MISSION CRITICAL NEED - Whether through the program of record or separate initiatives, modernization upgrades for the EW suite require the following capabilities: proactive and directed offensive electronic attack, electronic warfare situational awareness improvements, and self-protection capabilities that include radar cross section (RCS) reduction, infrared countermeasures, and defensive jamming from an expendable RF Decoy
DEPLOYMENTJUSTIFICATION- The USAF and ANG have identified and validated defensive shortfalls in the integrated EW system against radar guided missiles. This requirement is necessary in the deployed locations OCONUS
FUNDING JUSTIFICATION - Accordingly, EW sustainment funding must be reinstated, and legacy obsolescence addressed with interim capabilities for ANG aircraft.
