Recoverable, Reusable Airborne Engagement (RRAE) Phase II

The DoD has a need for airborne high-power microwave (HPM) systems for counter-electronics missions. As opposed to operational military systems, Test and Evaluation (T&E) HPM systems are necessary first to provide vital information for the early phases of new technology acquisitions including support of mission planning, evaluation of Techniques, Tactics, and Procedures (TTPs), and development of Concepts of Employment (CONEMPs) and Concepts of Operations (CONOPs). Phase I of the Recoverable, Reusable Airborne Engagement (RRAE) project consisted of development of an HPM Payload system suitable for use on aerial platforms. Phase II of the project focuses on the preparation and electromagnetic hardening of an air platform and the continued development and maturation of the HPM Payload itself. This brief will provide an overview of Phase II of this project, its current status, and results so far.
