	RC-135 Rivet Joint - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The RC-135V/W Rivet Joint is a United States Air Force reconnaissance aircraft used to support theater and national level consumers with near real-time on-scene intelligence collection, analysis and dissemination capabilities.
		The Rivet Joint fleet is currently undergoing significant airframe, navigational and powerplant upgrades which include re-engining from the TF-33 to the CFM-56 engines used on the KC-135 Stratotanker and upgrade of the flight deck instrumentation and navigational systems to the AMP standard.
		All Rivet Joint airframe and mission systems modifications are overseen by L3's, formerly Raytheon’s, Greenville, Texas facility, under the oversight of the Air Force Materiel Command.

	RIVET JOINT
		The jet is the 15th RC-135 Rivet Joint assigned to the 55th WG.
		The Rivet Joint fleet is currently undergoing significant airframe, navigational and powerplant upgrades which include re-engining from the TF-33 to the CFM-56 engines used on the KC-135R and upgrade of the flight deck instrumentation and navigational systems to the AMP standard.
		RIVET JOINT aircraft will not be able to exchange data among in-theater reconnaissance platforms and draw on CONUS based national assets to exchange data, cooperatively geolocate targets, and exploit robust targets in near-real-time.

		USAF R135v/w rivet joint surveillance aircraft are equipped with an extensive array of sophisticated intelligence gathering equipment that enable military specialists to monitor the electronic activity of enemies or potential enemies of the US and it’s allies.
		Knowledge of an enemy’s intentions is referred to within the Pentagon as dominant battlespace knowledge, DBK and a key element for it’s success and applicability is a fleet of 14 RC 135 Rivet Joints, which is scheduled to be increased to 16 in 1998.
		The linkage is expected to seamlessly connect the RJs ability to intercept and plot the location of electronic emissions with the AWACS aerial radar picture and the JOINT STARS ground radar and moving target indications.

	Seeking a Triple Threat Sensor
		The RC-135 Rivet Joint is probably in the best shape, structurally, of all the big ISR platforms, one reason its mission would be the last to be migrated to the MC2A.
		If so, Raytheon would lead this successor to the Rivet Joint, but Smart cautioned that Spiral 3 "is not nearly as clear and it's not nearly as defined" as Spiral 1 and 2.
		Air Combat Command initially pursued the project as a Joint STARS update, which called for a substantial upgrade to the E-8's main radar.

		“Sustaining the E-3 AWACS, E-8C Joint STARS, variants of the RC-135, EC-130, Compass Call, and EC-130 ABCCC are costly due to decreasing reliability, maintainability, vanishing vendor items, and aging airframe issues.” In addition to the new aircraft, space is viewed as a critical component of the new constellation.
		Consolidating platforms As presently envisioned, the capabilities currently delivered by the AWACS, Joint STARS, Compass Call, Rivet Joint, U-2, and Airborne Command and Control Center will all be provided by the MC2A and a constellation of high- and low- altitude unmanned aerial vehicles.
		B-2s teamed with F-22s supported by the MC2C will deliver the first blows to enemy threats, ultimately enabling joint forces to enter the battlespace.
