1 PE NUMBER: 11122F PE TITLE: AIR LAUNCHED CRUISE Exhibit R-2, RDT&E Budget Item Justification Cost ($ in Millions) 4797 Total Program Element (PE) Cost Flight Testing & Navigation 23 Actual Cost to Complete Total A. Mission Description and Budget Item Justification The AGM-86B, Air Launched Cruise Missile (ALCM), is a subsonic, air-to-surface strategic nuclear missile, operational since Armed with a W-8 warhead, it is designed to evade air and ground-based defenses in order to strike targets at any location within any enemy's territory. The ALCM is designed for B-52H internal and external carriage. A Service Life Extension Plan (SLEP) was developed to meet an AF Long Range Plan requirement to extend ALCM Service Life to 3. The results of Service Life Extension Program (SLEP) studies identified system components that cannot be sustained beyond the standard service life. The current system is experiencing obsolescence of parts/components. Missile components and support equipment are becoming non-supportable. Service Life Extension of this critical weapon is essential to meet Air Combat Command (ACC) and United States Strategic Command (USSTRATCOM) commitments (also known as OPLAN 844). Initial SLEP assessment required the development and acquisition of new Conventional Air Launched Cruise Missile (CALCM)/ALCM Test Instrumentation Kit (CATIK) flight test payload doors, replacement of the current navigation system, and replacement of Operational Test & Evaluation (OT&E) hardware and software. CATIK commenced in based on the AF decision to maintain this weapon system beyond its current design life. Previous payload doors were purchased to support the original service life only. CATIK development efforts are driven by depleting test assets, parts obsolescence, Range Command Council 319 (RCC-319) safety requirements and re-certification of the Flight Termination System. Five CATIK RDT&E test articles will be developed to support Developmental Test & Evaluation (DT&E) flight tests. The five test articles will be used to conduct one ALCM Operational Test Launch, one ALCM Joint Test Assembly (JTA) integration test to ensure compatibility with the warhead package, one CALCM Operational Test Launch, one Captive Carry and a backup test asset. CATIK payload doors, containing range transponder and battery, are required to be replaced due to depleting test assets to continue flight tests beyond 6. The new CATIK payload doors will provide an inventory of test assets for continued flight testing through 16, based on current flight test requirements. W-8 LEP (current interface) - CATIK will be designed to a JTA-R1. If the W-8 LEP program changes interface, CATIK will require modification and additional funding/schedule. The CATIK payload door is a critical component for determining Weapon System Reliability (WSR) and for supporting the W-8 Life Extension Program (LEP) (current interface). Operational Test & Evaluation (OT&E) hardware and software replacement will occur concurrently with the CATIK development effort. 4 EMD efforts consist of qualification tests of the CATIK doors. Individual component qualification will have already been completed at the subvendors. 5 EMD R-1 Shopping List - Item No of Exhibit R-2 (PE 11122F)

2 Exhibit R-2, RDT&E Budget Item Justification efforts is flight tests finishing up with the flight test report 6. Contract period of performance ends April 6. INE - The original ALCM Inertial Navigation Element (INE) service life design expired in The AF took action to study the INE components and determine which components were expected to become increasingly difficult to maintain or support. The completed studies indicate the ALCM INE failure rate has remained constant over the past 1 yrs and the INE is sustainable to 23 with software modifications and Sub-Terminal Map Upgrades, hardware cannibalization and depot support/test equipment replacement. The Sub-Terminal map software upgrade will help maintain the credibility of the ALCM threat for the remainder of its service life. Cruise Missile Functional Ground Testing (FGT) is required to provide the capability to non-destructively accomplish functional flight simulation of a full-up missile flight profile on the ground to obtain additional reliability data. This capability will provide critical reliability data without the costs of flight test missions and will also retain the missiles in the inventory. This effort will develop the software and hardware for an existing test facility for accomplishment of the ground tests. The Big Crow Alternative development effort will produce a telemetry relay system mounted in B-52H wings. The Big Crow aircraft are used for Air Force flight testing and ensure continued Air Force conventional and nuclear cruise missile flight test capability at all times. Currently, two Big Crow aircraft provide a telemetry gathering capability for Army, Navy and Air Force requirements. The Big Crow aircraft perform a classified wartime mission, which takes precedence over Air Force cruise missile flight tests. This effort will design, develop, produce and test two aircraft systems (2 Pylons each) worth of equipment to ensure Air Force cruise missile flight testing/telemetry gathering capability when Big Crow is unavailable. The Pylons produced in the development effort will remain operational at the conclusion of the test effort. The W-8 LEP replaces warhead components to extend its service life. The National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) is responsible for most of the refurbishment costs associated with the W-8 warhead. The Air Force is responsible for funding ALCM W-8 integration. Integration includes evaluation of interface control changes as part of the Initial Concept Design (ICD), missile testing, and logistics requirements necessary to support a First Production Unit (FPU) delivery of 28. These programs are in Budget Activity 7, Operational System Development, due to efforts supporting a fielded, post Milestone III operational weapon system. B.
