## What project 676030 buys

Global Aircrew Strategic Network Terminal Increment 2 (Inc 2) replaces aging legacy strategic communications equipment at bomber and tanker Wing Command Posts (WCPs), Nuclear Task Forces, Munitions Support Squadrons (MUNSS), and Mobile Support Teams (MSTs). Global ASNT Inc 2 is a ground-based system that will provide survivable, secure communication paths to disseminate Emergency Action Messages (EAMs) to bomber and tanker aircrews. Global ASNT Inc 2 is being fielded in 2 separate capability incremental blocks; both blocks are High-Altitude Electro-Magnetic Pulse (HEMP) and Radiation Hazard (RADHAZ) protected. Global ASNT Inc 2 Block 1 delivers a replacement Aircrew Alerting System (AAS) consisting of Ultra High Frequency (UHF) personal and general alerting equipment replacing Electromagnetic Pulse Hardened Dispersal Communication (EHDC) and Aircrew Alerting Communications Electromagnetic Pulse (AACE) systems. Global ASNT Inc 2 Block 2 provides High Frequency (HF) Beyond Line of Sight (BLOS) capabilities for fixed ground and transportable units to communicate with bomber and tanker aircraft, and emerging NC3 platforms out of range of Ultra High Frequency (UHF) Line of Sight (LOS). Air Force Global Strike Command approved a requirements document in December 2023 for Global ASNT Inc 2 Block 2. This program element may include necessary revised Security Classification Guide (SCG) implementation activities. 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.

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.
