Advanced Hawkeye
Abstract
The E-2D Advanced Hawkeye (AHE) program develops, demonstrates, tests, and procures the replacement of the AN/APS-145 radar system and other aircraft system components including Cooperative Engagement Capability Pre-Planned Product Improvement and Dual Transmit Satellite Communications that modernize the E-2 weapon system to maintain open ocean mission capability while providing the United States Navy with an effective littoral surveillance, battle management, Naval Integrated Fire Control - Counter Air (NIFC-CA) and Theater Air and Missile Defense (TAMD) capability. Key radar technologies are Space-Time Adaptive Processing, Electronically Scanning Array, solid state transmitter, high dynamic range digital receivers and Identification Friend or Foe (IFF)/radar aperture integration. The resultant detection system will provide a substantially improved overland performance by correcting current sensor shortfalls and enhancing all current required mission areas, while simultaneously contributing to the emerging TAMD mission requirements. Mode 5/S is an upgrade to the existing IFF System providing the warfighter positive, secure and reliable identification of friendly aircraft, surface and sub-surface platforms. Mode 5/S replaces the National Security Administration de-certified Mode 4 IFF capability, which is no longer effective or suitable for modern military operations. Mode 5/S will support the Joint Initial Operational Capability (IOC) as defined by the Joint Requirements Oversight Council. An Aerial Refueling (AR) capability will allow the E-2D AHE to receive fuel from various organic and non-organic tanker aircraft. It provides Expanded Battle Space Surveillance and Targeting through significantly enhanced persistence and increased flexibility (range & endurance). AR will better enable the E-2D AHE to fully support current Carrier Strike Group /Joint 24/7 Theater Operations by providing more versatile stationing and/or forward basing options. Previous domestic E-2 concept demonstration effort successfully established the feasibility of tanking behind the F/A-18E/F and KC-130 aircraft under E-2 Squadrons, PE 0204152N. The E-2D Counter Electronic Attack (CEA) capability will allow the E-2D radar system to maintain performance in an advanced hostile intentional electromagnetic interference environment. The E-2D CEA program will ensure E-2D effectiveness is maintained in an Electronic Attack environment supporting the NIFC-CA capability and overall Navy and Joint Integrated Air and Missile Defense strategy. The E-2D Secret Internet Protocol Router (SIPR) Chat capability will support integration of current collaboration tools including tactical "chat" (text) communications, real-time tasking, and Air Tasking Order distribution. Recent real world operations have demonstrated a migration of Command and Control communications from voice to Internet protocol based networks. The E-2D Multifunctional Information Distribution System/Joint Tactical Radio System (MIDS/JTRS)Tactical Targeting Networking Technology (TTNT) integrates Advanced Tactical Data Link functionality into the E-2D. This effort includes replacing the Multifunctional Information Distribution System - Low Volume Terminal (MIDS LVT) radio with MIDS/JTRS that has incorporated Link -16 concurrent Multi -netting (CMN-4) and TTNT. MIDS/JTRS TTNT is a key enabler for E-2D sensor netting capability in support of the NIFC-CA mission. The E-2D Advanced Mid-Term Interoperability Improvement Program (AMIIP) will address the most severe data link related interoperability issues. This capability will significantly improve the quality of the tactical surveillance picture, reduce the possibility of leakers, mitigate Blue on Blue engagements and mid-identification of tracks. Provides stable sensor fusion foundation to support sensor/weapon coordination requirements. FY16 starts E-2D Sensor Netting which provides fusion of data from off-board sources via a high bandwidth network that will allow E-2D to support the second spiral of performance improvements for NIFCA-CA capability. Additional details are classified. FY16 starts E-2D Data Fusion which provides a fusion engine to blend off-board tactical data (e.g. Electronic Surveillance and Satellite Receiver System (SRS) data) with already blended radar, Identify Friend or Foe (IFF) and Cooperative Engagement Capability (CEC) track-files, greatly enhancing situational awareness and tactical decision making. Successful E-2D NIFC-CA engagements depend on a clear/unambiguous tactical picture and the shortest possible decision timeline. FY16 starts E-2D Fighter to Fighter backlink which implements Link-16 Network Participation Group 20 messages for Fighter-to-Fighter backlink capability in E-2D. This functionality improves interoperability between E-2D and participating US Navy fighters, including 5th generation aircraft, enhancing combat effectiveness of E-2D, increases situational awareness (SA), and shortens kill-chain timelines (including NIFC-CA ). FY16 starts E-2D Navigation Warfare (NAVWAR) which prevents loss of GPS by using a Controlled Reception Pattern Antenna (CRPA) and antenna electronics (AE) unit which will function to provide GPS access in an Electronic Attack (EA) environment. NAVWAR significantly reduces the likelihood of loss of critical GPS Position, Navigation and Timing functionality that is fundamental to E-2D battlespace awareness and its contributions to multiple link networks. FY16 starts E-2D J11 Message which incorporates the J11 Message set to the E-2D Link-16 architecture, enabling E-2D support of Net Enabled Air-to-Surface Weapons such as a JSOW C-1 launched from other platforms to improve terminal accuracy and probability of kill. E-2D J11 messages would expand Carrier Strike Group Offensive Anti-Surface Warfare (OASuW) mission and Naval Integrated Fire Control- Counter Surface (NIFC-CS) capability, enabling launch and leave capability for weapon launch platforms, increasing both survivability and lethality of participating aircraft. FY16 starts E-2D Stores Performance Assessment Requested Quality (SPARQ) which establishes real-time requirements for E-2D sensor contribution to system of system NIFC-CA solutions. SPARQ expands and optimizes operational employment envelopes, improving Air Wing ability to take advantage of System of System capabilities of NIFC-CA, reduces operational workload and latency of execution. This program is funded under SYSTEM DEVELOPMENT AND DEMONSTRATION because it includes those projects that have passed Milestone B approval and are conducting engineering and manufacturing development tasks aimed at meeting validated requirement prior to full-rate production decision.
