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 supporting Aircraft Carrier, Nuclear power (CVN) Tactical Action Office (TAO) and embarked Carrier Strike Group (CSG) Sea Combat Commander. This project provides incremental development to deliver frequent capability updates to the Fleet (via Fleet Capability Releases (FCR)), developing, testing, certifying, and fielding improved combat capability and critical cyber-security enhancements. The project maintains interoperability with current interfaces and develops interoperability with future interfaces; supports mission data exchange; improves ASW/SUW 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 organic Aircraft (MH-60R), organic platform sensors and tracks via Ship Self Defense System (SSDS) Product Line Architecture (PLA) and non-PLA, Link-16 track data, Global Command and Control System (GCCS) Over-the-Horizon (OTH) track data, and environmental and threat databases to assess the threat and assist the TAO and CSG to effectively employ overall CVN self-defense capabilities. Current development efforts are focused on extending non-organic ASW/SUW data sources to provide situational awareness and targets beyond the CSG surveillance area. This includes Minotaur Family of Services (MFoS)/Joint Tactical Terminal - Maritime (JTT-M) and Maritime Targeting Cell - Afloat (MTC-A), Integrated Broadcast Service (IBS) and future Resilient Command & Control, Communication (RC3) data links. 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 the MH-60R/S Seahawk, and P-8 Poseidon and MQ-4C Triton as future ASW/SUW non-organic supporting platforms. FY 2025 will focus on final testing and first article delivery of FCR-6, as well as FCR-7 development, to include software architecture upgrades and MTC-A integration, development, and testing. 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), cyber-security engineering and integration, as well as land-based and shipboard testing of new technologies to improve shipboard operations.

- Change Summary Explanation
- FUNDING CHANGES SINCE THE PREVIOUS PRESIDENT'S BUDGET AT THE OVERALL PE LEVEL: - FY 2023 decrease of $-0.187M reflects the Small Business Innovative Research (SBIR) transfer. - FY 2025 decrease of $-0.138M reflects the incorporation of miscellaneous rate adjustments. PROJECT 3216 - FY 2024 TO FY 2025 BUDGET REQUEST DECREASE: - FY 2024 ($4.954M) to FY 2025 ($4.575M) decrease ($-0.379M) is the result of FY 2024 including additional funding programmed that year to resolve hardware obsolescence/end-of-life issues as well as the application of miscellaneous rate adjustments in FY 2025. PROJECT 3216 - SCHEDULE CHANGES SINCE THE PREVIOUS PRESIDENT'S BUDGET: - Certification events: Previous schedules included individual milestones for four certification events: Integrated Shipboard Network System / Consolidated Afloat Network Enterprise System (ISNS/CANES) certification, Platform Information Technology / Authorization to Operate (PIT/ATO), Element Certification, and Combat System Certification (CST). These events have been represented in the past as occurring simultaneously in one quarter, however, internal and external dependencies often prevent that from occurring. The schedule has been updated to capture these four events in a singular event labeled 'Test & Cert' that spans two quarters. PROJECT 4005 - FY 2024 TO FY 2025 BUDGET REQUEST DECREASE: - The FY 2024 ($1.141M) to FY 2025 ($1.084M) program decrease ($-0.057M) reflects a miscellaneous rate adjustment.
