

Schedule #1 Priority: field systems soonest
Cost #2: Affordability, obtain price commitments
Performance #3
– Phase I: GPS/INS-like accuracy (fixed/stationary)
– Phase II: Seeker/ATR-like accuracy
(mobile/relocatable)
2 KPPs:
– Loadout
– 4 weapons per 1760 aircraft station is threshold
– Interoperability
– Common carriage system & interface across aircraft
– Compatible with C4ISR infrastructure

Dist A: UNCLASSIFIED, Cleared for unlimited Public Release AAC/PA 01-186
Requirements (con’t)

Evolutionary approach to fielding systems
– Phase I: Effective in GPS Jammed Environment
– Phase II: Target Recognition for Autonomous
Engagement in Limited Search Area

ORD Will Remain DRAFT until Milestone B decision
– KPPs are only non-tradables
– CAIV : performance trades between MS A and MS B
– HQ ACC finalize performance “thresholds” after
seeing cost & schedule impacts to program

Carriage System Requirements

Commonality across all threshold and objective
aircraft
– Standard test equipment, training, containers, loading
procedures, etc.
– Compatibility with B-2 Smart BRA

MIL-STD-1760 interface
– Minimize aircraft OFP impact, single update
– Must support individual weapon targeting, fuze
programming, weapon release initialization, weapon
status reporting and weapon software reprogramming

Individual and ripple release against one or more targets
– No single use devices for weapon ejection system
