## What project 622002 buys

This project focuses on electronics and optoelectronics technologies that generate, control, receive, and process electromagnetic spectrum for aerospace sensor and electronic warfare applications. The enabling technologies developed under this project will be used for intelligence, surveillance, reconnaissance, electromagnetic warfare, battlespace access, and precision engagement capabilities. The technologies developed include exploratory electronic and optoelectronic devices, components, microsystems, and subsystems. This project also assesses designs, develops, fabricates, and demonstrates the associated technologies for integrating combinations of these component technologies. The project develops and demonstrates significantly smaller size, lower weight, lower cost, lower power dissipation, higher reliability, trustworthiness, and improved performance components. The device and subsystem technology developments under this project are military unique; they are based on Department of the Air Force and other Department of War weapon systems requirements in the areas of radar, communications, electromagnetic warfare, positioning, navigation, timing, and smart weapons.

## 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.
