Interoperability is achieved through the use of the actical ontrol ystem () software in the ground control station, and through the use of the actical ommon ata ink (). he data from the Q-8 will be provided through standard d o ommand, ontrol, ommunications, omputers and Intelligence urveillance, and econnaissance system architectures t and protocols. he Q-8 system is comprised of air vehicles, electro-optical/infra-red/laser designator-range finder payloads, round ontrol tations () (with and integrated for interoperability), and a ommon utomatic ecovery ystem for automatic take-off and landings, and associated spares and support equipment. he Q-8 system will upport urface Warfare, ine ountermeasures Warfare, and nti-ubmarine Warfare mission modules while operating onboard ittoral ombat hip (). limited number of land-based ground control stations supplement the system to support shore based operations, such as predeployment or acceptance functional check flights. hese land based ground control stations will also support depot level maintenance/post-maintenance activities. ission training devices will be procured and integrated into the land-based ground control stations for predeployment and proficiency training. Q-8 will perform land-based operations in support of the I ask orce. dditional material will be procured for this effort. adar payloads are included in the aircraft cost starting in he rmy which originally selected the Q-8 as their lass I for the uture ombat ystems has cancelled the program. unding to modify 8 rmy airframes was provided in an 10 ongressional upplemental, and is reflected in the revised 10 quantity. he Q-8 program received ilestone approval in ay 2007, authorizing ow ate Initial roduction. he Q-8 will procure I aircraft quantity above 10%. asis for 2012 udget equest: 12 fully funds twelve Q-8 air vehicles, training equipment, and associated support. he epartment will use the Q-8 with an endurance upgrade to fill an interim pecial perating orces () capability for a seabased. unding for this interim capability starts in 12 and supports fielded operations beginning in 14 until the edium ange aritime can be developed and fielded to meet the full capablitiy required by. he Q-8 aircraft quantity supports missions, issions, and other expeditionary demands. rocurement of seven hip based are programmed in 2012 to align with ission odules and to oufit five ships to support the missions. his budget request also supports a directed 18 month apid eployment apability () for the weaponization of the Q-8 (irescout). fforts include air vehicle modifications and spares procurement for weapon system integration Weapon eplaceable ssemblies (Ws). asis for 2012 equest: rocurement of ack up Kit spares to support shipboard missions. urrent ack ups are using spares planned for testing and initial deployments. -1 Item o. 26 age 1 of 5 orm 2454, 86 I lassification: II
