Nav & Electro-Optical Supt
Abstract
The FY21 Navigation and Electro-Optical (E-O) program enables littoral operations by procuring Integrated Submarine Imaging Systems (ISIS), production of low profile masts (Low Profile Photonics Mast, Type 20, and Type 24), maintenance and sustainment of periscope and legacy photonic masts, production and sustainment of Universal Modular Mast Systems and Dip Loops, and development of the ISIS inboard processing component of Submarine Warfare Federated Tactical Systems (SWFTS). The Department of the Navy established the ISIS to rapidly field the Type 18 periscope, RADAR 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 masts 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 Annex for Low Profile Digital Photonics Mast, approved on 02 Dec 2019, provides additional specifications for the development of low profile masts within the ISIS system. The $0.859M FY21 inflation increase continues the FY20 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 FY21 these funds will commence work on sensitive materials development and Mast Capability Enhancements for the Type 20 Mast. Furthermore, this funding will improve the software algorithms and inboard hardware for processing outboard mast data, including the Type 20 mast, and support non-recurring inboard hardware engineering activities which develop the Technical Insertion kits installed in all submarine classes. Finally, FY21 funds the TI20/APB19 MDEMO and the TI20/APB19 VA Development Testing that verifies software improvements funded in previous fiscal years.
