Guarding America - Defending Freedom
ANG Modernization Summary
Resources – AF Budget supplemented by National Guard and Reserve Equipment Appropriation (NGREA)
Bottom-up, field-driven requirements determine funding allocation (Mod and DOERs books)
http://www.ng.mil/ll/default.aspx Interaction with industry to create Off-The-Shelf
Solutions
ANG works with Air Force program offices and vendors during program execution (fly before we buy)
Resource (NGREA) + Requirement (WEPTAC) + Agile Test Capability (AATC) = 80% solution NOW at lower cost

AATC Fully Integrated Test
Work with industry to focus IRAD on documented modernization priorities ANG provides flight testing opportunities
and feedback Systems must be mature enough to procure
Integrated approach - ANG project managers work closely with AF and vendors on procurement
ANG PMs are in place longer; lead projects from creation to fielding
Continuity builds relationships, enhances efficiency and progress

Transformational SuccessImproved SLOS and BLOS Comm
■ AATC reacted rapidly to field SLOS/BLOS for A-10s/ F-16s■ Answered F-16 and A-10 COCOM UON (ARC-210)
First SATCOM ever in a fighter (A-10)■ First embedded SATCOM Antenna (F-16)
■ Now working on 2nd ARC-210 for both A-10 and F-16
■ Completed testing on the F-15C for homeland alert
■ Greatly Increased warfighter capabilities■ Improved wideband secure and over the horizon communication
■ SINCGARS
■ Imagery Transfer; CoT (Cursor on Target) / VMF
■ AATC working on digital audio and 3-D audio
