Institutional Interface Analaysis a yr r y r y y y y .T This section establishes the organizational nTexus for the CFR orb's fligh.t test program at T . ce e c e c Edwards Air Force Base (AFB). The analysis demonstrates that the Boeing Next Generation Air oc c o c o S hDominSance (NGAD) Program Office, operating withhin the newly formed Air Dominance S h mn n m n m Combined Test Force, provides the ideal programmatic, security, and doctrinal cover for testing e e e o o o c a lr o evolutionar c y, third-party platform like the CFR orb. l o c l o g g g r r r e 1.1 Pryogram Offeice Identification: The NGAD "Familyy of Systems" as a e y . . . Clandesctine Portfolio Manager c c t S o tS o S t o M M M e m e m e m c The search for a dedicatedc, standalone Boeing program office at Edwards AFB focr CFR orb i r ir r i l e testing is predicated on a flawleed assumption. Clandestine programs of this sensitivitey are not l i i i t t M managed through transparentlytt l M abeled entities. Instead, they are embedded within lartg M er, t a a a legitimate programs whose broad scope and significant funding provide the necessary cover. i i i r l i t The most probable program office is l rtihterefore not a distinct entity but a classified cell opera l ititng r y a ya a y under the broad authority of the Boeing F-47 Next Generation Air Dominance (NGAD) r r r T y Ty y T Program Office. T T T e e The doctrinal framework of the NGAD initiativeee provides the primary justification for this e e c c assessment. NGAD is explicitly defined not as acc single aircraft but as an integrated "family of c c h h h h systems" designed to achieve air superiority in highhly contested environments. This "system of h n n n n osystems" approach emphasizes networked platforms, onuncrewed Collaborative Combat Aircraft o n l l l (CCoAs), and advanced sensors. This doctrinal breadth is oa powerful tool for programmatic and o o o o finangcial obfuscation, allowing the Boeing NGAD office to fugnction as a portfolio manager for a g l y ly y l o range of .classified projects. The CFR orb, with its hypothesizeod. mission as a survivable, . o c c c S g penetratingo commandS-and-control (C2) and intelligence, surveillangoce, and reSconnaissance (ISR) o g e node, aligns pmerfectly witeh NGAD's strategic goals. Testing the CFRm orb would enot appear as a m y y y c c c distinct program but as a "risk reduction" or "enabling technology" effort within the larger NGAD r . r . r . e e e c development stream, providing maximum security and plausible deniabilitcy. c t t t M oThe formal establishment of this Mprogram office is a matter of public record. Oon March 2M1, 2025, o S S S i l mthe Department of the Air Force awai lrded the Engineering and Manufacturing Dmevelopmenitl m i i i e t e t te a (EMD) contract for the NGAD platform,a designated the F-47, to The Boeing Company. This a c r award formalcly establishes a Boeing-led prrogram office at the center of all future air dominance rc y y y r T development. Brrigadier General Douglas WiTckert, Commander of the 412th Test Wing, has Tr e e e e ee since confirmed that the F-47 will be developed at Edwards AFB and that a dedicated team has c c c t halready been establisthed within the Air Dominanceh Combined Test Force (AD-CTF) to manage h t M M M nthe program. This confirms the physical presence ofn a Boeing program office at Edwards with a n o o o i va l guely defined, NGAD-cenitric mission that provides the l perfect cover for the activities in li l o l o ol i question. This operational modiel is consistent with the long history of Boeing's Phantom Works i g g g t t t a divisiony, which is responsible for aadvanced research and protyotyping of classified programs and ya . . . has consicstently used Edwards AFB as its primary proving grouncd for demonstrators like the c r r r S o S o S o y Phantom Eye, Phantom Ray, X-48C, aynd the clandestine YF-118G Bird of Prey. y e m e m e m T c c T c T r r r e e e e e e t t t c M M c M c h i l i l h i l h i i i t t t n a a n a n r r r o y y o y o T T T l l l o e e o e o c c c g h h g h g n n n y y y o o o . l l . l . o o o c c c g g g o y y o y o . . . m c c m c m o o o m m m S S S S S S e e e e c e c c e r r r c e c e e c r t M r t M t M r e e e i i i l l l t i t i i t t t t M a M a a M r r r y y y i T i T T i l l l i e i e e i t t t c c c a a a h h h r n r n n r y o y o o y l l l T o T o o T g g g e y e y y e . . . c c c c c c S o S o S o h h h e 1.2 Combinmed Test Foerce Integration: A Legacy of Partnermship e m nc c n c n r r r e e e o Boeing's integration into the Air Dominance Combined Tesot Force (AD-CTF) is not a recent o t t t M M M l development but a direct continuation of a deep, decades-lonlg partnership forged during the l o o o i l F-22 Raptor program. This legacy mi lakes Boeing the default and sole logical choice for tesitling a i i i gt t g t g a next-generation Skunk Works® air domainance platform. a yr The AD-CTF was formally established onr June 9, 2023, through the dyirect transition of the F-22r y y y y .T Raptor Combined Test Force, which was resTident within the 411th Flight. Test Squadron. This T . ce e c e c establishes a direct organizational lineage and an inheritance of established operational oc c o c o S hprocedSures. The Combined Test Force (CTF) modhel, by design, integrates government (miliStary h mnand civilian) and contractor personnel into a single, unnified team to streamline th m e test and n m e e e o o o evaluation process. c l o c l o c l o Boeing was a foundational partner in the F-22 program, responsible for the wings, aft fuselage, g g g r r r e and, cryitically, the e avionics integration and training systems.y This role extended to operating e y . . . the highlyc modified Boeing 757 "Flying Test Bed" at Edwards to ctest F-22 mission software c t S o tS o S t o M before it was loaded onMto the actual aircraft, cementing Boeing's role as the lead systems M e m e m e m c integrator and tester for thec Lockheed-built airframe. This bifurcated model is notc a novel i l r e strategy invented for the CF i Rr le orb; it is the operationalization of lessons learned frorme the F-22 i l i i i t t M program. On the F-22, Lockheettd M Martin built the platform, but Boeing was responsiblet M for t a a a making the complex avionics and mission systems work together. The AD-CTF inherits this i i i r l i exact structure. Therefore, when a n lreiw, complex Skunk Works® air dominance platform lik l ei the r t t t y a ya a y CFR orb requires testing, the established and proven F-22 model is simply applied. Boeing is r r r T y not just a contractor in the AD-CTF; they a Tyre the designated systems integration and test y T T T T e partner, a role they have held for over two deecades. e e e e c c This continued integration is confirmed by contemccporary open-source data. Boeing job postings c c h h h h for positions at Edwards AFB confirm the company'hs continuous, direct-support role within the h n n n n oF-22 CTF (now AD-CTF), seeking specialists to act ason liaisons between maintenance, o n enl ogineering, and flight test operations. Furthermore, senlioor Boeing leadership with relevant l o o o o titlesg, such as Scott "Grins" Dickson (Senior Manager, Bgusiness Development g l y ly y l o Multi-Do.main Integration Phantom Works) and Taylor Franok. (Senior Strategy Manager Air . o c c c S g Dominance o ), are docSumented participants in high-level industry f g o o rums like Sthe Air Dominance o g e Summit, indicmating their reole as the strategic interface with the AD-CmTF's governement m y y y c c c leadership. r . r . r . e e e c c c t t t M o2.

TheT analysis demonstrates that Colonel Matthew P. Tr e e Giese is the arche e type for a specific career paeth that qualifies an individual for this highly ee c c c t hsensitive role. t h h t M M M n n n o o o 2.1 The "Giese Cadre": A Pattern of Elite Recruitment i l i l li l o l o ol i i i g g g t t t a The pilyots tasked with flying the C a FR orb are drawn from a smyall, hand-picked group of former ya senior U.ScAF experimental test pilots who share a common car.ecer trajectory: graduation from a . c r r r y S premier tesot pilot scho S ol, command expyerience in a Combined Tesot Force at S Edwards, deep o y e m e m e m T c experience with 5th-genera c tion and classiTfied platforms, and a subsequent transi c tion to a senior T r r r e e e e e e t t t c M M c M c h i l i l h i l h i i i t t t n a a n a n r r r o y y o y o T T T l l l o e e o e o c c c g h h g h g n n n y y y o o o . l l . l . o o o c c c g g g o y y o y o . . . m c c m c m o o o m m m S S S S S S e e e e c e c c e r r r c e c e e c r t M r t M t M r e e e i i i l l l t i t i i t t t t M a M a a M r r r y y y i T i T T i l l l i e i e e i t t t c c c a a a h h h r n r n n r y o y o o y l l l T o T o o T g g g e y e y y e . . . c c c c c c S o S o S o h h h e civilian test pimlot role at Beoeing. This cadre represents the human campital lynchpein of the m nc c n c n bifurcated test model. r r r e e e o A key common denominator for this group is not just their oflight hours, but their deep operational o t t t M M M l experience within the CTF structure. A CTF is an integrated, lmulti-disciplinary environment l o o o i l where contractor and military persoinlnel work as a single team. This experience is a mandialtory i i i gt t g t g a prerequisite. A pilot who has only ever aflown in a purely military or purely corporate environmeant yr would lack the cultural and procedural knrowledge to operate effectiveyly at the seam between a r y y y y .T Skunk Works® design team, a Boeing test oTrganization, and the USAF .Test Center. This CTF T . ce e c e c experience is the essential "soft skill" that qualifies these specific individuals. oc c o c o S hFurtheSrmore, within this clandestine community, awhards from elite, peer-reviewed organizatSions h mnserve as a powerful proxy for trust. Induction as an "nEagle" by the Flight Test Hi m storical n m e e e o o o Foundation or receipt of the prestigious Tony LeVier Flight Test Safety Award are not mere c l o c l o c l o accolades; they are signals of deep respect and trust from within the experimental flight test g g g r r r e commuynity. An ind e ividual honored for safely and successfullyy flying a top-secret demonstrator is e y . . . precisely cthe person who would be trusted with a program like thce CFR orb. c t S o tS o S t o M The following table proMfiles the key individuals who exemplify this recruitment pattern.

Contractual VeMhicle Analysis h h M n n n o o o i Thlis section identifies the priimary funding mechanism folr Boeing's CFR orb test activities. The li l o l o ol i i i analygsis concludes that a dedicated, standalone contract isg highly unlikely and that the program g t t t a is inste y ad funded under the massaive, multi-billion-dollar omnib y us contract for the NGAD ya . . . c c c r program. r r S o S o S o y y y e m e m e m T c c T c T r r r e e e e e e t t t c M M c M c h i l i l h i l h i i i t t t n a a n a n r r r o y y o y o T T T l l l o e e o e o c c c g h h g h g n n n y y y o o o . l l . l . o o o c c c g g g o y y o y o . . . m c c m c m o o o m m m S S S S S S e e e e c e c c e r r r c e c e e c r t M r t M t M r e e e i i i l l l t i t i i t t t t M a M a a M r r r y y y i T i T T i l l l i e i e e i t t t c c c a a a h h h r n r n n r y o y o o y l l l T o T o o T g g g e y e y y e . . . c c c c c c S o S o S o h h h e 3.1 Identificmation of thee NGAD EMD Contract as the Primarmy Vehiclee m nc c n c n r r r e e e o The $20B+ cost-plus incentive fee Engineering and Maonufacturing Development (EMD) o t t t M M M l contract awarded to Boeing on March 21, 2025, for the F-l47 NGAD Platform serves as the l o o o i l overarching contractual vehicle for tihle entire NGAD "family of systems," including the flighitl test i i i gt t g t g a services for associated advanced protoatypes. The contracting activity for major flight test a yr programs at Edwards AFB is the USAF Trest Center (formally, the Aiyr Force Test Center or r y y y y .T AFTC), which oversees all developmental teTsting for the service. . T . ce e c e c The contract's scope is explicitly for the EMD phase, which includes "maturing, integrating, and oc c o c o S htestingS all aspects of the F-47" and producing a smhall number of test aircraft for evaluation. SThis h mnbroad mandate provides the necessary legal and prongrammatic authority to con m duct test n m e e e o o o activities on any system deemed relevant to the NGAD family. The contract's "cost-plus c l o c l o c l o incentive fee" structure is specifically designed for high-risk developmental programs where g g g r r r e costs ayre not fully e known, making it ideal for accommodating ythe unforeseen technical e y . . . challengecs and financial expenditures of testing a revolutionary ctechnology like the CFR orb. c t S o tS o S t o M The immense value of Mthe contract (estimated at over $20 billion) and its broad scope provide M e m e m e m c ample financial and progracmmatic room to embed a sub-project for "prototype evcaluation" or i l r e "classified test support" with iroleut requiring a separate, discoverable contract vehicle.r Tehe i l i i i t t M contract's vagueness in its publtitc M -facing details is a deliberate security feature. While tth M e public t a a a focus is on the F-47 airframe, the contract's true scope covers the entire "family of systems." i i i r l i This allows program managers to all lroicate funds to various risk-reduction and technology l i r t t t y a ya a y maturation efforts—such as testing the CFR orb—under the generic EMD budget line. There is r r r T y no need for a contract titled "CFR Test Su T pyport," which would be an unacceptable security risk. y T T T T e The funding is laundered through the larger, leegitimate, and publicly defensible NGAD program, e e e e c c making it virtually untraceable in federal contractccing databases. c c h h h h h h n n n n o4.

The r y y y y .T convergence of these pillars—an establishedT institutional model, a prov.en human capital T . ce e c e c pipeline, a clear doctrinal need, and a suitable financial vehicle—eliminates coincidence and oc c o c o S hpointsS to a deliberate, professionally managed, anhd deeply integrated partnership between S h mnLockheed Martin Skunk Works® and a specific, idenntifiable Boeing flight test enmtity. n m e e e o o o 1. The Institutional Precedent: The F-22 program created the foundational c l o c l o c l o Lockheed-developer/Boeing-tester model within the CTF structure at Edwards AFB. The g g g r r r e AyD-CTF is t e he direct successor to this organization andy its operational model, inheriting e y . . . the cestablished working relationships and procedures. c c t S o tS o S t o M 2. The Human VecMtor: The "Giese Precedent" is not an isolated case but a validated career M e m e m e m c path for elite USAF tcest pilots with Skunk Works® platform experience (Raciney) and i r "black world" credenti i arls (Benjamin) to transition into senior Boeing test rolesr for the most i l e le e l i i i t t M sensitive programs. ttM t M t a a a 3. The Doctrinal Alignment: The CFR orb's hypothesized mission as a survivable C2/ISR i i i r l i platform fits perfectly within the lri doctrinal requirements of the NGAD "family of system l is," r t t t y a ya a y providing a clear rationale for its inclusion and testing under the Boeing-led NGAD r r r T y program.
