Proposal Statement
Expedite commercial off the shelf solutions to modernize KC-135 fleet with hybrid SATCOM (CANS) and Tanker Intelligent Gateway (TIG); thus transforming the tanker fleet into airborne command and control nodes.
Recommendation Information
Under the Department of Air Force program called "Commercial Access to NIPR & SIPR," or "CANS," the KC-135 could gain beyond line of sight voice and data connectivity. Together with existing RTIC upgrades and the Tanker Intelligent Gateway (TIG), the KC-135 becomes an airborne command and control node capable of augmenting existing Air Battle Management platforms. This capability has been identified as critical as DoD reoptimizes for Great Power Competition.
