Ship Self Def (Engage: Soft Kill/EW)

Abstract

0954 - The Surface Electronic Warfare Improvement Program (SEWIP) Block 1 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 situational awareness. The SEWIP Block 1 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 counter the ASMD threat. SEWIP Block 1 will provide required EW capabilities and will incorporate technology advances as they become available to provide incremental upgrades and improvements in performance. The growth between FY 2016 and FY 2017 is attributable to increased software development efforts required for RCIP #4 software builds. 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. Future efforts involve development of the capability for high value unit protection. 3227 - SEWIP Block 2 is developing 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 (AOEW) program is for the development of long duration off-board decoys integrated with onboard systems for EW coordination to counter identified EW gaps (additional details classified) in response to an urgent operational need from the Fleet that has been approved by the CNO for execution. Currently no counter to the threat exists. The program consists of a Rapid Response Effort (RRE) and provides an initial, limited decoy capability to the Fleet and a Decoy Development Effort (DDE) which will culminate in the delivery of a fully supported, full capability system. The RRE consists of the evaluation and integration of commercially available decoys. The DDE consists of the development and evaluation of a long duration, active electronic offboard decoy system (payload only) integrated on an existing flight vehicle and an onboard/offboard EW coordinator fully able to counter the threat. DDE Preliminary Design contract will be competed and contractor name and location will be added upon contract award in 3rd QTR FY16. The FY17 increased Product Development funding and requirements is attributable to the program entering E&MD in FY17. 3321 - SEWIP Block 3 is developing an Electronic Attack (EA) capability improvement required for the AN/SLQ-32(V) system to keep pace with the threat. SEWIP Block 3 is developing a common EA capability to all surface combatants (CVN, CG, DDG, LHD) outfitted with the active variant of the AN/SLQ-32, mainly the (V)3 and (V)4, as well as select new-construction platforms. The increase in SEWIP Block 3 Development in FY17 is due to commencement of EDM build and integration, using the material purchased in FY16, commencement of test planning for FQT and OA testing, and full hardware/software integration and testing of the EDMs. The SEWIP Block 3 Acquisition leverages technology developed under the Office of Naval Research's (ONR) Integrated Topside (InTop) Science and Technology (S&T) effort. SEWIP Block 3 will continue to expand the integrated shipboard combat system by providing a new integrated Electronic Attack (EA) transmitter, array, and associated EA techniques. The program builds on the EW Support (ES) capability delivered by SEWIP Blocks 1 and 2. SEWIP Block 3 includes a government software development effort for a SoftKill Coordinator (SKC) to manage EA engagements. SEWIP Block 3 is developing an EW testbed to validate system performance. SEWIP Block 3 developed and deployed a limited interim capability, starting in 2014, of a focused application of the Naval Research Lab (NRL) Transportable EW Module (TEWM) systems to support CNO Urgent Operational Needs (UON). Block 3T (AN/SLQ-59) is the TEWM system supporting the 7th fleet UON. TEWM Speed to Fleet (STF) (AN/SLQ-62) is the TEWM system supporting the 6th fleet UON.

Change Summary Explanation
FY 2015 funding request includes reductions as a result of SBIR/STTR transfer of $2.986 million, a reprogramming action of $6.6 million in support of a department high priority classified effort, and $0.001 million for Rate/Misc adjustments. FY 2016 funding request reflects a congressional reduction of $11.319 million as a result of execution delays. FY 2017 funding request reflect decreases of $4.930 million in order for the Department of the Navy to comply with the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2015, $10.752 million to account for the availability of prior year funds, $3.234 million for Rate/Misc adjustments. FY 2017 also reflect an increase of $0.500 million in support of Speed-to-Fleet (S2F) initiative for Transportable Electronic Warfare Module.
