## 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

**R-3 lines of work:** Product Development; Support; Management Services.

> Activities carry the prior, current and budget year only — no five-year plan. In the request year they partition this project exactly; in earlier years they can under-cover it.

### Airspace Compliance (M-Code)

Airspace Compliance plans to continue B-52/R-EGI software development, with delivery of B-52/R-EGI software load (May 2027); program to award B-52 M-Code EMD contract and initiate EMD activities (May 2027)

Congressional marks, the R-2 mission description and acquisition strategy, the industry vs government split of the whole request, and related program elements are recorded at **program-element** grain — an NDAA mark lands on a PE, never on a project.
