Mission Description and Budget Item Justification: The Avionics Component Improvement Program (AvCIP) is a Joint Services initiative to combat parts obsolescence, improve reliability, safety and accelerate technology infusion into avionics programs. FY 2008 Accomplishments/Planned Program: FY 2009 FY 2010 Determine critical avionics (communications, navigation, surveillance, sensors, combat identification, mission planning, and interoperability) deficiencies, prioritize and conduct initial technology improvements effort. 637 581 Identify software techniques and opportunities associated with open system architectures targeted to reduce initial and recurring avionics integration costs. 300 335 52 75 Continue Program Management Support Small Business Innovative Research/Small Business Technology Transfer (SBIR/STTR) Reduction Total 28 989 1019 B. Other Program Funding Summary Not applicable for this item. C. Acquisition Strategy The Acquisition Strategy is to identify emerging avionics performance and obsolescence problems. AvCIP is an initiative that enables streamlined management of present-day common avionics/electronics critical readiness degraders, technology insertion opportunities and cost reduction solutions. The program will annually compete candidate solutions according to criticality of operational contribution, technical risk, return on investment, commonality and breadth of application across multiple platforms. 0702239A (C92) AVIONICS COMPONENT ANALYSIS Item No. 173 Page 3 of 3 434 Exhibit R-2a Budget Item Justification
