This effort will include modernization, reduction of Size/Weight/Power (SWaP), and to address only obsolesce issues and/or concerns. A report for upgrades to those systems is to be provided. The analysis will take into consideration the Block I and Block II systems installed on the aircraft as well as the Low Frequency Transmit Set (LFTS) and Common VLF Receiver Increment 1 (CVRi1) program currently under development by the Air Force.
