Submarine Tactical Warfare System

Abstract

The AN/BYG-1 is the combat control system common across all submarine platforms which incorporates tactical control, weapon/payload control and Tactical Local Area Network (TacLAN) functions into a single procurement program. AN/BYG-1 allows the submarine to rapidly update the ship-safety tactical picture, integrates the common tactical picture into the battlegroup, improves torpedo interfaces, and provides tactical TOMAHAWK and Harpoon capability. AN/BYG-1 systems will be continuously updated with hardware enhancements to address Commercial Off The Shelf (COTS) obsolescence, and provide capability improvements through software upgrades. Hardware updates are referred to as Tech Insertion (TI) kits and are differentiated by year of development (i.e. TI-18, TI-20, TI-22, TI-24, etc.). The TI upgrades provide the baseline for all future AN/BYG-1 procurements. AN/BYG-1 is part of the Submarine Warfare Federated Tactical Systems (SWFTS), a family of interdependent systems that conduct cooperative system development and installations. Project Unit 0236: This program develops Commercial-Off-The-Shelf (COTS) based software and hardware upgrades for AN/BYG-1, the Multi-tube Weapons Simulator (MTWS), and the Common Weapon Launcher (CWL) in order to integrate improved tactical and payload control capabilities for all submarine classes. This program also develops new payload capabilities for the Submarine Launched Unmanned Aerial System (SLUAS). Beginning in FY22, the Navy is pursuing a transformation across the Submarine Warfare Federated Tactical Systems (SWFTS) (PE 0604503N Project 0219, PE 0604562N Project 0236, PE 0604777N Project 0253 and PE 0604503N Project 0775) to maximize SWFTS cyber-resiliency and the speed of capability delivery. The transformation will be accomplished through a transition to Agile development processes comprised of a continuous series of 12-week software program increments in a DevSecOps environment. This process will better align with industry practice and enable the SWFTS systems to leverage industry capability improvements in AI/ML and other emerging technologies, while also being more responsive to cyber needs. The transformation is aligned to the requirements contained in the AN/BYG-1 Capability Development Document, and to the requirements contained in the OPNAV requirement ltr 9010, Ser N97/19U141554 of 22 May 2019. SLUAS incorporates unmanned aerial vehicles, vehicle encapsulating canisters, vehicle command and control capabilities, and vehicle stowage into submarines. SLUAS extends the sensor range of the submarine, serving as a key enabler of Over-The-Horizon (OTH) weapons employment. Provides funding for the development of the Common Weapon Launcher; Legacy Launchers; Multi-tube Weapons Simulator (MTWS); Information Assurance system; Onboard Team Trainer (OBTT); Command, Control, Computer and Intelligence Maintenance Tool (C3IMT); and Common Infrastructure Services (CIS) subsystem. This includes integration of Onboard Team Trainer - Master Controller (OBTT - MC) & Command, Control, Computer and Intelligence Maintenance Tool/Inter-Subsystem Monitoring Tool (ISMT) efforts as well as other common services within Submarine Warfare Federated Tactical System (SWFTS). FY22 provides funding to finalize development of TI-20 which added two new system baselines in support of VA BLK IV Virginia Payload Module (VPM) and the COLUMBIA Class (CLB). FY22 also provides funding for development of TI-22. Cybersecurity efforts continue to grow due to increasing interconnection complexity, more IP based traffic in future baselines, and development of Cyber Safe Controls. Integration efforts for additional submarine payloads including Contender, Maritime Strike Tomahawk (MST), Next Generation Countermeasure, Anti-Torpedo Torpedo Compact Rapid Attack Weapons program (ATT CRAW) continue in FY22. FY22 also continues efforts to support classified payloads.
