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). Navigation Satellite Timing & Ranging (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. NAVSTAR GPS provides Assured PNT (A-PNT) capability to Command, Control, Communications, Computer, Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (C4ISR) and combat systems in standalone and networked architectures throughout air and maritime domains. This project is comprised of four distinct efforts: Air and Sea Navigation Warfare (NAVWAR), GPS-based PNT Service (GPNTS), and GPS Modernization. Research, Development, Testing and Evaluation (RDT&E) funds are used to perform all the non-recurring GPS Surface Ship, Submarine and Aircraft Development, Integration, and Testing efforts in support of NAVSTAR GPS. The Air and Sea NAVWAR programs were established to provide continued access to GPS information in a denied or impeded electronic environment. Development efforts for both programs provide improvements to various platform type antennas and ensure compatibility with the new Military Code (M-Code) signal. The Air NAVWAR program continues integration efforts using GPS Antenna System (GAS-1), Advanced Digital Antenna Production (ADAP), and other anti-jam antennas on air platforms while investigating smaller anti-jam antennas for space constrained platforms and aircraft with unique requirements. The Sea NAVWAR program integrates Anti-Jam (AJ) antennas onto surface and subsurface platforms. Sea NAVWAR will continue to research the viability of smaller anti-jam antennas for space-constrained platforms and to support the Submarine Anti-Jam GPS Enhancement (SAGE) antenna development which integrates AJ capability into the submarine Multi-Function Mast (OE-538B) antenna system. The Global Positioning System (GPS)-Based Positioning, Navigation and Timing (PNT) Service (GPNTS) system is being developed to serve as the primary PNT system for the Navy to ensure reliable PNT capability and interoperability insertion into GPS receivers and associated Command, Control, Computers, Communications and Intelligence (C4I), and Combat Systems in a challenged/jammed environment. GPNTS provides precise PNT data required for combat, weapons, command, control, communications, navigation, and other systems, as well as providing the time synchronization critical to the network environments. GPNTS will back fit current PNT/GPS systems as well as serve as a forward fit for new platforms. GPNTS will host the GPS Directorate-developed Military GPS User Equipment (MGUE) card, allowing access to the new GPS M-Code signal. GPNTS will provide more robust and secure GPS/PNT capabilities than is currently in the Fleet. The system will provide the capability to migrate non-real time GPS data 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. GPNTS provides Assured PNT (A-PNT) capability to Command, Control, Communications, Computer, Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (C4ISR) and Combat Systems in standalone and networked architectures throughout maritime domains. GPS Modernization addresses the Navy's future integration of the GPS Directorate MGUE products being developed by the Air Force that will enable the use of new GPS signals. This effort supports Navy compliance with Public Law 111-383 which mandates only M-Code capable receivers are to be procured after FY 2017. GPS Modernization consists of multiple parallel efforts that address the Navy's integration of multiple next generation GPS receivers that provide Naval air, surface, subsurface and weapon platforms improved access to GPS signals in challenged and jamming environments. Modernized GPS receivers will utilize the new M-Code GPS Signal in Space, incorporate enhanced cryptology, deliver greater position and time accuracy, and provide improved protection against signal spoofing. Additionally, GPS Modernization delivers increased GPS anti-jam protection and enables blue force GPS electronic attack.

Change Summary Explanation
The FY 2019 funding request was reduced by $0.792 million to reflect the Department of Navy's effort to support the Office of Management and Budget directed reforms for Efficiency and Effectiveness that include a lean, accountable, more efficient government. Technical: The increase to Global Positioning System (GPS) Modernization in FY 2019 supports multiple software intensive updates and non-recurring engineering services specifically for F/A-18E/F, EA-18G and E-2D air platforms for the integration of Military Code (M-Code) capable GPS receivers. FY19 funding also supports a full year of integration, government systems engineering and software development efforts for the integration of M-Code capable GPS receivers for surface ship platforms and seven (7) air platforms: F/A-18E/F, EA-18G, E-2D, MV-22B, CMV-22B, CH-53K, and KC-130J. Program: Proj: 0253 Nav & Electro-Optical Supt:FY 2019 $26.830M increase is for the major design, development, fabrication, and verification testing of the new Task Oriented Technical Insertion Mast (TOTIM) required for Columbia Class and VA Class Submarines. TOTIM development will utilize open architecture and a non-rotating modular design to reduce life cycle costs and enable flexibility for future capability upgrades. FY 2019 increase includes developing the TOTIM technical data package, executing design reviews, developing test plans, designing counter detection vulnerability reduction, procuring and fabricating the TOTIM test article, and executing test events and environmental qualification testing of TOTIM. Proj: 0921 NAVSTAR GPS Equipment:GPS Modernization re-baselined schedule to move E-6B air platform initiation from FY18 to FY20 and surface ships from the out-years into FY18 to begin M-Code capability efforts for Size Weight and Power and Cost (SWaP-C) constrained Surface Platforms that cannot accept Global Positioning System (GPS) - Based Positioning, Navigation and Timing (PNT) Service (GPNTS) such as Military Sealift Command (MSC) surface ships.
