This pamphlet identifies the current and near term aircraft survivability equipment (ASE) electronic countermeasures and avionics systems managed by the Project Manager's Office (PMO) for Aviation Electronic Combat (AEC). The growing importance of electronic countermeasures, communications, navigation, command and control, and aircraft design has become paramount in the minds of the Army Aviation Community. The lethality of threat weapons systems found on the battlefield dictates that survivability be an essential characteristic of all combat materiel.

ASE PMO于1971年6月在密苏里州圣路易斯的美国陆军航空系统司令部（AVSCOM）成立。ASE项目经理（PM）直接向指挥将军AVSCOM报告。1987年，ASE PM被分配给并直接向Aviation计划执行官（PEO，AVReportsReports）报告。

The Aviation Electronics Management Office (AEMO) was established in October 1987 to fulfill the need for a centralized office to manage the Army's avionics equipment. The AEMO was formed in St. Louis as part of AVSCOM. In November 1991, the Avionics PMO was established to provide a higher level of management for Army avionics.

AEC PMO成立于1992年3月，合并了ASE PMO和Avionics PMO。AEC PMO于1997年8月与PEO，AV和美国陆军航空和导弹司令部（AMCOM）移居Redstone Arsenal。

The PEO, AV provides the Army and other customers with technologically superior, affordable aviation, and combat support systems that are capable, safe, survivable and sustainable. The PEO, AV primarily supports the Continental United States based force, special operations, contingency and forward presence missions.

AEC PM负责ASE和航空电子航空的开发，获取和生命周期管理。AEC PM的使命是不断推进AEC最先进的方法。在技​​术上使美国陆军领先于世界其他地区；提供保护并提高战斗效力；并为现场和开发陆军旋转飞机和固定机翼飞机提供最新的航空电子技术。其他AEC计划将旨在响应新兴的航空威胁以及改变设备要求。

The AEC PM seeks opportunities to expand partner associations with other services within the Department of Defense (DoD), allied nations and commercial entities whenever a cooperative involvement attests that the interests of Army aviation are better served by such joint efforts.

Encouraging the practical participation of partners inside and outside DoD for mutual developments and procurements will not only reduce programmatic risks, but may also augment the funding base for high cost ventures. The AEC PM is the Army's principal member on the Joint Technical Coordinating Group for Aircraft Survivability and Avionics, and is responsible for ensuring that the tri-service ASE and avionics technology base is considered in the execution of Army programs.

In accordance with a directive from the Chief of Staff of the Army, PM AEC has developed and finalized specific funding requirements for nine core AEC programs. These programs are:

1. The Doppler Embedded Global Positioning System (GPS) (AN/ASN-128B and AN/ASN-128C)

2. High Frequency Nap-of-the-Earth Communications (AN/ARC-220)

3.高级航空电子技术插入（AATI）计划

4. Improved Data Modem (IDM)

5. Army Aviation Command and Control System (A2C2S)

6. Aviation Mission Planning System (AMPS)

7.套件集成射频Countermeasures (AN/ALQ-211)

8. Aircraft Survivability Equipment Trainer (ASET IV)

9. Laser Detecting Set (AN/AVR-2A)

The survival of an aircraft operating in a hostile environment depends upon many diverse factors such as: The design of the aircraft; skill and experience of the crew; armament carried; on-board countermeasures and communications equipment; off-board supporting systems; and tactics employed. The cost of modern aircraft weapon systems, coupled with the requirement that the system be effective, makes it imperative to consider the aircraft's survivability throughout the life cycle of the system.

Survivability is a state of mind which musters together every ounce of cunning and resourcefulness possible. These attributes have been used throughout history with varying degrees of effectiveness. There was a time when the weapons' threat had a large degree of human error involved in its accuracy, and it could, therefore, be defeated with primitive countermeasures. However, the aviator today operates in a highly lethal environment of extremely mobile combined air and ground threats. The aviator must be provided with the latest countermeasures, communications and survival techniques available, not only to survive, but to stay and fight. The cunning and resourcefulness have not gone by the wayside, but have simply taken on new dimensions which involve greater man/machine interfaces.

PM AEC专注于提供飞行员和军队“提高战斗效力”的持久力。AEC不仅会减少损耗，而且还将帮助机组人员完成其主要任务。每个任务经常涉及各种飞机

作为一个团队进行各种威胁。该集成团队的有效性将在很大程度上取决于每种飞机类型的兼容和互补的ASE和航空电子套件。目前，ASE和航空设备的部署方面的重大推动力是为所有飞机类型的ASE和航空电子套件以优先单元的形式进行完整。

当今的陆军试图对未来的系统进行范围，以利用数字信息交换中的最新技术进步。这个称为陆军数字化的概念支持“信息战”的行为。从本质上讲，陆军数字化将为友好的指挥官及其下级部队提供对战场局势的共同和相关的观点，从而促进了快速有效的决策以及对战场活动的同步。

陆军航空是数字化的领导者。作为各种数字ASE和航空设备的物资开发人员，PM AEC在未来航空平台的数字化中起着重要作用。通过为多个航空计划提供通用的数字通信，处理和展示技术，PM AEC支持航空室内术中的性能以及通用技术体系结构和改进的物流支持。最终，这将大大提高了战场能力，并提高了机组人员的生存能力。

陆军利用新的飞机生产，生产转换计划和循环大修，以配备飞机以接收最新的ASE和通信设备。这些为合并ASE和航空设备提供了最具成本效益的方法，并且对航空单位的运营准备就绪影响最小。但是，时间是我们最大的敌人。今天，我们在现场的攻击和攻击飞机舰队面临着“聪明”的威胁，可以通过一系列自动化事件来检测，跟踪和破坏。时间或资金都无法反复将这些飞机带回仓库级别的设施来安装ASE和航空电子设施。在那些需要及时提供生存能力保护的情况下，需要使用飞机进行现场改造，使用美国陆军物资司令承包商团队进行改造，以减少对有机力量的影响。尽管现场改造策略是吞咽单位的痛苦药丸，但在敌对行动中，其在人员和物资上节省的折衷方案使改造的努力付出了很小的代价。

尽管必须对ASE和航空电子技术和技术进行适当的保护，但培训不能被忽略。ASE和航空电子设备必须是常规且持续的培训计划的一部分，以便其在就业过程中的运作成为机组人员的第二天性，并且其维护成为地面人员的常规。经验使军队今天明天进行计划的重要教训。在日常运营的优先级列表中，由于敌对行动的遥不可及，ASE和航空设备的优先级可能不高。但是，如果没有不断锻炼人/机器界面，而人/机器界面会使故意的并研究成反射，那么军飞行员对明天的战场几乎没有希望。

ASE and avionics equipment give us the definite edge on the battlefield over the threat systems. However, the effectiveness of this edge is due, in large measure, to the classified nature of the equipment. Specific information relating to ASE and avionics techniques and technologies employed by these systems is strictly limited. ASE and avionics equipment must be safeguarded to a degree sufficient to preclude any reasonable chance of theft, compromise, sabotage, tampering or access by unauthorized personnel. Foreign nationals will not have access to ASE or avionics equipment.
