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)." FY15 OCO funds ($470K) required for the development of Red Falcon systems in order to combat future SOI.

• Document Type: R2 Budgetary Justification
• Publication Date: Oct 01, 2016
• Source ID: 0304785N_5_1319_PB_2016
• Change Summary Explanation: The increase in funding from FY15 to FY16 is due to commencement of SSEE Modifications Phase 3 hardware and software development to provide capabilities to the Fleet in support of "BMD EXCOM ASW CEB IO Countermeasure Red Flash/Medusa", as well as Red Falcon system development. As a result of ongoing Pre-Acquisition Activities including AoA and cost estimates, the below changes have been made to the Inc G Schedule: INC G - 3 EDMs reduced to 2 EDMs INC G - RFP shifted from QTR 1 FY16 to QTR 2 FY16 INC G - Development contract award shifted from QTR 3 FY16 to QTR 4 FY16 INC G - SRR shifted from QTR 1 FY17 to QTR 2 FY17 INC G - PDR shifted from QTR 1 FY17 to QTR 4 FY17 INC G - CDR shifted from QTR 2 FY17 to QTR 3 FY18
