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 Office Secretary of Defense (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).

Change Summary Explanation
FY2023 funding request was reduced by 2.768 million to account for the availability of prior year execution balances. FY2023 increase driven by the Signature Reduction Mast Prototype. Effort supports development a low profile mast engineering development model, including tests and evaluations of various capabilities using advanced signature control techniques to reduce risk of counter detection. FY2021 decrease of $1.625 million due to SBIR ($1.610M) and Cancelled Account Liabilities ($0.015M). --- FY 2023 funding increase reflects the fact that the FY 2022 President’s Budget request did not include out-year funding.
