## What project 676013 buys

Air Force Special Warfare (AFSPECWAR) Tactical Air Control Party (TACP) Weapon System executes precision strike, integration, and all-domain command and control missions to meet Air Force power projection for the joint force's expanded maneuver. They do this by providing joint force air component commanders with a highly trained force that operates at the tactical edge in highly contested environments and complicates enemy decision-making processes. TACP Airmen plan, request, advise, and control joint fires and air power to meet multinational operations and supported Combatant commander's objectives. The purpose of Tactical Air Control Party - Modernization (TACP-M) programs are to provide TACPs with modernized voice, data, and video communications, including diverse waveforms and software, advanced targeting equipment, and enhanced battlefield awareness/management capabilities across all domains. Improved targeting and data communications capabilities improve kill chain timelines, defeat adversary systems through opening and closing kill webs, extended critical networks to the forward edge, and when required reduce the probability of fratricide or collateral damage. TACP-M programs address frequent TACP combat deployments that sometimes lead users to change equipment procurement requirements to support urgent operational needs and respond to evolving threat environments. TACP-M programs jointly develop and procure software, hardware and test assets with other AFSPECWAR programs to consolidate requirements that are common across the AFSPECWAR enterprise. This teaming arrangement helps standardize equipment, improve efficiency by consolidating acquisition efforts, enabling a common baseline, and reducing overall costs.

**R-3 lines of work:** Product Development; Test and Evaluation; Management Services.
