(vi) Sensitivity of Technology: The Infrared Search and Track (IRST) system is a long-wave infrared sensor, integrated on a modified centerline fuel tank, that provides a passive, out-ofband, Alternative Fire Control System (AFCS) capable of detecting, tracking and engaging airborne targets at long range in a heavy Electronic Attack (EA) or radar-denied environment. The IRST Block II is a modified version of the IRST Block I, providing longer range detection over a wider field and enhanced warfighting capability. IRST provides critical capabilities in meeting future threats. Distributed Targeting Processor— Networked (DTP-N) is an upgrade to the Distributed Targeting System (DTS) providing internet protocol (IP) to the F/ A-18E/F and EA-18G, enabling connectivity to advanced tactical networks. The DTP-N upgrade provides the foundation for a majority of the future flight plan strike capabilities, which are related to improved targeting and networking. DTP-N is networking hardware required for tactical use of IP based waveforms. This upgrade also provides Multi-Level Security (MLS) features, offering new capabilities to the platform through increased security assurances on data separation and data transfer. Multifunctional Information Distribution System Joint Tactical Radio System (MIDS/JTRS) (6) provides a high capacity, low latency Internet Protocol (IP) based waveform that can quickly transmit large amounts of data. Advanced algorithms allow cooperative detection and engagement of a wider array of targets, improving fused track accuracy and increasing lethality/ survivability through Situational Awareness.
