  4. Air-to-Air Missile Wing Mission • Cradle-to-Grave Management Of USAF, Navy, Army, and Allied Forces' Highest Priority Counterair Systems • Advanced Medium Range Air-to-Air Missile • Follow-on Sidewinder • HARM Targeting System • Full-scale and Subscale Aerial Targets • Miniature Air Launched Decoy • Special Programs Standup Charts - 29 Sep 2003 (77847) 4

  5. VDOPS AAC/YAAAerial Target Squadron Portfolio TCS • Air Superiority Target (AST) • BQM-167A (AFSAT) • Vector Doppler Scorer (VDOPS) • Target Control Systems (TCS) • QF-4 Full-Scale Aerial Target (FSAT) BQM-167A AST QF-4

  6. Aerial TargetsInterest Areas • Current/Projected Full-Scale Aerial Target Inventory • Long-term Viability of F-4s…Need For Air Superiority Target • Projected Subscale Inventory • Viability of Target Control • Scoring…Frequencies For Sensors And Transponders

  9. Target ControlInfrastructure Limitations • Target Control • Aging Infrastructure • Not GPS-based • Operating Frequency Concerns • Telemetry • Higher Data Rates And Smaller Size Required In Future • Telemetry Instrumentation Kit For Use On Multiple Platforms • Bandwidth • Less Frequencies Available For DoD Creates Need For Spectrally Efficient Devices And Systems • Scoring • Better Accuracy And Reliability At Lower Cost • GPS-based • Encryption • Devices Required With Higher Throughput And Shorter Delay

  10. Target ScoringVDOPS • Transmit Receive Interface Module (TRIM) • Enhanced Antenna Array For QF-4 • Standard Beginning On Lot 9 Deliveries • Frequency Migration • Limited Space On S-band • Studying Migration Of Scoring Frequency To C-band • Small Results (Allows For One Additional Frequency Allocation) • Leaves TM Frequency At S-Band To Compete With Missile TMs • Bandwidth Must Be Managed Better

  11. Challenges Of Training/Testing • Training Units Do Not Have Instrumented Aircraft • Precludes Collecting Weapon/Aircraft Integration Data • Developmental Testing • Requires Precise Runs Which Are Contrary To The Operational Training Requirements Of Flexibility • Tight Schedule To Meet Critical Decision Milestones • Cannot Afford To Line Up With Training Deployments • Ever Expanding Footprint • How Much Testing Is Required? • Modeling And Simulation

  12. Interoperability/Portability • Interoperability • Competition For Range Space/Availability • Army, Navy, and Air Force • Cost Savings • Perception Of Inefficiency • Portability • Limit To Flexibility • Certain Tests Can Be Conducted Only At Specified Locations

  13. Way Ahead • Joint Planning • Training And Testing • Eliminate Competition For Assets And Range Capability • Commonality Among Services • Targets • Infrastructure • Creates A Flexible Testing/Training Environment • Possible Cost Savings In Danger Of Making Ourselves Irrelevant

  14. Summary • Number Of Challenges • Interoperability Is Essential For Future Success • Focus To Support Our Warfighters
