# Electronic Warfare Ground Test Resources

**R-2A activity** of project 663321 — Electronic Warfare Ground Test Resources  
**Program element:** 0604256F — Threat Simulator Development  
**Component:** U.S. Air Force · **Budget Activity:** 6  
**Vintage:** President's Budget PB2027  
**Canonical URL:** https://hitchintel.com/programs/0604256F/663321/a0

## Summary

This activity requests $31.6M in FY2027, 100% of project 663321, up 14% on FY2026. The R-2A exhibit describes it across FY2026–FY2027, including what the FY2027 money is planned to buy.

## What the FY2027 request buys

**FY2027 planned work.** - Continue executing the Advanced NAVWAR Open-Air (ANOA) T&E project at AEDC. This project contains mobile Global Positioning System (GPS) jamming capabilities that can be transported to ranges where Hypersonic (HS) testing takes place. - Finish execution of Electronic Combat Range - Dynamic Moving Target Simulator and bring to IOC/FOC. - Continue the Advanced Position Navigation and Timing (PNT) T&E Simulation Environment, all simulators. - Continue execution of two Antenna Pattern Measurement capabilities to support testing at Edwards and Arnold. - Continue execution of the Dynamic Electro-Optical Simulator to advance T&E Simulations at Eglin. - Continue execution of the High Angle RCS Measurment test pylon at Arnold - Continued funding of SETA support to implement planned Air Force test processes and infrastructure for I&M capabilities, support tri-service monitoring and analysis teams established to identify emerging joint investment needs and requirements development and assist in the management and monitoring of I&M program elements and activities.

**FY2026 to FY2027 change.** Funding increased $3.782 million due to hypersonic test investment ramp and restoration of an FY 2026 realignment of funds for the F-16 Emergency Power Unit Overhaul facility.

## Before the request year

**FY2026 plans — current year.** - Start executing the Advanced NAVWAR Open-Air (ANOA) T&E project at AEDC. This project contains mobile Global Positioning System (GPS) jamming capabilities that can be transported to ranges where Hypersonic (HS) testing takes place. - Continue executing Infra-Red Countermeasure-capability Modernization (IRCM-CM), Installed System Test Facility (ISTF) Threat System. EW programs support HS weapon maturity. NRTF can be used in support HS weapon testing, because it measures radar signature of system under test in flight. IRCM-CM is a seeker sensor testing system that will support maturing HS weapons. ISTF Threat System is a test set-up in JPRIMES that can possibly test HS weapons. - Continue execution of the Electronic Combat Range - Dynamic Moving Target Simulator (ECR-DMTS) and the Advanced Position Navigation and Timing (PNT) T&E Simulation Environment, all simulators. These capabilities will support HS testing at Eglin and Arnold. - Start planning two Antenna Pattern Measurement capabilities to support testing at Edwards and Arnold - Start planning of the Dynamic Electro-Optical Simulator at Eglin and High Angle Radar Cross Section (RCS) Measurment pylon at Arnold - Continued funding of SETA support to implement planned Air Force test processes and infrastructure for I&M capabilities, support tri-service monitoring and analysis teams established to identify emerging joint investment needs and requirements development and assist in the management and monitoring of I&M program elements and activities.
