Abstract
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/AEGIS Linear Processing System (ALPS) integration provides adjunct processing for data collection. The FY23 funding request supports development of MMSP including the commencement of technology refresh to support Aegis Modernization due to Diminishing Manufacturing Sources and Material Shortages (DMSMS) and obsolescence issues. MMSP-Restoration (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. Additionally, funding is required for technology development to support integration of ALPS into MMSP-R, continuation of MMSP-R development to support AEGIS modernization and ACB16 MMSP improvements, and MMSP-R Engineering Change Proposal (ECP)/Software updates. Shipboard Passive Electro-Optical Infrared (SPEIR) Block I will be an open architecture system that addresses near-term capability requirements and associated gaps identified in the 2019 SPEIR Capability Development Document (CDD). This program answers an urgent counter unmanned aircraft system operational need for the Fleet to provide an initial capability by FY26. The SPEIR acquisition leverages technology developed under the Office of Naval Research's (ONR's) Combined EO/IR Surveillance and Response System (CESARS) Science and Technology (S&T) effort, specifically related to the Shipboard Panoramic EO/IR Cueing and Surveillance System (SPECSS). SPEIR Block I will provide a common 360-degree EO/IR Electronic Support (ES) capability to surface ships that will passively find, fix, track, and target current / emerging threats in support of the following warfare missions: Anti-Ship Cruise Missile (ASCM) Defense, Counter-Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS), Counter-Fast Attack Craft / Fast In-shore Attack Craft (FAC/FIAC), and Mobility. SPEIR Block I will consist of a passive Wide Field of View (WFOV) capability with a 360-degree field-of-view optical sensors for autonomous detection and tracking for 24/7 day/night shipboard situational awareness. SPEIR Block I will also include an enhanced, high resolution Narrow-Medium Field of View (NFOV) and laser range-finding capability that will provide 3D target tracking, identification, and threat assessment. SPEIR Block I will have limited integration with shipboard combat systems to exchange target track data and disseminate motion imagery. This program includes risk reduction initiatives for modeling and simulation, sensor protection counter-countermeasures, Sensor Fusion Algorithms and combat system track publishing to enable limited Combat System Integration (CSI). SPEIR Block II will be a future program that will build on the modular open system architecture of Block I to address longer-term capability requirements to include an expanded spatial coverage envelope, Periscope Detection and Discrimination (PDD) and Mine Like Object (MLO) avoidance. SPEIR Block II will also provide full combat system integration and will include a government software development and integration effort for Soft-Kill Coordination System (SKCS) to manage ES engagements. The FY23 funding request supports detailed hardware and software design of the SPEIR Block I system, completion of initial software builds and associated integration effort, and limited procurement of material for Engineering Development Models (EDMs). Scope includes execution of Preliminary Design Review (PDR), continued test planning, training curriculum development and Modeling and Simulation (M&S) development and maturation. Increases from FY21 through FY24 are consistent with expected ramp up of developmental activities of a new Acquisition Category II program during the Engineering and Manufacturing Development (E&MD) phase. FY21 included partial year funding to initiate program execution and to award the E&MD contract, FY22 includes funding to execute system design and development activities, and FY23 includes funding focusing on E&MD contract execution, including one major System Engineering Technical Review (SETR) event (PDR) that will baseline system design to support same year (FY23) procurement of limited EDM materials. Additionally, FY23 will include planning, processes and procedures for system integration and development test. RDT&E costs are anticipated to ramp down starting in FY25 as Integration & Test planning is complete, EDM material procurements are completed, and all three (3) EDMs are assembled and integrated to support the execution of developmental test events prior to program transition to the Production phase. 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 to address Diminishing Manufacturing Sources and Material Shortages (DMSMS), 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, 2A 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. Incorporate Elevated Radar Advanced Calibration Experiment (ERACE) Phases 1/2 and 3 into Baseline 9. Electronic Attack (EA) and Rapid Radar Capability Improvement Program (R2CIP) develop solutions for evolving EA threats. The FY23 funding request supports the start of SLB Technology Development, continues the development efforts of SBNCTR Phase 2A, TNC phase 1 & 2, EA improvements, and dLNA Requirements and Specification Analysis, and completes SLB Requirements Analysis and Specification and Elevated Radar Advanced Calibration Experiment (ERACE) Phase 1/2. AN/SPS-49 Technology Refresh: AN/SPS-49 is the only Air Surveillance Radar on the LSD 41/49 class ships. Continued degradation and increasingly low radar availability of the AN/SPS-49 Radar is greatly impacting deployed missions, impacting safety of flight and affecting LSD Air Warfare capability and operations and as a result, AN/SPS-49 Technology Refresh is required. This AN/SPS-49 Technology Refresh will include Reliability, Maintainability, and Availability (RM&A) improvements and solid state technology insertions which will reduce cascading failures and mitigate obsolescence issues. In addition, this effort replaces key components to include: transmitter, receiver, exciter, antenna elevation servo control, radar system control, display and signal data processor (SDP). A digital receiver/exciter (DREX) with high-performance computing technology will be a key component in the new system. The current SPS-49 radar has no software so new software is being developed to mimic the current radar functions to maintain compatibility with internal and external interfaces. This effort will improve SPS-49 electronic protection, have increased surveillance range and increased slow moving small target detection, as well as reduce total ownership cost with lower unit cost and smaller size/weight/power requirements. Funding is also to complete development, test and evaluation, validation and integration of a technology refresh of the below deck hardware for the AN/ SPS-49A(V)1 Long Range Air Surveillance Radar. FY22 is the last year of funding for this program. Funding will complete test and evaluation, and validation on a prototype radar for the technology refresh of the below deck hardware for the AN/SPS-49A(V)1 Long Range Air Surveillance Radar. In addition, FY22 funds will be used to complete subsystem integration scheduled for early FY23.
