Ship Self Def (Engage: Soft Kill/EW)
Abstract
0954 - The Surface Electronic Warfare Improvement Program (SEWIP) is segmented into Block 1A, Block 1B, Block 2, Block 3, Block 4 and Soft Kill Coordination System (SKCS). Block 1A upgraded the AN/SLQ-32 pulse-processing computers and the display consoles allowing the system to more quickly identify threats and better display the information to the operator. Block 1B added adjunct sensors for special signal intercept, including Specific Emitter Identification (SEI), and High Gain High Sensitivity (HGHS) (Block 1B3), a critical improvement for the threat correlation, situational awareness, and extending the battle space. Block 2 enhanced Surface Electronic Warfare (EW) and provided improved Anti-Ship Missile Defense (ASMD) and Situational Awareness (SA) through an improved Electronic Support (ES) receiver, antenna, and combat system interface. The addition of Block 2 to Block 1B3 forms the AN/SLQ-32 (V)6. Block 3 will provide an enhanced Electronic Attack (EA) capability to improve ASMD and counter-targeting. The addition of Block 3 to AN/SLQ-32 (V)6 forms the AN/SLQ-32(V)7 system. SEWIP Block 4 provides improved ASMD and SA through Electro-Optical(EO)/Infrared (IR) to ES and EA countermeasures. EW Rapid Capability Insertion Process (RCIP) identifies system and mission capability gaps by analyzing EW baseline and fleet requirements, prioritizes those gaps based on fleet input and critical technology maturity, and develops upgrades to the AN/SLQ-32(V) product line to address those gaps. The SKCS will provide SK weapon coordination and enhanced situational awareness to the AN/SLQ-32 (V)6 with EW/radar track association to support SK engagement decisions, including Radar Cued Engagements (RCE) and EA with both onboard EA, provided by AN/SLQ-32 (V)7, and off-board EA. RCIP also integrates Future Naval Capability (FNC) programs into SEWIP. 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. Increased funding beginning in FY 2020 is required to support Decoy Launch Processor (DLP) technology refresh to address hardware obsolescence and support top side design, RCS analysis, the development of new tactics and fly-out tables for new ship class. 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. In FY 2012, the program began with a Rapid Response Effort (RRE) which was completed in FY 2014. The RRE consisted of the evaluation and integration of commercially available decoys. The Decoy Development Effort (DDE) consists of the development and evaluation of a long duration, active electronic offboard decoy system (payload) integrated on an existing flight vehicle (MH-60R/MH-60S), integration with ship and air systems, and a government software development effort to integrate AOEW into the Soft Kill Coordination System (SKCS) to gain maximum effectiveness from the decoy through coordination with an onboard system. The DDE Preliminary Design contract was awarded Dec 2016 followed by a System Requirements Review (SRR)/System Functional Review (SFR) leading to a Preliminary Development Review (PDR) all in FY17. The Engineering Manufacturing and Development (EMD) Option was awarded in Sep 2017. Following the arrival of Engineering Development Model (EDMs) the Factory Qualification Test (FQT) will be completed to support development testing and NAVAIR flight certification. Initial Operational Test & Evaluation (IOT&E) is planned in FY 2022 to support the Full Rate Production (FRP) decision in FY 2022. Due largely to program funding reductions in FY 2017 and FY 2018, the program schedule for DDE testing and MH-60R/S flight certification has been revised. Completion of developmental and operational testing has been delayed from FY 2019 to FY 2020 and FY 2021 to FY 2022, respectively. 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 will provide the AN/SLQ-32(V)7 system for all surface ships (CVN, 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 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 EA transmitter, array, and associated EA techniques. The AN/SLQ-32(V)7 integrates the new EA countermeasure (SEWIP Block 3) with the AN/SLQ-32(V)6. The AN/SLQ-32(V)6 includes an Electronic Support(ES) receiver (SEWIP Block 2), a High Gain High Sensitivity (HGHS) receiver (SEWIP Block 1B3), a Specific Emitter Identifier (SEI) receiver (SEWIP Block 1B2), display console, and backend electronics. SEWIP Block 3 includes a government software development and integration effort for a SoftKill Coordinator (SKC) to manage EA engagements. SEWIP Block 3 is developing an Electronic Warfare Test Bed (EWTB) to validate system performance. 3430 - SEWIP Block 4 will provide an Electro-optic/Infrared (EO/IR), Electronic Support (ES) and Electronic Attack (EA) capability required for US Navy ships to keep pace with the threat. SEWIP Block 4 will provide a common EO/IR surveillance and countermeasure capability to all surface combatants and non-combatants outfitted with SEWIP variants AN/SLQ-32(V)6 and (V)7 as well as select new construction platforms.
