Tactical Cryptologic Systems

Abstract

The Shipboard Information Warfare (IW) line includes the Ship's Signal Exploitation Equipment (SSEE) Increment (Inc) E, F, G and Modifications programs. The SSEE program is a classified IW / Electronic Warfare (EW) and tactical cryptologic system that provide 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 Modifications 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 (Additional details held at a higher classification level)." 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.
