Abstract
AN/BVY-1 Integrated Submarine Imaging System (ISIS) will continue to add new capabilities via Technical Insertion (TI)/Advanced Processing Build (APB) process while working across Submarine Warfare Federated Tactical System (SWFTS) programs to develop according to Development Security Operations (DevSecOps) software processes and a cloud based architecture. The Navy is pursuing a transformation across SWFTS (PE 0604503N Project 0219, PE 0604562N Project 0236, PE 0604777N Project 0253 and PE 0604503N Project 0775) to maximize cyber-resiliency and the speed of capability delivery. FY23 maintains the 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. The $13.018M FY23 increase includes a $11.416M Signature Reduction Mast prototype effort to reduce the risk of counter detection and an inflationary increase to support longstanding RDT&E investments. Furthermore, this funding will continue to develop the Type 24 mast, improve the software algorithms and inboard hardware for processing outboard mast data, and support non-recurring inboard hardware engineering activities which develop the Technical Insertion kits installed in all submarine classes. Finally, FY23 funds the TI-22/APB-21 DT and other tests that verify software improvements funded in previous fiscal years. The Navigation and Electro-Optical (E-O) program enables littoral operations by procuring ISIS, production of low profile masts (Low Profile Photonics Mast (LPPM), 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 and ISIS on SSBN 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.
