Carrier Systems Development

Abstract

This Program Element (PE) addresses technology areas associated with Command and Control (C2) of the MH-60R/S Seahawk Helicopter, as well as the development of other technologies and enhancements for Aircraft Carrier-based systems. PROJECT 3216: The AN/SQQ-34 Aircraft Carrier Tactical Support Center (CV-TSC) program delivers Anti-Submarine Warfare (ASW) and Surface Warfare (SUW) combat capability to the Aircraft Carrier. This Project provides incremental development to deliver frequent capability updates to the Fleet, developing, testing, certifying, and fielding system upgrades and cyber-security patches. The Project maintains interoperability with current and future interfaces; supports mission data exchange; improves track/sensor processing and analysis techniques; improves mission planning; improves data recording, reconstruction, and distribution; improves embedded simulation and training capabilities and implements cyber-security measures to effectively employ overall CVN self-defense capabilities. CV-TSC integrates sensor data from Off-Board Aircraft, Organic Platform Sensors, Minotaur Multi-Sensor Fused Track Data, Link-16 Track Data, Ship Self Defense System (SSDS) Track Data (non-Product Line Architecture (non-PLA) and Product Line Architecture (PLA), Global Command and Control System (GCCS) Over-the-Horizon Track Data, and Environmental and Threat Databases to assess the threat and assist the Tactical Action Officer (TAO) and Composite Warfare Commander (CWC) to effectively employ overall CVN self-defense capabilities. CV-TSC generates real-time ASW/SUW information and recommendations, tactical planning and employment of ASW/SUW assets, ASW/SUW sensor data processing and analysis, and distribution of tactically significant data. Aircraft supported include: MH-60R/S Seahawk, P-8 Poseidon, MQ-4C Triton, and future ASW/SUW systems. PROJECT 4005: The In-Service Carrier Systems Development Demonstration and Validation Program develops new technology and enhancements 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), manpower requirements, Total Ownership Costs (TOC), as well as land-based and shipboard testing of new technologies to improve shipboard operations.

• Change Summary Explanation: FUNDING CHANGES SINCE PREVIOUS PRESIDENT'S BUDGET AT THE OVERALL PE LEVEL: - FY 2021 net increase of $+1.901M driven by a program adjustment to add and incorporate Minotaur Multi-Sensor Fused Track Data into the Project 3216 CV-TSC development program, as well as the incorporation of general and Navy Working Capital Fund (NWCF) specific rate adjustments against Projects 3216 and 4005. PROJECT 3216 - FY 2020 TO FY 2021 BUDGET REQUEST INCREASE: - FY 2020 ($4.295M) to FY 2021 ($6.335M) increase ($+2.040M) primarily driven by the addition and incorporation of Minotaur Multi-Sensor Fused Track Data into the Project 3216 CV-TSC development program beginning in FY 2021. This addition provides increased battlespace awareness and accelerates the find, fix, track capability and Maritime Intelligence Surveillance and Reconnaissance & Targeting (MIS&RT) function in a communications-denied environment. PROJECT 3216 - SCHEDULE CHANGES SINCE PREVIOUS PRESIDENT'S BUDGET: - CV-TSC FCR-3 Integrated Shipboard Network System/Consolidated Afloat Network Enterprise System (ISNS/CANES), Platform Information Technology/Information Assurance (PIT/ATO), Element Certification, and Combat System Test (CST) completion moved from 1Q20 to 3Q20, due to SSDS and combat system test schedule changes, specifically to CVN-70. - CV-TSC FCR-4 (supports SSDS Non-Product Line Architecture) ISNS/CANES, PIT/ATO, Element Certification, and CST completion moved from 1Q20 to 3Q20, due to SSDS and combat system test schedule changes, specifically to CVN-75. - CV-TSC FCR-5 development completion extended from 2Q21 to 3Q22, Independent Verification & Validation (IV&V) shifted from 2Q21-4Q21 to 2Q22-4Q22, and ISNS/CANES, PIT/ATO, Element Certification, and CST completion moved from 4Q21 to 4Q22, all due to the addition of Minotaur Multi-Sensor Fused Track Data Phase I integration efforts to the development stroke. - CV-TSC FCR-6 development shifted from 4Q21-1Q23 to 1Q23-3Q24, Independent Verification & Validation (IV&V) shifted from 1Q23-3Q23 to 2Q24-4Q24, and ISNS/CANES, PIT/ATO, Element Certification, and CST completion moved from 3Q23 to 1Q25, all due to the addition of Minotaur Multi-Sensor Fused Track Data Phase II integration efforts to the development stroke. PROJECT 4005 - FY 2020 TO FY 2021 BUDGET REQUEST INCREASE: - FY 2020 ($0.702M) to FY 2021 ($1.224M) increase ($+0.522M) is due to an increase in the scope of work for the additive manufacturing and the Weapons Elevator Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) redesign projects.
