Advanced Above Water Sensors
Abstract
The FY 2019 funding request was reduced by $5.25 million to account for the availability of prior year execution balances. Dual Band Radar (DBR) Upgrades: Funding is for Dual Band Radar (DBR) System upgrades to implement cost savings initiatives for Volume Search Radar (VSR) modifications, supportability analysis and associated logistics product updates; future upgrades/technology insertion efforts for Multi-Function Radar (MFR)/VSR as a part of the DBR suite on CVN 78 and the MFR on DDG 1000 Class ships. Funding is also required to resolve the hardware and software issues discovered during the various test events to include: DTB2-411, Self Defense Test Ship (SDTS) testing, Land Based Testing and pertinent At-Sea test events. The upgrades will include all aspects of the radar system/subsystems, including hardware and software. Specific subsystem areas include the Array, Transmit/Receive (T/R) module, Receiver/Exciter, Signal Data Processor, Radome, and power/cooling systems. Upgrades and technology insertions are required to maintain the level of force protection needed for ship defense against all threats envisioned in the littoral environment. The supportability analysis and logistic products associated with these upgrades will also be developed and updated. DBR CVN 78 Testing and Certification: FY17-FY18 requirement supports DBR At-Sea Test and Evaluation (T&E), Environmental Testing and DBR Systems Certification for CVN 78. FY2018 is the final year of RDT&E funding for this program. Multi-Mission Signal Processor (MMSP): The development of MMSP provides simultaneous Anti-Air Warfare (AAW)/Ballistic Missile Defense (BMD) multi-mission capability for DDG 51 class ships as part of the Aegis Modernization Program. This capability is utilized for DDG 113 and follow new construction and Aegis Ashore. Modifies SPY-1D transmitters to enable dual beam for reduced frame times and better reaction time, provides stability for all D(V) waveforms, and avoids operational degradation. The SPY-1 radar system detects, tracks, and supports engagements of a broader range of threats. MMSP improves performance in littoral, ducted clutter, electronic attack (EA), and chaff environments and provides greater commonality in computer programs and equipment. This effort also provides for the development of MMSP on Destroyers Commercial Off The Shelf (COTS) refresh and MMSP technology refresh. MMSP development includes the commencement of technology refresh to support Aegis Modernization due to Diminishing Manufacturing Sources and Material Shortages (DMSMS) and obsolescence issues. MMSP technology refresh, including MMSP-Refresh (MMSP-R), began in FY16. MMSP-R includes software updates required on new computer platforms. Engineering efforts will be required to assess alternate technologies and determine optimal MMSP architectural solutions, which will include system security requirements. FY18 concludes MMSP on Destroyers COTS Refresh (ECPs), includes support for MMSP-R radar Integration & Test (I&T) and Advanced Capability Build 16 (ACB16) Phase 0 certification. Advanced Radar Technology (ART): Enterprise Air Surveillance Radar (EASR) will modify an existing radar technology to meet the air surveillance requirements for multiple ship classes. EASR will be one sensor in a suite that is designed to meet the performance needs for ship self-defense, situational awareness and air traffic control. EASR will replace the Volume Search Radar (VSR) in the CVN 78 Class Dual Band Radar system and the AN/SPS-48/49 radar systems in numerous ship classes. The AN/SPS-48 Radars are long-range, three-dimensional (3-D) radars used to search, detect and provide space-stabilized, three-coordinate (range, bearing, height) data for air intercept control and designation to a weapon system. The AN/SPS-49A(V)1 radar system is a long range, two dimensional (2-D), L-Band air surveillance radar installed on USN major combatants. The AN/SPY-4 Volume Search Radar (VSR) is an S-Band active phased array radar deployed on CVN 78 providing volume surveillance and air traffic control. EASR funding will develop a modern 3-D air search radar that addresses the latest requirements for Aviation and Amphibious Warfare Ships and closely conforms to existing combat system interfaces, as well as aligns with existing shipboard space, weight, and power limits. The architecture and acquisition strategy for EASR is intended to drive a lower recurring cost by utilizing the same core technology for both fixed-face and rotating array variants. EASR will provide for engineering of component and system level technology improvements for equipment used by in-service air search radars. Enterprise X-Band Illuminator (EXI): EXI funding will support the development of an X-band illuminator transmitter modification compatible with the EASR radar and Combat System suite for CVN and Amphibious ship classes. Improved Capabilities for SPY-1 Radar: These Reliability, Maintainability, and Availability (RM&A) improvements and solid state technology insertions are intended to reduce cascading failures, mitigate obsolescence issues, and improve reliability in support of Anti-Air Warfare (AAW) and Ballistic Missile Defense (BMD) missions while still providing AN/SPY-1 Radar Total Ownership Cost Reductions. Improvements such as Solid State Insertion will yield reductions in annual fleet maintenance costs and is a top fleet requirement as part of the AEGIS Wholeness initiative. In addition to RM&A improvements, warfighting improvements funded in this line include: Transmitter Noise Cancellation (TNC) development will include hardware/software to counter low radar cross section, low altitude threats. Side Lobe Blanking (SLB) addresses shortfalls in mixed electronic attack environment while in an Integrated Air and Missile Defense (IAMD) mode. The Ship-Based Non-Cooperative Target Recognition (SBNCTR) program phases 2 and 3 will develop algorithms to provide classification for targets. Transition of Advanced Calibration Experiment (ACE) phases 1 and 2 from Baseline 7 into Baseline 9. Electronic Attack (EA) and Rapid Radar Capability Improvement Program (R2CIP) develop solutions for evolving EA threats. FY19 includes completion of ACE Phase 1, continuation of development of ACE Phase 1, SBNCTR Phase 2, TNC, EA improvements, 10KW Amp/CFA Solid State GaN and initiation of Elevated Radar Advanced Calibration Experiment (ERACE).

- Change Summary Explanation
- FY18 to FY19 decrease: The decrease from FY18 to FY19 is primarily due to two factors: 1) FY18 is the last year of funding for DBR; and 2) EASR development and testing, including procurement of test assets, ramps down from FY18 to FY19. The FY19 funding request was reduced in Advanced Radar Technology by $2.250 million and Improved Capabilities SPY 1 Radar by $3.0 million to account for the availability of prior year execution balances.
