Combat System Integration
Abstract
COMNAVSEASYSCOM (SEA 05H) is assigned central Navy responsibility for interoperability, directing the development of policy and architecture for Strike Force (SF) warfare systems engineering and implementation of a common warfare systems engineering process. Furthermore, SEA 05H provides top level direction and execution for certification and assessments which support capability and quality for ships and submarines. SEA 05H has developed processes and tools including the establishment of a force-level warfare systems engineering process, stewardship of the introduction of Combat Systems, Command, Control, Computers, Communications and Intelligence (C5I) modernization and improvement into the Fleet Response Plan (FRP), Command & Control, Communications, Computers, & Combat Systems Integration Modernization Process (C5IMP), configuration management and certification processes, and force-level interoperability assessments using the Distributed Engineering Plant (DEP) land-based testing tool. This project funds the core elements required to conduct Test Bed Validation (TBV) and Warfare Systems Integration and Interoperability Testing (WSI2T) in accordance with the Naval Warfare Systems Certification Policy (NWSCP), Joint NAVSEA, NAVAIR, and SPAWAR SYSCOM Instruction. Project 0164: Combat System Integration: This project funds SF configuration management through the FRP shore based testing and WSI2T certification of operational computer systems in a test environment similar to their ultimate shipboard operational environment, and interoperability assessments (IA) which are a prerequisite for operational certification of the ships in SF configurations prior to deployment. Force certification of deploying ships in SF configurations is accomplished through the utilization of the Navy's DEP, which provides operational configurations for all naval combat systems located at multiple Navy land-based sites located across the country and connected via networking technology. The DEP provides the only opportunity for comprehensive interoperability testing of combat system and C5I configuration items prior to shipboard delivery for operational use in surface combatant platforms and strike group units. It is a U.S. Fleet Forces Command requirement that all SFs undergo IA testing in the DEP prior to deployment. Further, the DEP provides the mechanism to support the Navy's participation in the Joint testing environments as well as the coalition forces through the Combined Forces Battle Laboratories (CFBL) network to allow for assessments of both Joint and Coalition interoperability. Program focus is on new systems and platforms under development. Project 3312: Maritime Theater Missile Defense (MTMD): This project funds participation in the MTMD forum to promote interoperability with participating coalition nations. This project funds participation in the Modeling and Simulation (M&S), Battle Management, Command, Control, Communications, Computers and Intelligence (BMC4I), and Coalition Distributed Engineering Plant (CDEP) working groups. MTMD forum provides protection against the proliferation of short, medium and long-range Ballistic Missile (BM) and Advanced Anti-Ship Cruise Missile (ASCM) threats through the creation of an interoperable sea-based defense capability among coalition nations. Provide protection across the full spectrum of these threats and utilize existing interoperable sea-based systems to protect against current threats while progressively improving and developing systems and system-of-systems to enable evolving threats to be effectively countered. MTMD supports these eight working groups: (1) Battle Management Command, Control, Communications, Computers, and Intelligence (BMC4I) activities define and develop architectures. (2) Modeling & Simulation (M&S) performs legacy and future systems simulation testing. (3) Coalition Distributed Engineering Plant (CDEP) performs Hardware-in-the-Loop Testing. (4) Open Architecture (OA) develops Interface Standards and Data Models. (5) Test Planning and Execution (TPEX) develops Test Plans and oversees exercise and post event data analysis. (6) Develops the Forum CONOPS and identifies the operational constraints and tactical constructs surrounding MTMD activities. (7) Coalition Supersonic Sea-Skimming Targets (CSSST) evaluating the conversion of excess TERRIER Missiles into low cost targets. (8) Next Generation Infrared Search and Track (IRST) is evaluating the technologies of the participating nations to develop passive staring IRST sensor system. Project 9B88: Automated Test and Retest (ATRT): The Navy, through Automated Test and Re-Test (ATRT) is developing an automated test/analysis capability, which is applicable at phases within system development which provides reproducible and quantitative evaluation of system performance in order to support one of the Navy's priority initiatives of reduction of Total Ownership Cost (TOC). Funding will provide additional work towards ongoing testing and analysis efforts within the AEGIS Combat System Advanced Capability Build (ACB) 12, the Littoral Combat Ship (LCS) Mission Module development, the Ship Self Defense System (SSDS), AN/BYG-1 Submarine Combat System, and other major acquisitions.
