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 and Soft Kill Coordination System (SKCS). Block 1A upgraded the AN/SLQ-32 pulse-processing computers. Block 1B added adjunct sensors, including Specific Emitter Identification (SEI), and High Gain High Sensitivity (HGHS) (Block 1B3), a critical improvement for 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 Onboard 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. The SKCS will provide SK weapon coordination and enhanced situational awareness to the AN/SLQ-32(V)6 and (V)7 with EW/radar track association to support Softkill (SK) engagement decisions. 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. RCIP also integrates Future Naval Capability (FNC) programs into SEWIP. The FY23 budget request of $15.501M supports continued development, test and integration of SKCS with AEGIS Baseline (BL) 9 and BL 10, year three efforts for RCIP #7 which analyze and design hardware upgrades to improve signal throughput and system reliability, and completes fielding of Propagation Channel Assessment and Prediction's (PCAP) new operator tools and displays for improved situation awareness. Funding also initiates RCIP #8 to improve anti-ship missile defense capability of SLQ-32(V)6/7 when operating with other netted EW sensors and effectors. 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 counters 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. The FY23 funding request includes Decoy Launcher Processor (DLP) technology refresh to address threat studies as well as address obsolescence issues. The Objective Architecture development will continue which provides improved Nulka decoy deployment as well as Soft Kill Coordination System (SKCS) integration. 3068 - The Long Endurance Electronic Decoy (LEED) program will deliver an expendable long endurance autonomous off-board decoy Countermeasure system, comprised of a flight vehicle and Radio Frequency (RF) payload with modular capability allowing for rapid modification of the Electronic Warfare (EW) payload. LEED development executes under a middle tier rapid prototyping acquisition strategy pursuant to Section 804 of the FY16 National Defense Authorization Act. LEED will integrate with SLQ-32 and address EW gaps in response to a fleet requirement to counter Anti-Ship Missile (ASM) threats. LEED will provide the fleet with enhanced EW coordination and capability, including the ability to stretch engagement timelines and counter heterogeneous missile attacks. The overarching strategy consists of three phases comprising development and initial production: Countermeasure Prototype Development (FY22-FY24), Integrated Countermeasure Prototype Development (FY24-FY25), and Follow-On Production (FY25-FY27+). The first phase includes competitive development of operational-level Countermeasure prototypes that demonstrate and validate critical capabilities, including flight performance and RF functionality. The second phase will build on the critical technologies to develop production representative Engineering Development Models (EDMs). The third phase will procure and field initial units to the fleet, while the transition to major capability acquisition for full production and sustainment is executed. LEED will be developed alongside the Office of Naval Research (ONR) Long Endurance Airborne Platform (LEAP) Project, which began in FY21. LEED will leverage technologies developed and matured under the ONR LEAP Project. The FY23 funding request is for LEED Countermeasure prototype development and testing for the first phase of development, including final material purchases, component integration, preliminary demonstration testing, and formal Countermeasure Performance Testing, as well as initiation activities for the second phase of development for the integrated Countermeasure prototype. 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. 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. In the DDE/E&MD Contract effort, which commenced in 2017, the program is developing and integrating Engineering Development Models (EDMs) with the System of Systems (SOS) partners to include FY22 delivery of the Technical Data Package (TDP), conduct of FQT, and preparation for the program's test phase ramping up in Q4 FY22. As part of the MH-60R/S Flight Certification effort, the program is required to complete NAVAIR Avionics Operating Program (AOP) software development and Flight Certification, which are critical to support fielding of the AOEW decoy. The AOP software supports integration of the AOEW decoy with the MH-60R/S airframe and is required for successful completion of Flight Certification. AOP software development was completed in FY21. Flight Certification testing includes Ground and Flight Jettison, Flight Test for Mission Performance / Spec Compliance Flight Test, Functional Software Test, and Decoy Fit and Egress Test, which ensures operational Safety of Flight and is critical to successful decoy fielding. The FY23 budget request supports planning, execution, and analysis associated with three government-led Developmental Test events at NAS Patuxent River and NSWCDD. Additionally, NAVAIR will conduct Avionics Operating Program (AOP) MH-60R and MH-60S Software Testing necessary for AOEW Decoy and Helicopter Integration into the baseline. 3321 - SEWIP Block 3 is developing an advanced Electronic Attack (EA) capability to keep pace with the evolving Anti-Ship Missile Defense (ASMD) threat and counter targeting required for the AN/SLQ-32(V) system. 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 via modeling and simulation. The FY23 funding request for SEWIP Block 3 will focus on the conduct of Land Based Testing (LBT) and preparation for TECHEVAL and Initial Operational Test & Evaluation (IOT&E). Additionally, training curriculum development, EWTB model upgrades, and software and hardware fixes/upgrades will continue through the test phase. Additionally, development efforts to increase High Power Amplifier (HPA) efficiency to reduce required power and fuel consumption will commence.
