Navigation/Id System

Abstract

Reliable and secure navigation and positive identification (ID) systems are essential elements of battle management in the naval environment. The Photonics Imaging System (0253) is a non-hull penetrating replacement for existing optical periscopes. The Photonics Imaging System exploits a wide portion of the electro-magnetic spectrum utilizing advanced Electro-Optic/thermal imaging, and communications intercept/Electronic Warfare Support (ES). The Integrated Submarine Imaging System (ISIS) (0253) is a back fit system to integrate all imaging capabilities on existing submarine classes. The Combat Identification System (CIS) project (1253) for Mark XIIA, and Improved Identification Development (0676) for AN/UPX-29(V), covers the Mark XIIA Mode 5 upgrade to the existing Mark XII family of systems that is Joint and North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) interoperable. Per OSD direction, NATO participation is encouraged and performance data is exchanged to ensure the opportunity for interoperability with allied identification systems is maximized. In addition to distinguishing friend from foe for weapons employment, the Navy requires secure, jam resistant Identification Friend or Foe (IFF) systems for battle group air defense management and air traffic control. Identification is multifaceted and includes information received from several sensors (both cooperative and non-cooperative systems). NAVSTAR Global Positioning System (GPS) project (0921) is a space-based positioning, navigation and timing (PNT) system that provides authorized users with secure, worldwide, all weather, three dimensional position, velocity and precise time data. Navigation Sensor System Interface (NAVSSI) is a system that provides an integrated navigation message structure for network distribution to support combat, command and control, information and other mission critical capabilities. Navy Air and Sea Navigation Warfare (NAVWAR) are major elements of the GPS program. NAVWAR's mission is to provide continued access to GPS information in a denied environment. NAVWAR accomplishes this through the use of enhanced user equipment (UE). GPS modernization addresses the Navy's future integration of GPS Joint Program Office (JPO) Modernized User Equipment (MUE) products being developed that will enable the use of new signals in space. The GPS - based Positioning, Navigation, and Timing (PNT) Service (GPNTS) system is being developed to replace stand-alone AN/WRN-6 receivers and integrated NAVSSI systems. Additionally, future capability will migrate toward a Common Computing Environment (CCE) such as Consolidated Afloat Networks Enterprise Services (CANES), and provide a path for the integration of advanced navigation systems and sensors. NAVSTAR GPS supports Anti-Access/Area Denial (A2AD) by providing Assured Positioning, Navigation and Timing (A-PNT) capability to C4ISR and combat systems in standalone and networked architectures throughout the air and maritime domains. JUSTIFICATION FOR BUDGET ACTIVITY: This program is funded under System Development and Demonstration because it includes those projects that have passed Milestone B approval and are conducting engineering and manufacturing development tasks aimed at meeting validated requirement prior to full-rate production decision.
