What project 676039 buys

The B-52 Airspace Compliance Program ensures the B-52 meets regulatory Airspace Compliance, DoW and FAA mandates by integrated required hardware, software and firmware. Integrates a new Global Positioning System that provides advanced encryption to prevent spoofing and increases jamming protection for the fleet. This also includes the new Global Positioning System (GPS) Military Code (M-Code) signal design that provides a robust signal for the B-52 Fleet, enhancing Anti-Jam/Anti-Spoof capabilities and improving security to the GPS data message as military applications, technology, and mission requirements evolve. The scope of work may include, but not limited to studies and analyses, and/or any additional analyses or documentation necessary to establish a Programs of Record (POR) the meet mandated functions. Funds may also be used to address emerging and short-notice Diminishing Manufacturing and Material Shortages (DMSMS) for both aircraft and associated training systems, Development Testing (DT)/Operational Testing (OT), safety of flight issues, and associated components of the B-52 baseline configurations. DMSMS efforts may include removal of end-of-life/obsolete software and hardware due to the future emergence of Modular Open Systems Approach (MOSA) implementation. This program element included all necessary expenses required to manage, execute, and deliver weapon system capability. The use of such program funds would be in addition to the civilian pay expenses budgeted in program elements 0605829F, 0605831F, 0605833F, and 0605898F

1 accomplishment / planned program

The R-2A exhibit — the only level of the budget that describes work that has not happened yet. Activities carry the prior, current and budget year only, no five-year plan. Each describes FY2027 work in enough detail to have its own page; the rest are shown here in full. Coverage is partial across the corpus, so count activities, never total them.
