Abstract

NOTE: The FY 2021 funding request was reduced (since the previous President's Budget submit) by $1.000 million to account for the availability of prior year execution balances under Project 3439. This Program Element (PE) addresses the development and integration of new and improved technologies into the Anti-Submarine Warfare (ASW) and Theater Undersea Warfare (TUSW) Command & Control (C2) systems supporting the warfighter. The FY 2020 ($16.094M) to FY 2021 ($12.718M) net decrease ($-3.376M) in this PE is due to the following changes at the Project level: 1) Project 3094 - Increase of $+1.731M to account for the increase in the scope of work in Undersea Warfare Decision Support System (USW-DSS) Build 3 Fleet Capability Request-2 (FCR-2) in FY 2021, driven by planned interface changes required for USW-DSS to remain interoperable with the latest AN/SQQ-89(V) Surface ASW Combat System and Consolidated Afloat Networks and Enterprise Services (CANES) configurations, as well as additional system re-architecture effort involved with the implementation of Chief of Naval Operations (CNO) direction, starting in FY 2021, to transition USW-DSS FCRs to a more agile Compile to Combat in 24 Hours (C2C24) software development process; and 2) Project 3439 - Decrease of ($-5.107M) to account for planned reduced program requirements and associated reduced planned systems engineering scope in FY 2021. PROJECT 3094: Undersea Warfare Decision Support System (USW-DSS) is the Navy Program of Record ASW C2 Net-Centric system supporting the warfighter. In FY 2021, USW-DSS will continue to develop and test the software changes and perform the certification testing necessary to address end of life (EOL) support issues impacting USW-DSS Build 3 as well as address emerging mandated cybersecurity requirements. Additionally in FY 2021, funding will be used to develop, design, integrate, and test additional USW-DSS tools/capabilities for Build 3 including, but not limited to: Common Tactical Picture (CTP), Platform Data Fusion Integration, Cross-Platform Data Fusion, Automated Asset Allocation, Asset/Threat State Information, Vulnerability Analysis enhancement, ASW Track Management, Automated Re-planning, Engagement Target Pairing, improved TASW capabilities, Data-Focused Navy Tactical Cloud Integration, and incorporating the electronic Master Tactical Plot (eMTP) visualization/display service on which to render the CTP/Common Operational Picture (COP). These improvements address requirements from the Commander U.S. Fleet Forces endorsement of "Theater ASW Capability Requirements" letter (dated 24 February 2017). As a result of the Chief of Naval Operations (CNO) direction to implement a Compile to Combat in 24 Hours (C2C24) software development process, USW-DSS Build 3 FCR-2 and FCR-3 schedules have been revised to reflect required system re-architecture efforts, which necessitated shifting of the Design, Development, Integration/Test, and Certification Test phases. PROJECT 3439: The Networked Architecture for Undersea Theater Integrated C2 Advantage (NAUTICA) Project provides Theater Anti-Submarine Warfare (TASW) architecture development, systems engineering, and design. FY 2021 continues the system engineering effort required to design, develop and deliver an integrated TASW battle management suite in accordance with the 2007 Anti-Submarine Warfare (ASW) Initial Capabilities Document (ICD). The plan prioritizes NAUTICA investments in accordance with the Commander U.S. Fleet Forces endorsement of "Theater ASW Capability Requirements" letter (dated 24 February 2017) and Center for Security Forces (CSF) letter "Criticality of Sustaining PMI and WSM Capability and Meeting Emerging Requirements for Great Competition" submitted to OPNAV N2N6. The design of the integrated TASW battle management suite will include a system of systems TASW architecture to enable the existing programs of record under development from the Program Executive Offices (PEOs) for Integrated Warfare Systems (IWS), PEO Command, Controls, Communications, Computers and intelligence (C4I), PEO AIR, PEO SUB, and N9SP to exploit a common framework. The common architecture will define the key data exchanges, common displays and processing, data models, cross domain interfaces, and multi-level security software that will enable systems such as USW-DSS and the Distributed Common Ground System - Navy (DCGS-N) to exchange, display, and exploit information at the appropriate classifications. NAUTICA TASW Phase II and III schedules have been updated to reflect the System of Systems (SoS) design process by removing the previously separate Design Specifications, Development, Rapid Prototyping, and Integration/Test phases and incorporating those efforts into a singular Systems Engineering phase.

• Change Summary Explanation: FUNDING CHANGES SINCE PREVIOUS PRESIDENT'S BUDGET AT THE OVERALL PE LEVEL: - FY 2019 decrease of $-0.637M due to Small Business Innovative Research (SBIR) transfer. - FY 2021 decrease of $-0.919M due to accounting for the availability of prior year execution balances ($-1.000M) under Project 3439 and general and Navy Working Capital Fund (NWCF) specific rate adjustments ($+0.081M) against Projects 3094 and 3439. PROJECT 3094 - FY 2020 TO FY 2021 BUDGET REQUEST INCREASE: - FY 2020 ($8.594M) to FY 2021 ($10.325M) increase ($+1.731M) accounts for the increase in the scope of work in Undersea Warfare Decision Support System (USW-DSS) Build 3 Fleet Capability Request-2 (FCR-2) in FY 2021, driven by planned interface changes required for USW-DSS to remain interoperable with the latest AN/SQQ-89(V) Surface ASW Combat System and Consolidated Afloat Networks and Enterprise Services (CANES) configurations, as well as additional system re-architecture effort involved with the implementation of Chief of Naval Operations (CNO) direction, starting in FY 2021, to transition USW-DSS FCRs to a more agile Compile to Combat in 24 Hours (C2C24) software development process. PROJECT 3094 - SCHEDULE CHANGES SINCE PREVIOUS PRESIDENT'S BUDGET: As a result of CNO direction to implement/transition USW-DSS FCRs to a more agile C2C24 software development process, USW-DSS Build 3 FCR-2 and FCR-3 schedules have been revised to reflect additional required system re-architecture efforts, which necessitated the shifting of the Design, Development, Integration/Test, and Certification Test phases. USW-DSS Build 3 FCR-2: - Completion of Development phase extended from 3Q21 to 2Q22. - Integration/Test phase shifted from 1Q21-2Q22 to 4Q21-1Q23. - Certification Test phase shifted from 2Q22-4Q22 to 1Q23-3Q23. USW-DSS Build 3 FCR-3: - Design phase shifted from 4Q21-3Q22 to 3Q22-2Q23. - Development phase shifted from 3Q22-4Q23 to 2Q23-3Q24. - Initiation of Integration/Test phase shifted from 4Q23 to 3Q24. PROJECT 3439 - FY 2020 TO FY 2021 BUDGET REQUEST DECREASE: - FY 2020 ($7.500M) to FY 2021 ($2.393M) decrease ($-5.107M) reflects the completion of NAUTICA Phase I Model Based System Engineering in FY 2020 and planned reduced program requirements and associated reduced planned systems engineering scope in FY 2021. PROJECT 3439 - SCHEDULE CHANGES SINCE PREVIOUS PRESIDENT'S BUDGET: NAUTICA TASW Phase II and III schedules have been updated to reflect the System of Systems (SoS) design process by removing the previously separate Design Specifications, Development, Rapid Prototyping, and Integration/Test phases and incorporating those efforts into a singular Systems Engineering phase. NAUTICA TASW Phase II High Side Sensor Fusion: - Completion of System Engineering phase extended from 1Q22 to 3Q22 (to reflect inclusion of Design Specifications, Rapid Prototyping, and Integration/Test phases). - Removed Design Specifications, Rapid Prototyping, and Integration/Test phases (now included within the singular System Engineering phase). NAUTICA TASW Phase III TASW as a Service: - Completion of System Engineering phase extended from 1Q24 to 4Q25 (to reflect inclusion of Design Specifications, Development, Rapid Prototyping, and Integration/Test phases). - Removed Design Specifications, Development, and Rapid Prototyping phases (now included within the singular System Engineering phase).
