A. Mission Description and Budget Item Justification
Light Attack Armed Reconnaissance (LAAR) program will acquire an aircraft with modifications to satisfy the requirement for conducting strike, armed reconnaissance
and advanced aircraft training for Irregular Warfare (IW) operations in support of Building Partnership Capacity (BPC) for lesser developed partner nations (PN). This
program provides a CONUS based capability to support irregular warfare efforts that help prepare PN to defend and govern themselves by demonstrating a light
armed and reconnaissance capability that is consistent with their needs for supporting infrastructure, performance, anticipated methods of employment, acquisition and
sustainment costs, and multi-role/multi-mission capability. LAAR is for training U.S. pilots to train PN pilots; not for USAF combat employment.
Funding for LAAR is Budget Activity (BA) 05, System Development and Demonstration (SDD) because it has passed Milestone B approval and is conducting
engineering and manufacturing development tasks aimed at meeting validated requirements prior to full-rate production.

D. Acquisition Strategy
The USAF Light Attack Armed Reconnaissance (LAAR) effort will leverage the Light Air Support (LAS) Indefinite Deliveries/Indefinite Quantities (IDIQ) contract as a
priced option if the technical requirements are validated to mirror this effort. Award follow-on task order for the LAAR aircraft estimated to be December 2011.
E. Performance Metrics
Please refer to the Performance Base Budget Overview Book for information on how Air Force resources are applied and how those resources are contributing to Air
Force performance goals and most importantly, how they contribute to our mission.
