Apache Modernized Day Sensor Assembly

Capability / Improvements:Description:• Color/Near Infrared (NIR) TV Camera • Matching fields of view (FOV) with Forward Looking Infrared

(FLIR)

Three Phase Approach:• Phase 1 – Modernized Laser Range Finder Designator (M-

LRFD) and Dayside Electronics Unit (DEU) replace Laser Transceiver Unit and Laser Electronics Unit ( )

• Ultra Narrow FOV for increased range• Improved Laser Spot Tracker Sensitivity• Laser Pointer on TADS gimbal w/ Right Hand Grip engagement• Inertial Measuring Unit (IMU) with improved stability• Modular Line Replaceable Modules (LRM)

FLIR d NIR bl di f i d

Transceiver Unit and Laser Electronics Unit• Phase 2 – Color Camera, Laser Pointer, Inertial Measurement

Unit, Ultra-Narrow Field of View• Phase 3 – Eye Safe Training Designator and two-color Laser

Spot Tracker

Main Objectives: • FLIR and NIR blending for increased awareness• New Day Sensor Shroud• Color Digital TEDAC• Embedded Training System• Enables High-Reliability Turret (post-Capability Lot 6)

Main Objectives:• Obsolescence Mitigation• Improved Reliability/Maintainability• Improve Stabilization• Color and HD in Apache cockpit• Embedded Full Sensor training

( t h t ti )

Status:• Phase 1 (M-LRFD): in production; AWR complete

• On contract: Lots 1 thru 3• MLRFD production cut-in at Boeing began in March 2014 to

t 1 101

Risk/Issues:• Need to synchronize MDSA Phase 3

deliveries to support FOT&E II and Unit Training Requirements

(at home station)

support 1-101 • Lot 4 production contract in work – waiting CRP acceptance

• Phase 2 (M-DSA): just completed flight test/qual program• MDSA Lot 1-2 production contract in work: currently waiting

CRP acceptance; early FY16 (if no UCA)• MDSA Lot 3+ production contract award: late FY16 (align

Training Requirements• Laser Spot Tracker has smaller FOV

than Legacy causing performance debate, but meets Performance Specification (LST Testing June 2014 at Redstone)

with aircraft multi-year; will include HR Turret)• Phase 3 (Dual-Mode Laser Spot Tracker): NRE on contract

• Working with LM to synchronize MDSA/DMLST schedules• Production will be incorporated as an option under MDSA

Lot 1-2 production contract and as part of the base of all future production contracts

Next Event:• M-DSA Phase 2 Test Program Outbrief
