SSN-688 and Trident Modernization-MIP

Abstract

A. MISSION DESCRIPTION AND BUDGET ITEM JUSTIFICATION: The Submarine Support Equipment Program develops and improves submarine Electronic Warfare Support (EWS) technology, components, equipment, and systems that will increase submarine operational effectiveness, safety of ship, and survivability in an increasingly dense and sophisticated electromagnetic environment caused by the proliferation of complex radar, communications, and navigation equipment of potential adversaries. Enhancements are necessary for submarine EWS to be operationally effective in the following mission areas: Joint Littoral Warfare, Joint Surveillance, Space and Electronic Warfare and Intelligence Collection, Maritime Protection, and Joint Strike. The Submarine Sonar Improvement Program delivers block updates to Sonar Systems and improved Sensors installed on SSN 688, 688I, SSN 21, TRIDENT, Virginia, SSBN, and SSGN Class Submarines to maintain clear acoustical, tactical and operational superiority over submarine and surface combatants in all scenarios through detection, classification, localization and contact following. Current developments are focused on supporting Littoral Warfare, Regional Sea Denial, Battle Group Support, Diesel Submarine Detection, Surveillance, and Peacetime Engagement. Submarine Support Equipment Program was changed to a Military Intelligence Program beginning Fiscal Year 2011 under a new Program Element.
