Ship Self Def (Detect & Cntrl)

Abstract

A. Mission Description and Budget Item Justification The FY 2022 funding request was reduced by $11.724 million to account for the availability of prior year execution balances. This program element provides Aircraft Carriers and Amphibious Class ships Ship Self Defense System (SSDS) MK 2 Combat System upgrades and integrates new equipment and systems to pace the threat and capture advances in technology. Examples of captured advanced technologies are: advanced information assurance and cyber defense; Fire Control Loop Improvement Project (FCLIP); Identification Friend or Foe (IFF) Mode 5 to include Far-Term Interoperability Improvement Project (FTIIP); and other command and control systems, advanced sensors, and weapon integration, all of which require corresponding SSDS MK 2 changes. The program element also includes the SSDS integrated Combat System project for embedded shipboard training, Common Aviation Command and Control System Afloat (CAC2S Afloat) integration, Naval Strike Missile (NSM) integration for LPD class ships, and the Non-Lethal weapons project in support of anti- terrorism/force protection missions. QRCC project (PU 2178) - implements an evolutionary acquisition of improved ship self-defense capabilities against Anti-Ship Cruise Missiles (ASCMs) and improved multi-warfare capabilities for Aircraft carriers and Amphibious Class ships. SSDS MK 2 integrates a diverse set of fire control loop sensors and weapons (SPY-6(V)2, SPY-6(V)3, SLQ-32(V)6 SEWIP, RAM Block 2A/2B, ESSM Block 2, CIWS) and C4I systems (CANES) for each ship class (CVN68/78, LHA6, LHD1, LPD17, and LSD 41/49). SSDS MK 2 provides combat direction, and joint interoperability via the Cooperative Engagement Capability (CEC) Increment 1 and 2 and Tactical Digital Information Link (TADIL)-J/Link 16. System design emphasizes commonality and a single source software library that are major mechanisms for cost control and avoidances. SSDS uses a physically distributed, open system architecture computer network consisting of common hardware such as the Common Processor System (CPS) and the Common Display System (CDS). SSDS MK 2 integrates new combat system war-fighting capabilities and improvements, as well as DoD and Navy-mandated enhanced cybersecurity capabilities via incremental capability packages and computing infrastructure (previously Technology Insertion (TI)) improvement deliveries. PU 2178 efforts are divided into two major functional areas: SSDS Product Development/Combat Systems Integration, and Test and Evaluation/Certification. Joint Non-Lethal Weapons (PU 3172) - provides a long range laser warning and dazzle system, maritime vessel stopper (MVS) system, and combined effects (light, laser, and sound) system for use in the maritime environment. Optical warning and distraction has been identified by the services as a possible technology solution to mitigate and/or address several known joint nonlethal capability gaps. Visual Augmentation Systems (VAS) supports research, development, and testing of material solutions for VAS capability gaps encountered during missions in combat zones. Expeditionary force lacks the ability to detect and recognize potential threat craft at the maximum possible range and at the earliest time in all-weather environments during day and night. In addition, the warfighter needs the ability to record both audio/video encounters and incidents for after action reporting SSDS Training Improvement Program (PU 3358) - provides enhancements and upgrades to the SSDS Total Ship Training Capability (TSTC) components within the combat system, combat system elements, Battle-Force Tactical Training (BFTT), and Advanced Training Domain (ATD), to address needs for increased training capability and functionality in conjunction with SSDS MK 2 capability improvements, IFF Mode 5 (to include FTIIP), Task Force Cyber Awakening (TFCA) Boundary Defense Capability (BDC), and Technical Insertion efforts under PU 2178 (QRCC). These enhancements will address current and future training requirements by implementing new functionality to enable the individual warfighter, through distributed battle group events, to engage in more complex training scenarios to support fleet required training certification events. Capability Development and integration are related to Self Defense, Underwater, Surface, and other warfare areas. Capability enhancements and upgrades include development of re-useable common components that can be leveraged by other combat systems, and/or integration of re-usable common components developed by the TSTC/BFTT Program and AEGIS Advanced Training Domain (ATD)/Total Ship Training Capability (TSTC) projects to meet AEGIS combat system training requirements. TSTC continues to integrate and update, as new tactical capabilities are being introduced, to enable crew operator proficiency training for basic and sustainment level training events, through distributed strike group certification, fleet synthetic training (FST) events, and including COMPTUEX FST at sea integration into a Live, Virtual and Constructive (LVC) environment. Continued development is required to integrate new capabilities and interfaces to provide training for SSDS combat system capability upgrades, and to address the Fleet's LVC Fleet Training Wholeness initiative. Additionally, modernization is needed to support the DoD Training Transformation Plan, the Chief of Naval Operations Fleet Response Plan and Commander United States Fleet Forces Command Fleet Readiness Training Plan.

• Change Summary Explanation: FUNDING CHANGES SINCE THE PREVIOUS PRESIDENT'S BUDGET AT THE OVERALL PE LEVEL: - FY 2020 net decrease of $-9.251 reflects program adjustments as follows: $-2.300 to Project 2178 for higher priority department requirements; $-6.951 for the Small Business Innovative Research (SBIR) transfer. - FY 2021 net decrease of $-3.958M reflects program adjustments as follows: $-0.707 for the application of a fair-share Congressional undistributed reduction; $+1.144M to Project 3172 for OCO request; $-4.395 Historical Underexecution. - FY 2022 net decrease of $-15.558M reflects adjustments as follows: $-1.167M to Project 3172 reflects movement of VAS from 0604755N/3172 to 0604230N/3445; $-11.724M to account for the availability of prior year execution balances; $-0.750M for Navy Working Capital Fund (NWCF) and $-1.917M for miscellaneous rate adjustments. The FY 2022 PU 3358 increase of $$3.391M provides for developing the capability that will provide SSDS ships the ability to train using Live-Virtual-Constructive (LVC). Specifically, developing requirements documentation and developing modifications to provide the necessary sensor improvements to support LVC training At-Sea. Additionally, developing an Integrated Strike Group CEC Training At-Sea capability in support of the Fleet Training Wholeness (FTW) through LVC. PU 2178 Program Schedule R4 changes: The Program Office over the last year has been refining Program efforts and timelines. The budget has been restructured to reflect this refinement effort to accurately describe/reflect the program efforts. This includes the R4 schedule to clearly reflect the program schedule. Starting in FY22, these refinements and schedule reporting have been implemented. The majority of the FY21 to FY22 changes are directly attributable to this refinement effort.
