  1. Doing Business With the Air National Guard Col Paul Mancini Chief, Operational Requirements NGB/A5 October 2011

  2. Resources – AF Budget supplemented by National Guard and Reserve Equipment Appropriation (NGREA) Bottom-up, field-driven requirements determine funding allocation (Mod and DOERs books) http://www.ng.mil/ll/default.aspx Interaction with industry to create Off-The-Shelf Solutions ANG works with Air Force program offices and vendors during program execution (fly before we buy) ANG Modernization Summary Resource (NGREA) + Requirement (WEPTAC) + Agile Test Capability (AATC) = 80% solution NOW at lower cost 17

  3. FY12 – 13 Top Level Priorities • Air Superiority/Global Precision Attack • Rapid target acquisition: HMIT • SA enhancements: HMIT, Smart Displays • ACA (F-15 displays, TGP) • Targeting Pod upgrades • Legacy Electronic Combat System upgrades, ALQ-213 • Rapid Global Mobility • Data Link: Real Time Info in the Cockpit (RTIC) • Loadmaster Safety (crashworthy seats, wireless intercom) • LC-130 Propulsion • Personnel Recovery • HH-60, HC-130 Comm and data link upgrades • GA data link • A-10 LARS (V)12 18

  4. FY12 – 13 Top Level Priorities • Special Operations • Lightweight, man portable data link • Simulation and DMO • KC-135 boom trainer, desktop trainers • Global Integrated ISR, Space/Cyberspace Superiority • Cyber training range • Command and Control • Mobile C2 for Domestic Response • Agile Combat Support • Leak detectors • Domestic Operations (DOMOPS) equipment • HAZMAT response • Route Clearance (light and heavy) • Urban Search and Rescue 19

  5. AATC Fully Integrated Test • Work with industry to focus IRAD on documented modernization priorities • ANG provides flight testing opportunities and feedback • Systems must be mature enough to procure • Integrated approach - ANG project managers work closely with AF and vendors on procurement • ANG PMs are in place longer; lead projects from creation to fielding • Continuity builds relationships, enhances efficiency and progress 20

  6. AATC reacted rapidly to field SLOS/BLOS for A-10s/ F-16s Answered F-16 and A-10 COCOM UON (ARC-210) First SATCOM ever in a fighter (A-10) First embedded SATCOM Antenna (F-16) Now working on 2nd ARC-210 for both A-10 and F-16 Completed testing on the F-15C for homeland alert Greatly Increased warfighter capabilities Improved wideband secure and over the horizon communication SINCGARS Imagery Transfer; CoT (Cursor on Target) / VMF AATC working on digital audio and 3-D audio Transformational SuccessImproved SLOS and BLOS Comm 21

  7. Multi-Aircraft Programs • Smart Displays for F-16, HH-160, A-10(?) • Federated software systems – apart from expensive OFP • High res video, Moving Map, Tactical Awareness Displays • Electronic Warfare • Upgraded ALQ-213 • Improved Radar Warning • 1st Missile Warning System on any USAF fighter: A-10 (AAR-47) • Responsible for all IRCM flare countermeasure “cocktail” updates • Improved ECM jamming Pod development using JSF technology 22

  8. Modernization Examples • Tanker, Transport, Bomber • NP2000 Propeller, C-130 EPCS • KC-135 LAIRCM Pod • Virtual Electronic Combat Training • Battlefield Airmen • Modular Tactical System • Dismounted SADL • Handheld Laser Marker 23

  9. Logistics Modernization • C-130 EPCS • HH-60 Blade De-Ice Test Set • HH-60 Blade Angle Measurement Set • F-16 Phase MX Stand • Controlled Humidity Evaluation, Corrosion Control • Aeroflex 3515A/ARC-210 Tester • Electric TUG, Alternative Tow Vehicle • Fighter Aircraft Scales • Leak Detection and Repair • Wire Test and Repair • Smart Stem • C-130 MX stands • E-8 replacement air conditioners • Multiple aircraft Armament Testers • Wireless Intercom • Aircraft Sustainment Test- replacement components for diminishing legacy components • F-16 ESSBA (altimeter) • F-16 MLPRF (ribbon backplane assembly) • F-16 HUD PDU • F-16 AIFF antenna cover 24

  10. Contact NGB/A5 if you have items that might answer needs in the Modernization or DOERS books Mobility and Fighter Aircraft: Col Paul Mancini paul.mancini@ang.af.mil DOMOPS, space/cyber/C2/CSAR/battlefield airmen: Lt Col Drew Plat andrew.platt@ang.af.mil ANG Modernization Summary 80% Solutions ~ 20% of the cost it doesn’t count until they’re flying and sustaining it in the field 25
