Nav & Electro-Optical Supt
Abstract
The FY20 Navigation and Electro-Optical (E-O) support program develops submarine E-O and imagery systems and equipment that will improve submarine imaging capability in the areas of: ship safety, Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR), and tactical control (contact management in the littorals). The Department of the Navy established the Integrated Submarine Imaging System (ISIS) to rapidly field the Type 18 periscope, Periscope Acquisition, Tracking, and Ranging with Improved Observation Techniques (PATRIOT) rangefinder, Type 8 Mod 4 Infra-Red (IR) periscope systems, and integrate existing periscope imagery systems into a single imaging system for installation on board SSN 688 class and SEAWOLF class submarines. The ISIS baseline also includes the Imaging System with the Photonics Mast (PM) and all configurations of Low Profile Photonics Mast (LPPM) onboard VIRGINIA and Photonics Mast Variant (PMV) onboard SSGN class submarines. The PM, LPPM, and PMV design exploit a wide portion of the electro-magnetic spectrum through advanced E-O and thermal imaging and Electronic Warfare Support (ES)/communications intercept. The Common Submarine Imaging System (CSIS) capability development document (CDD), that covers both ISIS and Legacy Imaging systems was approved 22 Dec 2011 with an updated CDD approved on 15 Mar 2018. The CDD is used to fully integrate the ISIS program of record into the submarines force rapid Technical Insertion/Advanced Processor Build (TI/APB) process and to incorporate Fleet-endorsed requirements such as the LPPM. The $0.569M FY20 inflation increase continues the FY19 investment in imaging sensors and algorithms to improve submarine operations in high intensity littoral environments, intelligence gathering, real time imagery and support the safe and effective employment of surveillance and weapons systems. In FY20 these funds will continue the multi-year development of the Type 20 (previously named TOTIM) mast which will provide a modular mast with vastly increased capability, reduced maintenance costs and increased development flexibility with new reconfigurable mast sensors. Furthermore, this funding will improve the software algorithms and inboard hardware for the Type 20 mast and support non-recurring inboard hardware engineering activities which develop the Technical Insertion kits installed in all submarine classes that were previously funded with procurement (BLI 0840) funds which develop the Technical Insertion kits installed in all submarine classes. Finally, this inflation increase funds the TI-18/APB-17 688 Development Testing that verifies software improvements funded in previous fiscal years.
