Ship Self Defense - DEM/VAL

Abstract

This program incorporates efforts dedicated to the enhancement of ship defense against Anti-Air Warfare (AAW) and other evolving threats. Its primary focus is on the development of technologies, systems, and procedures necessary to defeat the evolving Anti-Ship Cruise Missile (ASCM) threat and then it expands to allow for application of these technologies in other warfighting areas. These projects focus on ship defense improvements through the development of advanced concepts and capabilities that will enhance both defense in depth of ships in a force and self defense of individual ships in a littoral war-fighting environment. Quick Reaction Combat Capability (QRCC) Requirements Analysis Working Group (RAWG), Project 2133, provides independent analysis for a variety of combat system AAW self-defense cost-benefits trade, ship class performance studies, and force protection strategic plan development. Force Advanced Warfare Concept Technology (FACT), Project 2184, demonstrates concepts and capabilities that will enhance the warfighting ability of ships and aircraft and enable the coupling of the Force into a single, distributed weapon system through more effective use of tactical data, and force sensors and weapons. During FY09, FACT's Ocean Surveillance Initiative (OSI) continued prototyping of technologies to provide a complete, accurate, wide area, persistent surface track picture in a tactical theater of interest. The emphasis of these technologies was on the planning and detection capabilities required to simultaneously track all surface targets within view of the radar. During FY10 and FY11, the Innovation Team will begin development and prototyping of technologies to provide a Strike Group with a Geo-Referenced Common Tactical Maritime Picture (CTMP), incorporating several hundred thousand square miles of accurate, real time surface track data from aircraft such as Broad Area Maritime Surveillance (BAMS) P-3, P-8, and MH-60R. FACT will begin to develop technologies for integration of the tactical surface picture into surface combat systems such as Aegis and Ship Self Defense System (SSDS) and technologies to disseminate the Common Tactical Maritime Picture amongst the Expeditionary Strike Group (CSG/ESG). The Innovation Team will also analyze and assess the feasibility of wide area Anti-Submarine Warfare (ASW) sensor netting.
