Carrier Systems Development
Abstract
This Navy unique program addresses all technology areas associated with Navy/Marine Corps aircraft operations aboard ships. The program includes: - (U)(2208) - Development of ship hull, mechanical, propulsion, electrical, aviation, and combat support systems, subsystems and components to significantly improve aircraft carrier affordability, manpower requirements, survivability, and operational capabilities, and to meet the requirements of existing and pending regulations and statutes critical to the operation of existing and future aircraft carriers. - (U)(3216) - Development of block upgrades of the MH-60R sensor suite into the AN/SQQ-34 Aircraft Carrier Tactical Support Center (CV-TSC). The CV-TSC provides increased situational awareness to the Carrier Strike Group (CSG) in support of force protection, primarily in the area of Anti Submarine Warfare (ASW). Through the integration of off-board sensors and signal, data and display processors, the AN/SQQ-34 is utilized in detecting, classifying, and localizing threats. An integrated element of the Carrier Combat System, the AN/SQQ-34 supports the tactical deployment of embarked ASW and Surface Warfare (SUW) assets (S-3B until retirement, SH-60F helicopter). This project provides the development and engineering foundation to refresh legacy AN/SQQ-34 systems on all Carriers and shore sites in support of fleet introduction and shipboard integration of the MH-60R Multi Mission Helicopter. Upgrades to legacy systems will enable exchange of sensor, tactical and imagery data with the MH-60R initially and eventually with P-8 and Broad Area Maritime Surveillance (BAMS) aircraft. - (U)(3217) - Development of multi-mission shipboard high data rate Ku-Band data link between the embarked air assets and the Carrier combat system, enabling exchange of sensor, tactical and imagery data initially with the MH-60R Multi Mission Helicopter. It also provides capability for on-the-deck mission synchronization with MH-60R. Eventually, the KU-band data link will support other Ku-Band equipped aircraft, including the P-8 and Broad Area Maritime Surveillance (BAMS). This effort will provide the Carrier with the capability to support multiple aircraft simultaneously on different missions, and completing the Kill Chain by linking sensor platform to sensor controllers and the ASW/SUW warfare commanders. - (U)(4004) - Development of an advanced technology aircraft launch system in support of the CVN 78 Class design and construction schedule. The Electro Magnetic Aircraft Launch System (EMALS) will replace the current steam catapult on CVN 78 Class ships. EMALS provides better control of applied forces, both peak and transient dynamic, improved reliability and maintainability, increased operational availability and reduced operator and maintainer workload. - (U)(4005) - The Smart Carrier Demonstration and Validation program exploits available technologies to deliver an affordable, robust, operator-friendly automation control environment for Navy Aircraft Carrier shipboard equipment. The program provides the system architecture, requirements/specification development, technology selection, software development (including software baseline), as well as land-based and shipboard testing of new technologies to improve shipboard operations and to reduce workload, manpower requirements, and Total Ownership Costs (TOC). - (U)(9B58A) - Funding will be used to continue ongoing corrosion testing at Ocean City Research Testing facility in NJ. Various coupons and coatings have been exposed up to 7 months now and will continue to be evaluated over the next three years of exposure under simulated flight deck conditions. The funding will also be used to initiate phase 2 study into the development of a corrosion inhibitor addition to the armature cooling to extend the armatures life. Phase one identified several candidates which look promising. The remainder of the funds will be utilized to interrogate and document the material properties of the alloys selected for use on EMALS. Fatigue and fracture data will be compiled under the unique conditions of the EMALS for the in-service support of the EMALS system. - (U) (9D23A) - Funds will be used to incorporate National Sensors data into a fusion engine in order to provide a complete and accurate Common Tactical Picture (CTP) of the surface and subsurface threat environment to the at-sea Warfare Commanders. The National Sensor Fusion Configuration Item (NSFCI), as an integral part of the Undersea Warfare Decision Support System (USW-DSS - AN/UYQ-100), has demonstrated the capability to collect and integrate a wide variety of disparate geospatial and sensor data, to fuse the available data sources into real time vessel tracks and to provide military commanders with the CTP they need to support critical battle-space decisions. The NSF for Puget Sound Port Security (PSPS) is being developed as an application within the Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) of USW-DSS. - (U) (9D24A) - Development of an advanced technology aircraft launch system in support of the CVN 78 Class design and construction schedule. The Electro Magnetic Aircraft Launch System (EMALS) will replace the current steam catapult on CVN 78 Class ships. EMALS provides better control of applied forces, both peak and transient dynamic, improved reliability and maintainability, increased operational availability and reduced operator and maintainer workload. - (U) 10C098 - Develop and validate a full scale composite aircraft carrier topside structure, providing a lightweight fragmentation/structural/fire integrated technology solution that can meet/exceed current performance requirements while reducing costs.
