Proposal Statement
Change #4 A to read: "Active Electronically Scanned Array (AESA) Radar to provide critical mapping capabilities in all weather
conditions and to effectively execute doctrinally tasked missions including Homeland Defense."
conditions and to effectively execute doctrinally tasked missions including Homeland Defense."
Recommendation Information
F-16 ACTIVE ELECTRONICALLY SCANNED ARRAY (AESA) RADAR
1. Background. Air National Guard (ANG) F-16 Block 25/30/32/40/42/50/52 aircraft require Active Electronically Scanned Array (AESA) radars to effectively execute doctrinally tasked mission sets including Homeland Defense. AESA radars provide the capability to detect and track multiple airborne Targets of Interest (TOI) in dense civilian air traffic environments prevalent around major population centers, a critical capability for Aerospace Control Alert (ACA). Simultaneously, AESA radars will drastically improve the capability of ANG F-16’s to succeed in a diverse compliment of mission sets, including Close Air Support, Surface Attack and Defensive Counter-Air. AESA radars can perform detection, tracking, communication, and jamming functions in multiple directions simultaneously. Additionally, AESA radars eliminate several components associated with mechanical radars, thus dramatically improving reliability and maintainability costs.
2. Source of Need. 1AF JUON 2015, TAF 303-76-I/II/III-A SORD for the F-16C/D, CAF ORD 303-76-I/II/III-D F-16C/D MSIP ORD (14 Aug 00); ARC 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014 WEPTAC Critical Requirement.
3. Impact If Not Funded. As the adversary technologies and capabilities mature, the existing capabilities on U.S. fighters are becoming less effective against asymmetric threats and enemy fighters. The survivability and lethality of the F-16, which makes up more than half of the AF’s fighter aircraft inventory, will diminish without the inherent capability and reliability of an AESA radar.
4. Units Impacted.
113 WG JB Andrews, MD 140 WG Buckley AFB, CO 162 FW Tucson IAP, AZ
114 FW Sioux Falls RAP, SD 148 FW Duluth IAP, MN 169 FW McEntire JNGB, SC
115 FW Truax Fld, WI 149 FW Kelly Fld, TX 177 FW Atlantic City IAP, NJ
138 FW Tulsa, OK 158 FW Burlington IAP, VT 180 FW Toledo Express AP, OH
187 FW Montgomery RAP, AL
5. Recommendation:
It is the recommendation of NGAUS and the National Guard Bureau, the Department of Defense to the Congress of the United States to authorize and appropriate funding to:
• Request funding be added to the President’s FY2017 budget request to procure AESA radars for ANG F-16 aircraft
