing requirement of the Combat Air Force (CAF). The next generation of pod (P-5) carried by aircraft provides this by leveraging global positioning system receivers, data recorders and on-board simulation technology to provide Air Combat Maneuvering Instrumentation (ACMI) training independent of ground instrumentation, allowing this training to occur at any location and through Distributed Mission Operations (DMO). This capability provides greater training to pilots by increasing development of situational awareness and more effective debriefing. Currently most ANG units must deploy to a Combat Readiness Training Center (CRTC) to train with a traditional tethered ACMI system. The P-5 system also reduces operations tempo while providing higher levels of more complex training. With the limited availability of traditional, part-time ANG pilots, and the high operations tempo being maintained, it is essential to maximize training opportunities. The CAF Combat Training Range Review Board has programmed 80 P-5 pods for the ANG as well as an additional 100 pods being replaced at the Gulfport ACMI range as a result of Hurricane Katrina. The ANG needs 200 more pods to meet immediate requirements. 2. Requirement. Ready Aircrew Program Tasking messages; CAF Training Ranges and Airspace Mission Support Plan, FY 03; ANG MD 10.01; CAF MNS 330-88 Improved Combat Training Space, 22 Sep 99 and is revision #5 to CAF ORD #305-76-I/II/III-H for P-5 Combat Training System, dated 29 July, 2004 (based upon TAF ROC 305-76, Improvements to TAF Ranges, validated 6 Dec 76). 3. Impact If Not Funded. The current Quadrennial Defense Review states: The uniquely American superiority in training is eroding, particularly as evident in the aging infrastructure and instrumentation of US training ranges. The rangeless pod is necessary to restore that training capacity. 4. Units Impacted.

INFORMATION PAPER ON RC/C-26 JOINT WEAPON SYSTEM TRAINER (JWST) 1. Background. The C-26 aircraft is flown exclusively by the ANG and Army National Guard in two configurations. The dedicated Intelligence Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) RC26B flown by the Air National Guard is a highly mobile platform that supports counter drug, Homeland Defense and overseas contingency operations. The aircrew consists of 2 pilots and 1 Mission System Operator (MSO) with an additional crew position for a law enforcement representative. The C-26A model is flown by the Army Guard as a utility transport aircraft. The flight deck instrumentation differs with a glass cockpit upgrade installed on only the A models. The ARNGs Fixed Wing Army Aviation Training School (FWAATS) and the 130 AW RC-26 Formal Training Unit are both co-located in Bridgeport, WV. Currently, all simulator training is contracted at Flight Safety International, Inc. facilities in San Antonio, TX. This contract costs the ANG and ARNG over $1.2 million per year plus additional travel and per diem costs. The actual training is conducted in a civilian Metroliner 23 simulator very different from the C-26. The Adjutant General of West Virginia has proposed that the JWST be a quickly reconfigurable, high fidelity, DMO capable simulator for both formal school house training, continuation and mission rehearsal training. For ANG training, the JWST will be locally networked to the RC-26B Mission Crew Trainer being developed under a different program. The JWST will be the first simulator in the ANG inventory designed for multi-service use eliminating the need for duplicate simulator systems. 2. Requirement. Both the RC-26B FTU and the C-26 FWAATS syllabi have simulator requirements for the formal course students. 3. Impact If Not Funded. As mission areas expand, limited training assets will degrade mission effectiveness and increase risks to mission accomplishment and safety of flight. 4. Units Impacted.

INFORMATION PAPER ON JOINT THREAT EMITTER (JTE) 1. Background. The ANG has a shortfall in electronic warfare (EW) training. To meet Ready Aircrew Program (RAP) tasking requirements, the ANGs intermediate training ranges require the JTE to simulate a realistic Integrated Air Defense (IADS) environment. These ranges are located at the four Combat Readiness Training Centers (CRTC) plus Smoky Hill Range, KS. These ranges have the airspace and real estate infrastructure necessary to fully utilize the JTE full capabilities. The JTE has been selected as the next generation threat emitter to replace existing systems that are becoming obsolete. The acquisition of JTE will provide regional access to ANG units to accomplish realistic IADS training from home station and during deployments to the CRTCs. Utilizing Distributed Mission Operations (DMO) technology, units will be able to link to geographically dispersed training assets. The Combat Air Force (CAF) Combat Training Range Review Board has programmed nine JTEs for the ANG but are not scheduled to be delivered until outside the FYDP. The JTE provides aviators with the most realistic electronic threat simulation possible (short of the real threat). This accurate re-creation of threat signals will allow aviators to hone their initial EW skills and add increasingly difficult threat scenarios for a constantly changing challenge. The realistic battlefield allows these aviators to evaluate and execute sophisticated targeting based on the electronic order of battle (EOB). Threat simulators will be tied into the Air Combat Maneuver Instrumentation (ACMI) systems at the CRTCs. 2. Requirement. JTE USAF awarded program, FY 2002; RAP Tasking messages; CAF Training Ranges and Airspace Mission Support Plan, FY 03; ANG MD 10.01; Operations Requirement Document CAF 330-88-II-B, Joint Threat Emitter, 18 July 02. 3.

INFORMATION PAPER ON AIR AND SPACE OPERATIONS CENTER (AOC) DISTRIBUTED MISSION OPERATIONS (DMO) CAPABILITY 1. Background. The Air Reserve Component (ARC) AOC augmentation units are increasing from five to thirteen beginning in FY08 as a result of Base Realignment and Closure and Total Force Initiatives (TFI). The ability for these units to train in-garrison will be a major hurdle in meeting Chief of Staffs vision to field a fully qualified and mission ready AOC force. Lack of DMO connectivity and equipment shortfalls will adversely affect integration with COCOM AOCs. ARC personnel must remain competent in the daily duties of their AOC positions in order to maintain mission ready status. With external and advanced training opportunities diminishing due to fiscal constraints, AOC participants require systems and associated communications infrastructure to participate with the Distributed Training Operations Center (DTOC) and its weekly exercise scenarios. AOC units need the capability to connect on a daily basis to a DMO gateway in order to participate in distributed, virtual, live and constructive operations. This connectivity must allow units to participate in AF, joint, and ARC training venues. Until a full complement of Block 10 training equipment is received, the ARC AOCs need robust DMO capability to effectively train all applicable AOC divisions and squadrons. The acquisition of DMO capability will greatly enhance each units ability to train and support contingency operations. 2. Requirement. Listed as a Critical Combat Capability requirement on the C2ISR 2006 Weapons and Tactics Conference list. AOC ORD, CAF DMO I-Plan, AFI 13-1AOC Vol 1. 3. Impact If Not Funded. If not funded, ARC AOC augmentation units will not have access to the DMO assets that provide training on vertical and horizontal integration of theater C2ISR assets. Per AFI 13-1AOC Vol. 1, AOC training consists of both academic and positional training in live, virtual and/or constructive environments to emulate a contingency and wartime environments. 4.

INFORMATION PAPER ON I-FACT DISTRIBUTED MISSION OPERATIONS HEAD-MOUNTED DISPLAY 1. Background. The Indirect Fire-Forward Air Control Trainer (I-FACT) provides ANG Joint Terminal Attack Controllers (JTACs) with the ability to simulate guiding precision air and artillery strikes at home station. It is the first commercially available system designed to train ground controllers in tactics, techniques and procedures for successful joint close air support (JCAS) operations. Connecting the TACP I-FACT to the Air Reserve Component Network (ARCNet) via the Distributed Training Operations Center (DTOC) will connect Joint Terminal Attack Controllers (JTAC) to pilots for persistent training. It allows the JTACs to practice missions prior to deployment and get more bang for the buck with live fighters. In addition, IFACT offers a rehearsal feature that is useful in preparation for combat deployments as well as an immediate after action review to reinforce lessons learned. The Head Mounted Display (HMD) complements the I-FACT by providing a full interactive view of a virtual battlefront for JTAC home station training. 2. Requirement. The HMD provides the required degree of resolution to identify aircraft in live training. The I-FACT, along with the HMD, allows JTACS to improve aircraft simulation qualities and recreate live training exercises. This requirement aligns with Joint Close Air Support Action Plan, Issue 2. 3. Impact If Not Funded. The JTACs key role is to guide precision air and artillery strikes. Without the HMDs, they will lack the degree of resolution the required to identify aircraft in live training. 4. Units Impacted.

SPACE & IO
The mission of the United States Air Force is to fly and fight in air, space, and cyberspace. Air National Guard Space and Information Operations provide a significant role in this mission. SPACE
The 137 Space Warning Squadron, Greeley, Colorado provides critical, timesensitive missile warning, space launch, and nuclear detonation data to NORAD, COCOMs, JCS, SECDEF, and POTUS. The 137th provides a unique, one-of-a-kind mission and is the sole operator of the USAFs survivable and endurable mobile warning system. The 137th provides direct support to the warfighter by supplying threat data while deployed as well as on a 24-hour a day basis while in-garrison. The 137th is manned by 81 full-time ANG personnel and 204 traditional ANG personnel. Arizona Headquarters Detachment 2, a 27-person unit, operates the high altitude operations portion of the joint warfighting space mission for AFSPC. The high altitude operations mission consists of a free-floating balloon known as Combat SkySat. Currently the payload provides ground-to-ground communications but the payload has the ability to conduct ISR missions with a simple modification. Det 2 is the only unit in the USAF currently conducting the developmental testing for the high altitude operations mission. Det 2 has successfully demonstrated the capability with the 162 Combat Communication Group during their annual disaster response scenario exercise in June 07. Several unified commands have expressed an urgent need for a high altitude operations capability in their AORs.

INFORMATION OPERATIONS
The Network Warfare Training and Integration (NWTI) Range allows the 273 Information Operations Squadron (IOS) personnel to develop and test tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs). Currently, personnel only have access to the live, active duty range, if and when it is available, causing training and mission inefficiencies. This range, a CITS Block 30, gives the 273 IOS and the ANG its own, dedicated NWTI range, enabling their own training in addition to enabling other ANG Network Warfare Squadrons the capability to fire for training or test technology-based Network Defense.

INFORMATION PAPER ON COMBAT SKYSAT PAYLOADS 1. Background. The Combat SkySat system is a free-floating, balloon-borne, high altitude, radio repeater system developed by the Air Force Space Battlelab for Air Force Space Command (AFSPC). The system is operated by Arizona ANG Detachment 2. At altitude, it provides a single channel ultra high frequency (UHF) radio repeater that works with standard military radios (PRC-148, PRC-117, and PSC-5). Currently, neither the ANG nor AFSPC maintain a supply of payloads for immediate response, rather payloads are purchased from the vendor in response to a specific request. The vendor then has 90-120 days to build and deliver the payloads for use. As a result, payloads are not ready for immediate use in response to a short notice requirement. 2. Requirement. AFSPC concept of operations requires the unit to operate and maintain 75 Starfighter version 1 payloads (UHF repeaters) and to have them ready for a short notice, worldwide deployment tasking. 3. Impact If Not Funded. Failure to fund this requirement will preclude the use of the Combat SkySat system for unforeseen domestic emergencies and short notice worldwide tasking. 4. Unit Impacted.

INFORMATION PAPER ON MOBILE GROUND SYSTEM EVOLUTION 1. Background. The Colorado Air National Guard, 137 Space Warning Squadron (SWS) supports the National Integrated Tactical Warning and Attack Assessment (ITW/AA) mission. This mission is supported with a unique, one-of-a-kind Mobile Ground System (MGS). The critical information generated by the MGS provides situational awareness to the National Command Authority (NCA), Commander, US Strategic Command (CDRUSSTRATCOM) and the entire survivable national command and control community. The MGS processes and transmits missile warning data and attack assessment information using the Defense Support System (DSP) satellites. The 137 SWS maintains 6 deployable units to support this mission. The primary mission vehicle is the AN/MSQ-118. This vehicle is used to downlink and process the DSP satellite data. These vehicles were fielded in the early 1980s and have been maintained to an unprecedented operational standard throughout their career. The age of the equipment is quickly making the AN/MSQ-118 processing system unsupportable. An effort is under way to modify the MGS with proven hardware and software used in the Mission Control System (MCS), which is the fixed-base system that supports the ITW/AA mission. This new hardware and software will ensure the MGS remains sustainable and viable throughout all future planned upgrades to the ITW/AA system. 2. Requirement. Draft Mission Need Statement for Unit Type Code (UTC) 6SAA1 (Mobile Ground System) Deployed Infrastructure Program, 9 Apr 04. 3. Impact If Not Funded. Failure to fund an upgrade will affect the ability of the MGS to maintain its critical operational status. Additionally, without an upgraded MGS maintenance costs will continue to spiral upwards due to acquisition delays for reverse engineering and extended repair cycles. If a modernization program is not funded, the MGS will not be compatible with future satellite systems and the ITW/AA function. 4. Unit Impacted.

INFORMATION PAPER ON RC-26B BLOCK 20 SOFTWARE/HARDWARE SPIRAL DEVELOPMENT 1. Background. The RC-26B is a low density, high demand intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR) platform that can be rapidly deployed to operations in the US and overseas. The RC-26B platform operates in the continental US and deploys to theaters outside the US to conduct counter narco-terrorist missions or directly support the Global War on Terrorism. Aircraft mission systems record and downlink full motion video for use by Special Operations Forces (SOF), the law enforcement community, host nations, and other government agencies. After completion of system upgrades to 5 SOF modified aircraft for deployment it has been determined that several mission system shortfalls need to be corrected in order to exploit the modifications to their fullest. Additionally, the remaining 6 aircraft will require the same modifications due to replacement of the current forward looking infra-red (FLIR) sensor. These shortfalls include: high definition (HD) video storage and tagging; a second mission systems monitor; updated laser cutout setting; addition of a 60 Hz inverter, digital video recorders (DVR) with Mission Systems Operator (MSO) control to include AVI format/video edit capability; higher accuracy altimeter reading at MSO station (from flight management system (FMS) to global positioning system (GPS)) and a secondary source of aircraft positioning if GPS at MSO station is lost. 2. Requirement. MAJCOM (ANG) approved AF Form 1067. 3. Impact If Not Funded. Degraded systems negatively impact mission effectiveness and efficiency. Without the required mods video storage is near impossible, temp installed monitor creates a hazard to crew safety, current inverter cannot handle power load, no editing of video creates huge unnecessary storage bandwidth requirements and inaccurate altitude and GPS position information can lead to misidentifying targets. 4.

INFORMATION PAPER ON RC-26B BEYOND LINE-OF-SIGHT (BLOS) DATA LINK 1. Background. The RC-26B is a low density, high demand intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR) platform that can be rapidly deployed to operations in the US and overseas. The RC-26B platform operates in the continental US and deploys to theaters outside the US to conduct counter narco-terrorist missions or directly support the Global War on Terrorism (GWOT). Aircraft mission systems record and downlink full motion video for use by Special Operations Forces, the law enforcement community, host nations, and other government agencies. The RC-26B requires a beyond line of sight (BLOS) data link that permits dissemination of still and full motion imagery to operations centers removed from the affected area. Decision makers require real time imagery and data for situational awareness during GWOT operations, to prepare for initial damage assessment of weapons of mass destruction (WMD) events and natural disasters, and to support critical actions during national special security events. The addition of a BLOS data link reduces the risk posed to ground forces by eliminating the need to locate in the area of interest. The addition of a BLOS data link also improves the RC-26Bs capability to support GWOT operations by reducing the footprint of the photo processing cadre and support equipment. 2. Requirement. MAJCOM (ANG) approved AF Form 1067. 3. Impact If Not Funded. Currently, ground forces must locate within range of a line-of-sight system to intercept video signals, which places them too close to the area of interest and may require too long to deploy. In addition, taskings outside the US require deployment of photo processing cadre to handle digital images. With a beyond line-of-sight data link, there is no need to delay a mission due to lack of ground forces and also reduces the footprint for operations. 4. Units Impacted.

INFORMATION PAPER ON RC-26B COMMUNICATION NAVIGATION SURVEILLANCE / AIR TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT (CNS/ATM) COMPLIANCE 1. Background. The RC-26B is a low density, high demand intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR) platform that can be rapidly deployed to operations in the US and overseas. The RC-26B platform operates in the continental US and deploys to theaters outside the US to conduct counter narco-terrorist missions or directly support the Global War on Terrorism. Aircraft mission systems record and downlink full motion video for use by Special Operations Forces, the law enforcement community, host nations, and other government agencies. Currently the RC-26B is operating outside the US; however, the aircraft avionics do not meet any CNS/ATM requirements for communications and navigation abroad. In addition, dangerous nighttime operations over hostile ground and remote operations in mountainous terrain are much higher risk due to the poor avionics currently installed. As a result, air operations continue to be impacted negatively. Aircraft must utilize other aircraft for escort, or fly lengthy routes to reach certain destinations, and avoid missions at night in the mountains. A complete modernization of the RC-26B avionics suite is required to ensure that the aircraft can operate without restrictions wherever it may be deployed. 2. Requirement. CRD USAF 003-97, GATM Phase I and Phase II (Aug 2004). 3. Impact If Not Funded. The RC-26B will not comply with mandated CNS/ATM operational requirements. Currently the RC-26B has restrictions for operations outside the US and will be unauthorized to operate within the United States within three years. 4. Units Impacted.

INFORMATION PAPER ON SENIOR SCOUT SITUATIONAL AWARENESS 1. Background. SENIOR SCOUT is a low profile, reliable, low-cost tactical capsulated signals intelligence (SIGINT) system capable of being carried on any modified C-130 H/H1/H2. SENIOR SCOUT is a multi-faceted system capable of a multi-discipline, intelligence collection, processing and exploitation. It is closely coordinated and integrated with the overall theater intelligence architecture. Locating and coordinating with forces on the ground and air as well as front end coordination is the responsibility of the SENIOR SCOUT mission supervisor. Currently, situational awareness for the front end and back end is limited to voice interphone. This severely limits entire aircrews ability to plan for threats as well as coordination of flight tracks. With this proposal, SENIOR SCOUT will have an advanced Blue Force Tracking (BFT) capability and will be able to more effectively prioritize collection for force protection. A multifunction display allows the front end to have a real time big picture and free-up radios for rapid threat warning or other priority information. 2. Requirement. Tactical Air Force (TAF)/Electronic Security Command (ESC) Statement of Need (SON) 1-83, 1983; Network Centric Collaborative Targeting (NCCT) requirements as pertains to wideband reachback capability; Operational Requirements Document, Air Force Command and Control Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance Center (AFC2ISRC), 002-88-I/II/III-a, 9 May 1999; USCENTCOM Urgent Need Request, Date-Time Group 052020Z Jan 06; Department of Defense Quadrennial Defense Review, pp 55-58, 2006. 3. Impact If Not Funded. Inability to fund this action possibly jeopardizes C-130 SENIOR SCOUT aircrews where SENIOR SCOUT mission data should be available to all aircrew members to insure safety and force protection. Further, shared awareness between front end and back end crew members permits efficient surveillance and targeting operations for supported forces. 4. Unit Impacted.

SENTINEL

AN/GSQ-272, Air Force Distributed Common Ground System (AF DCGS)

ANG investments in SENTINEL Reachback operations have provided large returns in the Global War on Terrorism (GWOT) and Homeland Defense.
The Air Force Distributed Common Ground System (AF DCGS), officially designated the AN/GSQ272 SENTINEL, is the worldwide, network-centric, intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) weapon system primarily responsible for all processing, exploitation, and dissemination (PED) of intelligence data from airborne, national, and commercial reconnaissance platforms and sensors. Primary ISR sources include the U-2 DRAGONLADY, RQ-4 GLOBAL HAWK, MQ1 PREDATOR, and MQ-9 REAPER. Future sources in SENTINEL Increment 2 operations will include data from the E-8C Joint Surveillance Target Attack Radar System (JSTARS) as well from emerging intelligence collection platforms. A single weapon system enterprise conducting worldwide round-the-clock ISR operations from Reachback garrisons, the SENTINEL includes six ANG Distributed Ground Sites (DGS) in Alabama, Arkansas, Indiana, Kansas, Massachusetts, and Nevada conducting multi-intelligence PED and fusion operations. It also includes two ANG classic associate units conducting operations at active duty Air Force DGS locations in California and Virginia. Further, ANG units in Georgia, Hawaii, Ohio, and Utah provide daily support to SENTINEL operations. Lastly, the 217 Training Squadron, TX ANG, has a secondary mission of providing formal weapon system familiarization training for ANG SENTINEL operators in close cooperation with its active duty Air Force counterpart unit. In the Global War on Terrorism, accurate information and derived precision intelligence from SENTINEL enables commanders to own the battlespace. ANG SENTINEL units, as full partners in Total Force SENTINEL operations, provide the needed continuity and long-term analytical persistence enabling these commanders to make critical and informed combat decisions to fight and win the GWOT.

INFORMATION PAPER ON AN/GSQ-272 SENTINEL (AIR FORCE DISTRIBUTED COMMON GROUND STATION AF DCGS) HOMELAND SECURITY (HLS) / DEFENSE SUPPORT TO CIVIL AUTHORITIES (DSCA) ENCLAVE 1. Background. AF DCGS processes imagery and data collected by U-2, Global Hawk, Predator, and national sensors on a daily basis, providing critical reachback support. The SENTINEL weapon system supports multi-source intelligence operations with units co-located with active duty hosts as well as stand-alone ANG units. Currently, no stand-alone ANG SENTINEL units are capable of processing imagery at the Unclassified or For Official Use Only (FOUO) level to permit quick transmission of raw and analyzed imagery to local authorities for homeland security, disaster response, and rescue operations. Installing these additional HLS/DSCA components at all six ANG squadrons will allow unit personnel to fully participate in distributed operations with local and national organizations and agencies. It would also incorporate NGB GUARDNET for linkage of ANG SENTINEL sites with state Joint Operation Centers (JOCs) for HLS/DSCA operations. Installation of this capability with the ANG will provide a backup processing, exploitation, and dissemination (PED) method to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) conducting HLS and civil support operations. 2.

INFORMATION PAPER ON ANG COMMUNICATIONS MANAGEMENT AND LANDING SITE FOR THE AN/GSQ-272 SENTINEL (AIR FORCE DISTRIBUTED COMMON GROUND SYSTEM AF DCGS) WEAPON SYSTEM 1. Background. SENTINEL is the one-stop shop for Air Force tactical intelligence tasking, processing, exploitation, and dissemination (TPED), and provides the intelligence foundation for the kill chain [find, fix, target, track, engage, assess (F2T2EA)]. The AF DCGS processing, exploitation and dissemination (PED) Operations Center (DPOC) is the single manager of distributed mission communications and processing capabilities. Alternate DPOC and satellite downlink sites provide redundant fallback capability to the current sites. Installing an ANG landing site and DPOC, co-located with the ANG Network Operations Support Center (NOSC), will provide the worldwide SENTINEL enterprise with a reliable, low cost, standby system with experienced network managers to ensure operations can continue in the event the DPOC at Langley AFB becomes non-operational. Standing up an alternate satellite site with an experienced ANG communications unit will provide the SENTINEL a redundant capability for supporting uninterrupted operations. 2. Requirement. Combat Air Forces (CAF) AF DCGS Operational Requirements Document (ORD) dated 21 Feb 2000. 3. Impact If Not Funded. The Air Forces reachback capability will be detrimentally impacted if connectivity is lost during austere weather conditions at Langley AFB, VA. As a result, AF DCGS will not be able to meet the intelligence requirements of theater commanders. 4. Units Impacted.
