with

[[Page 19661]]

Office of Naval Research priorities, including power & energy; 
operational environments; maritime domain awareness; information 
analysis and communication; Naval warrior performance and protection; 
survivability and self-defense; and platform mobility. This project is 
expected to support research for the Department of Defense, while 
supporting Cal Poly's science and engineering faculty and students.
  Requesting Member: Congressman Kevin McCarthy
  Bill Number: H.R. 3326
  Account: Research, Development, Test and Evaluation, Navy
  Legal Name of Requesting Entity: Electronic Warfare Associates, Inc

California 93555
  Description of Request: $2 million is included for the Navy Advanced 
Threat Simulator (NATS) to develop an advanced threat simulator to 
support development and testing of new electronic warfare systems that 
will operate against the latest threat surface-to-air missile systems 
currently being deployed in potentially hostile areas of the world. 
This project is expected to result in a more robust self-defense 
capability for our Naval aviators, upgrade China Lake's testing and 
training ranges, and continue to support local jobs in Ridgecrest.

  Description of Request: $2 million is included for the Flow Path 
Analysis Tool (FPAT), to continue development of a state-of-the-art 
ramjet/scramjet analysis tool for military (Army, Navy, and Air Force) 
and NASA applications. FPAT is expected to save millions of dollars by 
evaluating feasibility, predicting performance, and eliminating non-
viable or too costly design concepts without having to actually build 
them (or scale models of them) for testing.

mission of testing the EA-18G and save money by optimizing lab testing 
rather than flight testing.

modifications will help to ensure thorough testing of the next 
generation of re-usable launch vehicles that leverage advanced domestic 
propulsion technology.
