SSN-688 & Trident Modernization

Abstract

The FY 2021 funding request was reduced by $0.400 million to account for the availability of prior year execution balances. SSN-688 & Trident Modernization delivers block updates to Submarine Sonar systems, provides improved secure voice and data communications capabilities, develops improved Submarine Electronic Warfare (EW) systems, and provides a fully integrated and tested Common Submarine Radio Room (CSRR). These development activities ensure all Submarine Classes maintain clear acoustical, tactical, and operational superiority over Submarines and Surface Combatants in Joint Littoral Warfare, Joint Intelligence Surveillance Reconnaissance (ISR), Indications and Warnings, Information Operations including Cyber, and Special Operations Force (SOF) support. Current developments are focused on supporting Joint Littoral Warfare, Regional Sea Denial, Strike Group Support, Diesel Submarine Detection, Joint Surveillance and Peacetime Engagement, Space and Electronic Warfare, Intelligence Collection, Maritime Protection, and Joint Strike. FY 2021 funding request reflects a net increase of $14.472 million from FY 2020 to FY 2021. The increase is associated with efforts to fully test new in-board capabilities associated with the fielding of Large Vertical Array (LVA); transition of A-RCI to the Development, Cyber Security, and Operations (DevSecOps) software development model; increased focus on machine learning, automation, and behavioral analysis; and an emergent requirement to develop the PATRIOT Phase C RADAR.
