Tactical Cryptologic Systems

Abstract

The Shipboard Information Warfare (IW) line includes the Ships Signal Exploitation Equipment (SSEE) Increment (Inc) E, F, G and modification programs. The SSEE program is a classified IW / Electronic Warfare (EW) and tactical cryptologic system that provides critical tactical intelligence, situational awareness, battlespace awareness, indications and warnings and hostile threat assessment. These systems provide the battle group and combatant commanders with the surface fleet's only EW non-kinetic capabilities ("Finish"). In addition they provide the battle groups with real time indications and warnings by acquisition ("Find") and localization ("Fix") of Signals of Interest (SOI). As an incremental acquisition program, Research, Development, Test & Evaluation (RDT&E) funding is required to have new technologies and associated new operational capabilities rapidly developed and transitioned as Pre-Planned Product Improvements (P3I) upgrades into the system's hardware/software configuration. This program's funding incorporates P3I, new Commercial Off-the-Shelf (COTS) based technologies and software into the existing systems. Funding will also focus on developing and delivering expanded non-kinetic EW capabilities and net-centric Service Oriented Architecture (SOA), which includes the development, integration and test of Medusa and the SSEE Modification capabilities in support of "Ballistic Missile Defense (BMD) Executive Committee (EXCOM) Anti-Submarine Warfare (ASW) Chief of Naval Operations (CNO) Executive Board Information Operation (IO) Countermeasure Red Flash/Medusa (details classified)." Integrated Communications and Data System (ICADS) AN/URC-148(V) is a Chief of Naval Operations (CNO) directed mission critical system which provides limited back-up, mobile communications capability for large deck naval platforms. The system provides a reliable, limited solution for re-establishing command and control for high value unit, subordinate units, and controlling fleet entities. ICADS is comprised of several mature systems. Specific program details held at a higher classification.

Change Summary Explanation
Due to FY12 Fleet reprioritization of requirements to complete the accelerated development and operationalization of the SSEE Modification Program in support of "BMD EXCOM ASW CEB Information Operation (IO) Countermeasure Red Flash/Medusa" efforts, SSEE Increment G program pre-acquisition activities were deferred to FY13 and SSEE Increment E program activities were extended to FY14. Decrease in funding from FY13 to FY14 due to completion of installation, integration and testing of 2 SSEE Modification EDMs, as well as completion of integration and testing of the High Gain IO Topside Antenna.
