Ship Self Def (Engage: Soft Kill/EW)

Abstract

0954 - The Surface Electronic Warfare Improvement Program (SEWIP) provides enhanced Electronic Warfare (EW) capabilities to existing and new ship combat systems to improve Anti Ship Missile Defense (ASMD), counter-targeting and counter-surveillance capabilities, as well as improved battlefield situational awareness. The SEWIP employs an evolutionary acquisition and incremental development strategy to upgrade surface EW capabilities via a series of block upgrades to the AN/SLQ-32(V) system, and field EW improvements to keep pace with the ASMD threat. 2190 - The Offboard Active Decoy (NULKA) is a joint cooperative program between the United States and Australia that developed an active offboard decoy that utilizes a broadband radio frequency repeater mounted atop a hovering rocket. NULKA is designed to counter a wide variety of present and future radar guided Anti-Ship Missiles (ASMs) by radiating a large radar cross section while flying a ship-like trajectory. The United States developed the electronic payload and fire control system, while Australia developed the hovering rocket. 3227 - SEWIP Block 2 is a separate program to develop an upgraded antenna, receiver, and combat system interface for SLQ-32. The upgrades are necessary in order to pace the threat, improving detection, accuracy, and mitigation of Electromagnetic Interference (EMI). 3316 - The Advanced Offboard EW is a long duration, offboard decoy utilizing one of a family of payload types in support of countering identified EW gaps (additional details classified). Development will include the vehicle shipboard control and integration with ship systems and sensors. 3321 - SEWIP Block 3 is a separate program that will provide an updated Electronic Attack (EA) capability to the SLQ-32(V) Electronic Warfare (EW) suite. The program will provide a new integrated EA transmitter, array, and associated techniques to enhance surface EW capability for legacy and new ship combat systems.
