Navy Strategic Comms
Abstract
The Shore to Ship Communications System develops communication system elements which provide positive command and control of deployed submarines. The Shore to Ship Communications System provides continuous assessment of the command and control links between the National Command Authority and missile platforms and is conducted to ensure compliance with Nuclear Technical Performance Criteria (NTPC). The Shore to Ship Communications System addresses joint system design issues for Emergency Action Message (EAM) distribution to all nuclear platforms and provides evaluation of joint interoperability of EAM delivery systems. Tools are developed to provide strategic command and control planning within the submarine shore infrastructure to support deployed ballistic missile submarines. FY12 funds will be used for development activities necessary to award a competitive contract for system design and development of Nuclear Command, Control and Communications Long Term Solution (NC3 LTS) and an increase in development in Low Band Universal Communications System to reach Milestone C. The E-6B Block I modification program corrects Airborne National Command Post program Follow-On Operational Test and Evaluation operational suitability deficiencies and addresses legacy system obsolescence issues. Without the Block I program, legacy system obsolescence will result in several unsupportable mission systems by 2010. Block I designs, develops, integrates, and tests a Multi-Level Security system, Open Systems Architecture; replaces the intercommunications and Mission Computer Set; modifies the cooling, electrical, and Ultra-High Frequency Command, Control and Communications system; and addresses Internet Protocol Bandwidth Expansion impacts to pre-Block I baseline aircraft. Block I adds operator workstations throughout the aircraft to reduce workload and improve system interoperability, and provides a foundation for evolutionary upgrades. Other modifications (Block IA Engineering Change Proposal (ECP)) include: an additional Auxiliary Power Unit to enhance power and cooling capabilities supporting the additional systems in the Multi-Level Security system, Open Systems Architecture, a Very Low Frequency Transmitter obsolescence replacement, and a High Power Transmit Set subsystem refurbishment.

- Change Summary Explanation
- Schedule: (1083) NC3 LTS: The Request for Proposal (RFP) release was delayed from 4QFY10 to 2QFY11. As a result of the RFP delay, contract award, system design and development, Preliminary Design Review (PDR), Milestone C, system test events and system fielding were delayed accordingly. (3002) Due to testing deficiencies and delays, the Systems Integration Lab (SIL) and Aircraft Developmental Testing for Block I was extended to 4Q FY10. This caused a delay in the Block I operational testing and operational evaluation (OPEVAL). The Low Rate Initial Production was extended to 4Q FY12. The Block I Full Rate Production decision and contract award was delayed until 1Q FY12 - until the completion of the Block I operational testing and OPEVAL. Technical: Not applicable.
