![]() “With adversaries understanding the importance of HVAA to mission success, as well as their vulnerabilities, HVAA may become a likely target for emerging longer-range advanced threats,” the notice states. This is also becoming more of an issue for high-value airborne assets, or HVAA, which tend to fly high enough to stay out of the battlefield while giving support to troops on the ground. The Air Force’s countermeasures for many of these defense methods have been “developed for a single spectrum threat” and aren’t calibrated to deal with all of them at the same time. aircraft will be expected to counter IADS equipped with missiles guided by sensors that operate with various levels of coordination between the and regimes for detection, navigation and/or tracking processes,” the notice states. Those capabilities are only growing more advanced, with Air Force officials expecting adversaries to begin deploying “multi-spectrum technology” designed to take down U.S. aircraft are increasingly required to operate in hostile environments heavily defended by integrated air-defense systems,” or IADS. However, “adversaries have closed the gap,” the documents state. military has held aerial dominance for many years. The notice-which announces a forthcoming $150 million broad agency announcement contract expected to drop in January-notes the U.S. air dominance with plans for nine sub-projects and tasks, all named after famous strange beasts.Īs the Air Force grapples with peer and near-peer adversaries getting more advanced detection and anti-aircraft technologies, the service wants to use cognitive electronic warfare, artificial intelligence and work through advanced systems integration “to generate and/or maintain a competitive advantage due to the sheer volume of data, speed of activity, and complexity of threat capabilities,” according to a notice of contract action posted Thursday to SAM.gov. ![]() ![]() Come January, the Air Force will launch Project Kaiju, a giant new effort to ensure the future of U.S.
