## What project 672835 buys

The Common Very Low Frequency/Low Frequency (VLF/LF) Receiver (CVR) Increment 2 (CVRi2) Program will develop and produce a modular open systems approach (MOSA), Cryptographic Modernization 2.0 (CM-2), New VLF Waveform (WF) compliant advanced VLF/LF receiver for all ground and airborne NC3 platforms. As the USAF VLF receiver integrator, the VLF Enterprise Program Office (VLF EPO) will continue to be responsible for VLF receiver sustainment, to include configuration management of the CVR Increment 1 (CVRi1) materiel solution (KGR-72) and sustainment of legacy receivers, while also providing management support to the B-52 VLF Modernization Program for its procurement and production of the directed VLF receiver (KGR-72). The VLF EPO will provide management and engineering support for VLF receiver requirements across legacy and emerging NC3 platforms. 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; Test and Evaluation; Management Services.

## What is NOT on this page

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.
