Nav Integrated Fire Control-Counter Air Sys Eng

Abstract

3159 Naval Integrated Fire Control - Counter Air (NIFC-CA) Systems Engineering Integration and Test (SEI&T) project is a systems engineering effort to extend the Naval Theater Air and Missile Defense battlespace out to the maximum kinematic range of our weapons. This includes targets beyond the detection range of the shooter, including Engage On Remote (EoR) and Over the Horizon (OTH) targets. The NIFC-CA project exploits capabilities inherent in existing systems, optimizes current and emerging technologies in component system upgrades, integrates them together, performs kill chain tests, forming an interoperable System of Systems (SoS) to maximize future air defense capabilities. NIFC-CA consists of three kill chains called From the Air (FTA), From the Sea (FTS), and From the Land (FTL). As directed by OPNAV, the project is focused on SEI&T efforts to integrate the From TheSea (FTS) kill chain consisting of the E-2D Advanced Hawkeye, Cooperative Engagement Capability (CEC), AEGIS, and SM-6 missile. This PE will support efforts including system definition and architecture development, performance prediction, performance assessment, system test and risk reduction efforts, system analysis, modeling and simulation, and capability demonstrations for the FTS kill chain. The project also facilitates the development of the concept of operations with the warfighter to maximize effectiveness when deployed with the Fleet. This PE also includes SEI&T activities to integrate the US Army's Joint Land Attack Cruise Missile Defense Elevated Netted Sensor (JLENS) into the FTS kill chain as an elevated sensor and conduct a joint demonstration of that capability when the Navy systems are mature. 9999 The AN/SPS-49 Radar received a Congressional Add in 2009. AN/SPS-49(V) radar system has become a Dimishing Manufacturing Source (DMS) issue with more than 17 Lowest Replaceable Units (LRU's) that are UTP (Unable To Procure). The AN/SPS-49(V) radar system is the Navy's primary two-dimensional (2D) long-range search radar. AN/SPS-49(V) radar systems are installed in CG, CVN, FFG, LSD, LHD classes and are planned for installation in the LHA(R) ship class. The AN/SPS-49 is scheduled to be in service another 40 years. The FY09 Congressional Add enables continued support of the SPS-49 current fielded systems in the interim period before the Radar Common Signal Data Processor is fielded. This addresses the obsolescence and DMS issues associated with the many Automated Test Equipment platforms utilized to repair the radar components and facilitates the development and implementation of an interim test and repair strategy for the current radar platforms.
