Submarine Tactical Warfare System

Abstract

Project Unit 0236: This program develops Commercial-Off-The-Shelf (COTS) based software and hardware upgrades to integrate improved tactical and weapons control capabilities for multiple submarine Classes (SSN-688, SSGN, SEAWOLF, SSBN and VIRGINIA (Post Shakedown Availability)). The AN/BYG-1 is the combat control system common across submarine platforms which incorporates tactical control, weapon control, and tactical Local Area Network (LAN) functions into a single development program. The hardware upgrades, Technology Insertions (TI) are developed on a biennial basis to provide improved capability and address COTS obsolescence. Funding also accommodates the biennial integration of software Advanced Processing Builds (APB) for both tactical control (APB(T)) and weapon control (APB(W)) subsystems. The tactical control integration effort incorporates the integration of other sensor (ESM, sonar, radar, etc.) inputs to provide a common operational picture and improved situational awareness in an information assurance (IA) compliant environment. The weapon control development effort provides improvements to the weapons control subsystem based on improvements to missiles and torpedoes as well as development of a modernized Weapon Control System (WCS) architecture to support various payloads such as, but not limited to, Modular Undersea Heavyweight Vehicle (MUHV), Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS), torpedoes, and sub launched mobile mines (SLMM). Provides funding for the development of Weapons Launch System, Multi-tube Weapons System (MTWS), Information Assurance (IA) system, Onboard Team Trainer (OBTT), and Command, Control, Computer and Intelligence Maintenance Tool (C3IMT). AN/BYG-1 allows the submarine Navy to rapidly update the ship safety tactical picture, integrate the common tactical picture into the battlegroup, improve torpedo interfaces, and provide Tactical TOMAHAWK (TOMAHAWK Block IV) capability.
