(U)Multi-Mission Maritime (MMA) Increment III

Abstract

The P-8A Increment 3 program consists of incremental enhancement Engineering Change Proposals (ECPs) to system capabilities that will retain cost-wise effectiveness for major combat operations. Increment 3 will incorporate improvements to aircraft systems including Combat System hardware and architecture improvements, Anti-Submarine Warfare (ASW) and Anti-Surface Warfare (ASuW) sensor improvements, communication capability upgrades, ASuW Net Enabled Weapon (NEW), Higher-Than-Secret (HTS) security capability and High Altitude ASW Weapons Capability (HAAWC) datalink. These capabilities will be developed as a series of ECPs for the P-8A and are as follows: - ECP 4 - Software upgrades to Narrowband SATCOM and Targeting. - ECP 5 - Net Enabled Weapon, High Frequency radio Internet Protocol (HF-IP), Integrated Broadcast Service (IBS) filtering, IBS receiver, and Harpoon II+. - ECP 6 - Applications Based Architecture (ABA) and Combat System, Anti-Submarine Warfare (ASW) capability, Wide Band SATCOM, Higher Than Secret (HTS) processing, ASW SIGINT, and Enhanced track management (Minotaur). - ECP 7 - Enhanced Multi-Static Active Coherent (MAC). To expedite fielding capability to the P-8A Fleet, ECPs 4, 5, and 6 are executed concurrently as these capabilities are independent of one another. However, Enhanced MAC (ECP 7) is reliant on ECP 6's Combat System hardware and architecture to operate on the P-8A. Note: Enhanced MAC (ECP 7) is developed within Program Element 0604261N and integrated into the platform within this PE.
