Special Project Office (SPO) Project 1

Background

  • Provide on-site program management support to SPOs at Wright-Patterson AFB
     
  • The EC-130H aircraft is the world’s most capable offensive counterinformation (OCI) system, specializing in command and control warfare against adversary IADS, battle management, and other communications and data systems

Approach & Capabilities

  • Upgrade evolutionary acquisition strategy fields squadronwide updates for target system currency
     
  • Maximum use of open-architecture/COTS subsystems software adapted for OCI mission keeps technical edge and preserves mission and system flexibility
     
  • The SPO streamlined acquisition approach fields updated systems sooner to match dynamic nature of communications system targets’ technical evolution
     
  • Dedicated quick-reaction interfaces for immediate crisis support

Technology

  • High-speed, programmable narrowband digital receivers
     
  • Programmable, high-power, multimode RF amplifiers
     
  • High-speed embedded adapted COTS signal processors
     
  • FDDI LAN architecture/Custom OS
