Air & Missile Defense Radar (AMDR) System
Abstract
The Air and Missile Defense Radar (AMDR) program consists of the AN/SPY-6(V) Family Of Radars (FoR): -AN/SPY-6(V)1 (DDG 51 Arleigh Burke class Flight III guided missile destroyer) -AN/SPY-6(V)2 (Nimitz class Carriers, America class LHA, and San Antonio class LPD) -AN/SPY-6(V)3 (Ford class Carriers, Constellation class FFG) -AN/SPY-6(V)4 (DDG 51 Arleigh Burke class Flight IIA guided missile destroyer backfit) AN/SPY-6(V)1 will provide multi-mission capabilities, simultaneously supporting both long range, exoatmospheric detection, tracking and discrimination of ballistic missiles, as well as Area and Self Defense against air and surface threats. For the Ballistic Missile Defense (BMD) capability, increased radar sensitivity and bandwidth over current radar systems are needed to detect, track and support engagements of advanced ballistic missile threats at the required ranges, concurrent with Area and Self Defense against Air and Surface threats. For the Area Air Defense and Self Defense capability, increased sensitivity and clutter capabilities are needed to detect, react to, and engage stressing Very Low Observable/Very Low Flyer (VLO/VLF) threats in the presence of heavy land, sea, and rain clutter. This effort provides for the development of an active phased array radar with the required capabilities to address the evolving threat. The AN/SPY-6(V) FoR will obtain performance and technology enhancements throughout their service life based upon an approach that includes modularity of hardware and software, a scalable design and Open Architecture (OA). AN/SPY-6(V)2 and (V)3 (Enterprise Air Surveillance Radar (EASR) will provide multi-mission capabilities, simultaneously supporting Air Traffic Control (ATC), situational awareness, and ship self-defense against Air and Surface threats. For these missions, increased clutter capability, short-range detection and tracking, and special weather waveforms are needed. AN/SPY-6(V)3 is the primary air surveillance radar supporting ship self-defense, situational awareness and Air Traffic Control (ATC) for Ford class Carriers. For other ship classes, AN/SPY-6(V)2 is the primary radar for self-defense and situational awareness with the ancillary role of supporting ATC by resolving SPN-50 mast blockage for ATC. AN/SPY-6(V)4 will provide Active Electronically-Steered Array (AESA) and digital beamforming technology for backfit to Flight IIA DDG. Backfit of SPY-6 technology on DDG 51 FLT IIA commences with non-recurring engineering efforts to scale the radar hardware and software; perform modeling and simulation to update the Continuity of Operations (CONOPS), and; enable SPY-6 IAMD performance capabilities on FLT IIA DDGs. Advanced Distributed Radar (ADR) is a software enhancement that will enable multi-ship cooperative radar operations in order to support Distributed Maritime Operations (DMO) for the SPY-6 FoR. ADR initial capabilities transition Receive Only Cooperative Radar and Networked Cooperative Radar (NCR) software capabilities from Office of Naval Research to tactical development, implementation and testing. ADR software enhancements will increase radar detection performance for Integrated Air and Missile Defense capabilities and enable operations with radars in receive-only mode in cooperation with other AN/SPY-6(V) radars. The FY23 funding request supports the following efforts: SPY-6(V)1 integration efforts and associated development to support AEGIS Baseline 10 integration, advanced radar capability testing at the Advanced Radar Development Evaluation Laboratory (ARDEL), and integration with the AEGIS Virtual Test Environment (VTE). Integration efforts and associated development for AN/SPY-6(V)2 and (V)3 (Enterprise Air Surveillance Radar (EASR)) to integrate with Ship Self Defense System (SSDS) Baseline 12 and meet the performance requirements contained in the Battlespace Awareness ICD. This includes continued testing at the Land Based Test Site and integration efforts with the SYY-1 Air Traffic Control System and Cooperative Engagement Capability. AN/SPY-6(V)4 FLT IIA backfit efforts will continue with ship integration studies (power, cooling, arrangements), refinement of radar prime power design, continue development of Interface Control Documents (ICDs), continue systems engineering activities to include system-level requirements development, modeling and simulation in support of requirements development, and requirements flow-down to align with FLT IIA requirements. ADR efforts will commence combat system integration and continue with system engineering activities including system-level requirements development, modeling and simulation activities in support of requirements development, and support technology transition activities.

- Change Summary Explanation
- The FY 2023 funding request was reduced by $5.700 million to account for the availability of prior year execution balances. FY 2021: Decrease of $2.095M is due to SBIR and cancelled accounts reductions. FY 2022: Decrease of $9.192M is due to $9.036M reduction for Engineering changes/capability enhancements and backfit delays and $0.156M for an FFRDC reduction. --- FY 2023 funding increase reflects the fact that the FY 2022 President’s Budget request did not include out-year funding.
