Ship Self Def (Detect & Cntrl)

Abstract

This program element consolidates currently ongoing and planned programmatic efforts related to Detect & Control aspects of Ship Self Defense (SSD) to facilitate effective planning and management of these efforts and to exploit the synergistic relationship inherent in each. Analysis and demonstration have established that surface SSD based on single-sensor detection point-to-point control architecture performs marginally against current and projected Anti-Ship Cruise Missile (ASCM) threats. The supersonic seaskimming ASCM reduces the effective battle space to the horizon and the available reaction time-line to less than 30 seconds from first opportunity to detect until the ASCM impacts its target ship. Against such a threat, multi-sensor integration is required for effective detection, and parallel processing is essential to reduce reaction time to acceptable levels and to provide vital coordination/integration of hardkill and softkill assets. These SSD projects address and coordinate the detect and control functions necessary to meet the rigorous SSD requirements within a development structure dedicated to systems engineering. DETECTION: Improvements in coordinated sensor performance to increase the probability of detecting low altitude, low observable targets is to be achieved through the synergism gained from the integration of dissimilar sensor sources. Multi-sensor integration is being addressed through the efforts of Quick Reaction Combat Capability (QRCC) (2178), while sensor improvements are addressed through the SPS Improvements (0166). These provide improvements to both active and passive detection. CONTROL: Multi-sensor integration, parallel processing and the coordination of hardkill/softkill capabilities in an automated response to the ASCM threat are the cornerstones of Ship Self Defense System (SSDS) being developed through QRCC (2178) efforts. In addition, that project provides for the central system engineering management of SSD developments, including efforts required to integrate SSDS with the Advanced Combat Direction System (CDS) for those ships having a CDS. Shipboard Protection System (SPS) develops an integrated shipboard, suite of systems designed to detect, identify, and engage asymmetric surface threats. Integrated Swimmer Defense (ISD) scope is to provide the Navy Expeditionary security forces with capabilities of a portable marine integrated swimmer defense system (ISDS) to engage combat swimmers/divers or unknown individuals underwater once they have been detected.
