Abstract

The AN/BYG-1 is the combat control system common across all submarine platforms which incorporates tactical control, weapon/payload control and Tactical Local Area Network (TacLAN) functions into a single procurement program. AN/BYG-1 allows the submarine to rapidly update the ship-safety tactical picture, integrates the common tactical picture into the battlegroup, improves torpedo interfaces, and provides tactical TOMAHAWK and Harpoon capability. AN/BYG-1 systems will be continuously updated with hardware enhancements to address Commercial Off The Shelf (COTS) obsolescence, and provide capability improvements through software upgrades. Hardware updates are referred to as Tech Insertion (TI) kits and are differentiated by year of development (i.e. TI-20, TI-22, TI-24, etc.). The TI upgrades provide the baseline for all future AN/BYG-1 procurements. AN/BYG-1 is part of the Submarine Warfare Federated Tactical Systems (SWFTS), a family of interdependent systems that conduct cooperative system development and installations. Project Unit 0236: This program develops Commercial-Off-The-Shelf (COTS) based software and hardware upgrades for AN/BYG-1, the Multi-tube Weapons Simulator (MTWS), and the Common Weapon Launcher (CWL) in order to integrate improved tactical and payload control capabilities for all submarine classes. This program also develops new payload capabilities for the Submarine Launched Unmanned Aerial System (SLUAS). SLUAS incorporates unmanned aerial vehicles, vehicle encapsulating canisters, vehicle command and control capabilities, and vehicle stowage into submarines. SLUAS extends the sensor range of the submarine, serving as a key enabler of Over-The-Horizon (OTH) weapons employment. Provides funding for the development of the CWL; Legacy Launchers; MTWS; Information Assurance system; Onboard Team Trainer (OBTT); and Common Infrastructure Services (CIS) subsystem. This includes integration of OBTT - Master Controller (OBTT - MC) & Inter-Subsystem Monitoring Tool (ISMT) efforts as well as other common services within SWFTS. FY24 continues funding for development of TI-22 and TI-24. Cybersecurity efforts continue to grow due to increasing interconnection complexity, more Internet Protocol based traffic in future baselines, and development of Cyber Safe Controls. Integration efforts for additional submarine payloads including Contender and Maritime Strike Tomahawk (MST) continue in FY24. FY24 also continues efforts to support classified payloads.
