Foreword The Air National Guard is an operational force providing vital combat capability to todays warfighter and a strategic hedge to an uncertain future. In addition, in its role as the air component of the militia, it provides essential capabilities to the state governors. The FY09 Air National Guard Weapons Systems Modernization Requirements book articulates the Air Guards modernization and recapitalization requirements to meet the capability needs of both constituents. This document is truly Warrior Derived, as the inputs were developed and vetted by the men and women on the front line at home and abroad. For fiscal year 2009, the Air National Guard has identified a modernization and recapitalization shortfall of over $8 billion dollars. Meeting the identified shortfalls improves our combat capability and domestic operations responsiveness in Precision Strike, Network Operations, 24-Hour Operations, and Enhanced Survivability.

The National Guard works with the Air Force, other Services, the Department of Defense, allied nations, defense industry experts, and state leadership to find common modernization and sustainment solutions ideally suited to todays resource constrained environment. A recent highlight is our successful A-10 transformation, which resulted in the A-10A+ and culminated in the ANG being the first A-10C Precision Engagement unit deployed to Operation IRAQI FREEDOM and employed in combat immediately upon arrival. Our unique aviation heritage was born of pioneering individuals from the National Guard Signal Corps in 1908. In the early years, the National Guard was

an avenue for aviation enthusiasts to apply innovation and creativity to explore military uses of a new invention. This spirit of innovation continues at the Air National Guard/Air Force Reserve Test Center to guide us as we seek to maintain the combat edge of our force. Today, the courage, commitment, and sacrifice of our Airmen continue to be a force multiplier and critical enabler as our nation prosecutes the Global War on Terrorism. I am truly grateful for the continued support you give us and our nation. Thank you.

CRAIG R. MCKINLEY Lieutenant General, USAF Director, Air National Guard

Close Air SupportForward Air Controller - AirborneCombat Search and Rescue

A-10

The ANG operates 92 A-10 aircraft across five wings, representing one third of the total U.S. combat A-10 forces.

The venerable A-10 continues to perform superbly in Operation ENDURING FREEDOM (OEF) and Operation IRAQI FREEDOM (OIF). This aircraft remains the premier close air support platform of choice. With eleven weapons stations and a targeting pod, the A-10 is able to engage any target with a wide variety of munitions.

The A-10C (Precision Engagement) achieved initial operational capability in September 2007, led by the 175 WG and the 110 FW. These were the first units to convert from the A-10A to the A-10C and deployed to OIF in September 2007, the first combat use of the A-10C. Precision Engagement brings a data link and JDAM capability to theater, along with many other integrated cockpit and airframe improvements.

The 124 FW and 111 FW completed their conversion to the A-10A+ Smart Multifunction Color Display and deployed to OIF from May September 2007. This deployment marked the first combat use of a data link by the A-10. The A-10A+ provides increased capability over the A-10A with a digital moving map, data link, and improved targeting pod functionality. The 188 FW will complete its conversion from F-16s to the A-10A in 2008, and will begin converting to the A-10C by years end.

Other notable improvements include the ARC-210 digital radio which will add a SATCOM capability in the near future. A-10s are now fielding the AAR-47 which provides the pilot with an advanced missile warning system. A low cost Helmet Mounted Cueing System (HMCS) is in the initial testing stages.

A-10 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Unfunded Modernization Priority List Funding Profiles ($ Million)

Notes: 1 3840 Appropriation 2 3010 Appropriation 3 3600 Appropriation 4 3080 Appropriation

Helmet Mounted Cueing System (HMCS) - Provides off-boresight day/night targeting capability and builds pilot situational awareness.

Missile Warning System - Provides warning against man-portable IR threats and other surface-to-air-missiles (SAMs).

A digital radar warning receiver (RWR) will significantly improve all RWR functions such as increased response time and radar threat identification / location.

A second ARC-210 radio will replace the remaining A-10 legacy radios and provide a state-of-the-art communications suite.

Lightweight Airborne Radio System (LARS) Upgrade - Provides increased situational awareness during Combat Search and Rescue (CSAR) Missions.

Engine Upgrade - Required to increase agility at medium / high altitude, provide increased combat munitions loads, and sustain the A-10 for the next 20 years.

Advanced Targeting Pods / 4th Generation Upgrade / Video Downlink - ANG A-10 units need an additional seven targeting pods to complete their allocated pod compliment. In addition, all targeting pods require a 4th generation upgrade to enhance overall targeting pod employment and a video downlink (VDL) capability.

A-10 DAY/NIGHT HELMET MOUNTED CUEING SYSTEM (HMCS) 1. Background. The addition of a day/night helmet mounted cueing system will significantly increase pilot situational awareness (SA), aircraft survivability, and lethality in every mission area. With the capability to cue sensors and weapons off-boresight, using a helmet line of sight (LOS) as the aiming reference, pilots can quickly engage targets of opportunity while still identifying friendly positions via data-link and other means. This enhances time sensitive targeting capabilities and reduces the risk of fratricide and collateral damage. The ability to see these locations outside the head-up display (HUD) allows the pilot to quickly build a three dimensional picture of the battle space and eliminates the need to fly near the target area, greatly reducing threat exposure. Due to extensive night operations, the HMCS must be compatible with current night vision goggles (NVG) and wide field of view (WFOV) NVGs. 2. Requirement. JHMCS-CAF 308-93 MNS, ORD CAF-USN 308-93-II-A Dec 1996. CAF Operational Requirements Document CAF 401-91-I/II/III-D for A/OA-10 Aircraft Multi-Staged Improvement Program (MSIP) Oct 1999. 3. Impact If Not Funded. Time sensitive targeting will be hampered by increased verbal coordination to identify the proper target. Target misidentification, collateral damage and fratricide remain at risk without a HMCS. 4.

1. Background. The A-10 flies many of its missions at altitudes where it is particularly vulnerable to shoulder-launched, infrared (IR) surface-to-air missiles (SAM). The aircraft needs a missile warning system that notifies the pilot when a SAM is launched and automatically dispenses counter-measures. The AN/AAR-47 is a passive, missile-approach warning system that when installed on the A-10 consists of four IR sensor assemblies, a central processing unit and a control indicator. The AAR-47 is capable of detecting missile launches from 360 degrees around the aircraft. 2. Requirement. CAF 315-92-I/II/III Interim Close Air Support/ Interdiction and Covert Infrared Countermeasures (IRCM) Combat Mission Need Statement (Nov 01). 3. Impact if Not Funded.

A-10 DIGITAL RECEIVER, THREAT GEO-LOCATION AND SYSTEM IMPROVEMENT/REPLACEMENT FOR ALR-69 RADAR WARNING

RECEIVER (RWR)

1. Background. The current ALR-69 RWR provides threat radar warning indications to pilots for the A-10 as well as providing threat information to the ALQ-213. The legacy ALR-69 has subassemblies that are no longer supportable, is unable to provide acceptable defensive situational awareness and is incapable of supporting the onboard/off board warfighter requirements. Specific performance shortfalls include inadequate response time, overload conditions, unacceptable identification performance, inadequate threat detection capability, unacceptable threat geo-location and lack of digital information. Upgrading the legacy RWR with a modification that incorporates an advanced digital receiver or replacing it (internal or embedded with an advanced Electronic Attack pod) will address the aforementioned issues while providing accurate passive targeting information. The ability to pass target quality emitter coordinates to any net-centric aircraft is a key component of Air Combat Commands Sensors Forward concept of operations. This capability will enhance the Air Forces ability to safely prosecute assigned missions in a more lethal threat environment. 2. Requirement. A-10 Electronic Warfare Capability Development Document (In coordination). CAF Operational Requirements Document CAF 401-91-I/II/III-D for A/OA-10 Aircraft Multi-Staged Improvement Program (MSIP) Oct 1999. A/OA-10 Mission Area Plan (MAP). 3. Impact if Not Funded. The A-10 will remain at risk to current threats and have little capability against most advanced threat systems resulting in areas of denied access that will significantly impact the ability of their airborne platforms to accomplish missions. 4.

A-10 IMPROVED RADIO COMMUNICATIONS

1. Background. The A-10 requires a multi-band and multi-mode digital radio that includes satellite communications (SATCOM). The SATCOM capability will allow beyond-line-of-sight (BLOS) data and communication connectivity to a variety of command centers and higher headquarters to improve time-sensitive targeting. This feature will greatly aid the A-10 in all mission areas, specifically in the forward air controller-airborne (FAC-A), combat search and rescue (CSAR) role and close air support (CAS) missions. The new radio should be able to interface with other aircraft sub-systems such as the Smart Multi-Function Color Display (SMFCD) and Precision Engagement (PE) architecture. A second ARC-210 radio will complete the A-10 voice communications suite and provide higher performance and reliability than current legacy radios. The second ARC-210 can be secure line of sight (SLOS) if a BLOS radio is already installed. 2. Requirement.

A-10 LIGHTWEIGHT AIRBORNE RADIO SYSTEM (LARS) UPGRADE

1. Background. There are numerous fielded combat search and rescue (CSAR) survival radios that provide a wide spectrum of capability. Survival radios range from the basic PRC-90 to the PRQ-7 Combat Survivor-Evader Locator (CSEL) radio. The newer radios offer more accurate information to CSAR forces attempting to rescue downed survivors. The AN/ARS-6 Lightweight Airborne Radio System (LARS) cockpit radio currently installed in the A-10 can only display range and bearing to the survivor. The AN/ARS V12 is now capable of providing geographic coordinates and text messaging transmitted from the newer survival radios such as CSEL and the Hook-112G. The V12 is smaller than the original AN/ARS-6 radio and will fit into existing space in the cockpit and aircraft bays. The reduced size will permit the AAR-47 Missile Warning System to co-exist with the LARS V12 in the only available aircraft bay. 2. Requirement.

A-10 ENGINE UPGRADE 1. Background. The A-10 has documented thrust deficiencies in its operational environment. In order to meet Combatant Commander tasking at high-density altitude locations, A-10 pilots must reduce fuel loads, restrict take-off times to early morning hours, or refuse tasking that increases gross weights to unsupportable and unsafe limits. In addition, the aircraft does not perform well at medium/high altitudes putting pilots at increased risk for threats and forcing commanders to provide separate A-10 air refueling tracks. For the past ten years the Air National Guard/Air Force Reserve Weapons and Tactics Conference has listed engine upgrades as a high priority for the A-10. 2. Requirement. Concept Development Document (CDD) approved 17 Mar 05 by the Air Force Requirements Operational Capability Council (AFROCC). CDD Version 1.1 approved 21 Apr 06. 3. Impact If Not Funded. A-10 mission success is based on the ability of the airframe to adequately perform the assigned mission. Tasking has migrated from low altitude (the design criteria of the aircraft) to medium/high altitude. Future viability as a persistent, lethal platform is dependent on adequate thrust and agility in a maximum gross weight configuration both at take-off and medium/high altitude. 4.

A-10 ADVANCED TARGETING POD (ATP) and VIDEO DOWNLINK (VDL)

1. Background. Procurement of advanced targeting pods (ATP) has been an ANG top priority for the past several years. In order to achieve the required 2:1 aircraft to ATP ratios and requisite spares, the ANG requires 193 pods. A total of 136 Northrop Grumman LITENING and 27 Lockheed Martin Sniper XR targeting pods have been funded between FY98 and FY07. ATPs feature star-of-the-art technology which allows full weapons exploitation and comprehensive ANG participation in contingency operations. Current pods employ third generation forward looking infrared (FLIR), electro-optical television / charge-coupled devices (CCD), and laser spot search and track (LSS/LST), to offer exceptional stand-off capability and the ability to target J-series weapons. The ANG is 30 pods short of its total requirement. Modernization with fourth generation capability (1K FLIR, 1K CCD) will bring vastly improved day and night target acquisition as well as combat identification at extended ranges in both air-to-ground and air-to-air roles. The ANG requires fourth generation capability on all ATPs. ATP video downlink (VDL) provides streaming pod video to Tactical Air Control Parties (TACPs) and Joint Terminal Attack Controllers (JTACs) equipped with ROVER III terminals. The ANG fielded 24 10-watt LITENING ATP VDL kits and has an additional 66 25-watt LITENING ATP VDL kits on contract to deliver in 2008. Funding is required to upgrade all remaining LITENING and Sniper XR ATPs with VDL. 2. Requirement. CENTAF Urgent Need Request, Nov 04. 3. Impact If Not Funded. If not funded ANG will be unable to effectively fulfill its AEF tasking and have reduced capability relative to target acquisition and identification. 4.

GALAXYC-5

The C-5 Galaxy, with its tremendous payload capability, provides AMC intertheater airlift in support of US national defense. The C-5 flys passenger and outsized or oversized cargo airlift, airland, and special operations missions even under adverse conditions. With the C-5s unique visor door and kneeling capability, the aircraft can both load and offload (roll on/roll off) simultaneously. The aircraft can carry fully equipped, combat-ready military units to any point in the world on short notice, then provide field support required to help sustain the fighting force.

The West Virginia Air National Guards 167 Airlift Wing, which recently gained the Galaxy, flew to Djibouti to deliver two MH-53E Super Stallion helicopters and more than 60 Marines supporting Combined Joint Task Force--Horn of Africa. Stewart ANGB is the only Air National Guard Base in the country with a C-5 flight simulator. The cockpit of Stewarts flight simulator is nearly identical to a C-5s cockpit. Every button, lever and gauge has the exact same function, and is in the same location as it would be on the real aircraft. Equipped with a high-resolution visual system that produces full-color imagery, trainees get to experience the benefits of enhanced graphic displays while flying the C-5 flight simulator. The C-5 flight simulator is supported by hydraulic lifts, which move the simulators cab around while in operation. From takeoff to landing, everything from high turbulence to rough landings can be felt by trainees flying the simulator. It also simulates other situations such as engine stalls, dangerous wind and rain conditions, mechanical failures, and poor runway conditions.

The Air National Guard will operate 50 percent of the USAF C-5A fleet by the end of FY09. Currently the ANG has thirteen C-5s at the 105 AW in Stewart ANGB, New York. The 167 AW, Martinsburg, West Virginia, and 164 AW, Memphis, Tennessee received C-5 aircraft and have begun operational missions.

C-5 AIRCRAFT DEFENSIVE SYSTEM (ADS) 1. Background. Only C-5Bs are equipped with the Aircraft Defensive System (ADS) permitting operation in hostile areas. The ANG operates only C-5As, none of which have a defensive system installed. The C-5Bs ADS consists of an AAR-47A(V)2 Missile Warning System (MWS) and an ALE-47. This system adequately counters shoulder-fired, Man Portable Air Defense Systems (MANPADS) infrared seeking missiles that are widely available and a significant threat during take-offs and landings. Equipping the ANG C-5As with ADS would greatly enhance aircraft survivability, effectively doubling the in-theater fleet size as well as dramatically reducing stress to both AMC and the C-5B fleet. 2. Requirement. MAC Statement of Needs (SON) 07-81, for Defensive Systems on Airlift Aircraft and Airlift Defensive Systems (ADS) Operational Requirements Document (ORD), 207-81-III, approved 2 Aug 1995; Program Management Directive (PMD) 2349(6), 8 Aug 2005.

3. Impact If Not Funded. C-5As will remain unable to fly into Central Command (CENTCOM) airfields reducing the effective fleet size by half and continuing to stress the C-5B fleet. Loss or damage of aircraft and loss of life from MANPADS will adversely impact Air Force missions.

C-5 SURFACE TO AIR FIRE (SAFIRE) LOOKOUT CAPABILITY CHECK 6

1. Background. During Operation IRAQI FREEDOM (OIF) and Operation ENDURING FREEDOM (OEF) 'look-outs' are directed to stand at the troop doors and view out the porthole windows from Combat Entry through the Combat Exit checklists. Loadmasters position themselves at the troop doors to scan the ground and horizon for Surface-To-Air Fire (SAFIRE) launches. Upon detection, Loadmasters immediately call-out evasive maneuver reactions to the pilots and dispense defensive flares as a means of preventing a direct SAFIRE hit. Windows used for observation in C-5s are relatively small with a restricted field of view. Loadmasters experience neck and back strain while striving to maintain their head in position against the window to obtain an aft-angled view out the porthole. Furthermore, the window glass is typically scratched and scuffed to the point that viewing becomes difficult. 2. Requirement. AMC Validated AF Form 1067; C-5 R&PC, AMCFEB070108-04-064. 3. Impact if not funded. When Loadmasters don helmets, flack vests, survival vests, NVGs, and then attempt to look out the troop door porthole during a tactical departure, vision is restricted. Without a clear, wide-angle view from the 3 o'clock to 9 o'clock continuum behind the aircraft, SAFIRE launches could go undetected during critical phases of flight. Undetected SAFIRE launches could result in a projectile striking the aircraft resulting in damage to the aircraft or loss of life. 4.

The C-17 is the Nations core military airlifter and the only aircraft capable of delivering outsize cargo to small, austere airfields. It is also capable of aerial delivery, night vision goggle (NVG) operations, nuclear weapons transportation, and aeromedical evacuation. The C-17 provides the flexibility to support both intertheater and intratheater missions and allows AMC to significantly improve throughput during contingency operations.

The Air National Guard operates eight C-17s at the 172 Airlift Wing in Jackson, Mississippi. A second unit, the154 Wing at Hickam AFB, Hawaii, is the first ANG C-17 PACAF associate unit; with the second associate C-17 wing being established by the 176 Wing, Elmendorf AFB, AK.

A 172 AW C-17 airlifted a critical piece of equipment to assist rescue operations for six the Utah miners, who had been trapped deep inside the Crandall Canyon Coal Mine. Within hours of receiving the request for help from the Utah Governor, an airlift operation was coordinated for the vital piece of underground video equipment for the rescue efforts.

GLOBEMASTER IIIC-17

C-17s currently perform all strategic air evacuation actions from Operations ENDURING FREEDOM and IRAQI FREEDOM to Germany and points west. The Mississippi Air National Guard has returned over 19,000 patients safely to Germany and United Sates from Iraq via the C-17 Aeromedical Evacuation mission. During the same period, the unit transported 10,375 tons of cargo.

C-17 INDIVIDUAL CREW POSITION FLARE DISPENSE SWITCHES

1. Background. Worldwide proliferation of small arms and shoulder-fired infrared (IR) missiles makes mobility aircraft vulnerable to attack during low-altitude operations, particularly during approach and landing. Visual threat detection and reaction have become increasingly important based upon multiple real world missile attacks on air mobility and commercial cargo aircraft. The C-17 fleet has no means to manually dispense flares from the rear scanner position. Manual flare dispense switches are particularly important as C-17s land and operate in increased threat locations. The manual flare dispense switch modification is critical for supporting Operations IRAQI FREEDOM and ENDURING FREEDOM (OIF/OEF). 2. Requirement. Air Force Reserve Command CPC; Air Mobility Command CORT, Combatant Commander Defensive System Requirement. 3. Impact if not funded. An individual crew position flare dispense switch capability provides an increased capability and covers a gap during specific phases of flight to counter and defeat threats. C-17s remain vulnerable to infrared seeking weapons. During combat operations, delayed missile calls by the crewmember that has a visual with the missile may be delayed in alerting the pilots, risking damage to aircraft and potential loss of life. 4.

C-13040 percent of the Air Force C-130 fleet resides in the Air National Guard (ANG).

C-130: In FY 07, ANG C-130s flew over 11,000 hours in support of Operation ENDURING FREEDOM and over 4200 hours in Operation IRAQI FREEDOM. Additionally, ANG C-130s flew over 7700 hours in support of Operations CORNET OAK, JOINT ENTERPRISE, DEEP FREEZE, and JUMP START.

The ANG will be the first to field a new cockpit from C-130 Avionics Modernization Program (AMP), and is the lead for operational test and evaluation. Procurement efforts continue for Advanced laser based Infrared Countermeasure (IRCM) system and APN-241 low-power color radar. Testing is underway for Electronic Propeller Control System (EPCS), and eight-bladed propellers (NP-2000). Finally, the ANG is adding enhanced capability by pursuing situational awareness datalink displays, yoke-mounted chaff/flare dispenser switches, and Virtual Electronic Combat Training System (VECTS).

HC/MC/LC-130/EC-130J: The Air National Guard provides 35 percent of the Air Forces HC/MC-130 Combat Search and Rescue (CSAR) air refueling capability. Air National Guard HC/MC-130s provide Combat Commanders (COCOMs) vital long-range, all weather CSAR capability while deployed during contingency operations.

The HC-130Ns of Alaskas 176 Wing maintain 24-hour alert coverage and provide specialized rescue capability to 11AF through the 11AF Rescue Coordination Center. The California ANGs 129 Rescue Wing fly the only MC-130Ps in the Air National Guard. The HC-130P/Ns of the New York ANGs 106 Rescue Wing provide SAR coverage for the east coast while supporting rescue alert missions for periodic space shuttle launches.

The AN/AAQ-24 LAIRCM continues as a critical aircraft defense modification program for a portion of the ANG HC/MC-130s while full funding is sought for the remainder. Upcoming modernization includes AN-ARS-6v12 LARS for ANG HC/MC-130s.

LC-130: ANG LC-130s perform a unique mission: landing a large cargo aircraft directly on snowfields in remote areas of the Arctic and Antarctic. Keeping this aircraft safe is challenging because of austere operating and harsh environmental conditions. A new mission radar, propulsion modernization, and JATO production are required to continue operations for this difficult mission.

The 193 SOW, PA has completed its conversion from the EC130E to the EC130J aircraft. Three EC130Js are fully mission capable hard-wired Commando Solos, while four wait funding to complete the conversion.

C-130E/H/J SURFACE-TO-AIR FIRE OBSERVER REAR LOOKOUT CAPABILITY

1. Background. During Operation IRAQI FREEDOM (OIF) and Operation ENDURING FREEDOM (OEF) loadmasters stand watch at the porthole windows in the troop doors to scan check six the ground and horizon for Surface-to-Air Fire (SAFIRE) from the Combat Entry through the Combat Exit checklists. Upon detection of SAFIRE, loadmasters immediately advise the pilots to take evasive action, and initiate counter measures as a means of preventing a direct SAFIRE hit. Windows used for observation in C-130s are relatively small with a restricted field of view. Loadmasters experience neck and back strain while striving to maintain their position against the window to obtain an aft-angled view out the porthole. Furthermore, the window glass is typically scratched and scuffed to the point that viewing becomes difficult. 2. Requirement. AMC Validated AF Form 1067-04-064; AMC R&PC Critical Item. 3. Impact if not funded. When loadmasters don helmets, flack vests, survival vests, NVGs, and attempt to look out the troop door porthole during a tactical departure, vision is extremely restricted. Without a clear, wide-angle view from the 3 o'clock to 9 o'clock continuum behind the aircraft, SAFIRE launches could go undetected during critical phases of flight. Undetected SAFIRE launches could result in damage to equipment and potentially loss of the aircraft and injury to the crew. 4.
