Sub Integrated Ant System
Abstract
The programs funded under the Submarine Integrated Antenna System project (0742) provide Nuclear Submarines (SSN), Ballistic Missile Submarines (SSBN) and Guided Missile Submarines (SSGN) with improved communications capabilities to support future Joint, Allied, and Naval operations. These efforts provide for the development and testing of submarine antennas designed to meet emerging submarine requirements: (a) Increased antenna performance while operating at speed and depth, (b) Increased stealth capability of existing and future antennas, (c) Antenna compatibility with new waveforms and transceiver equipment, (d) Increased capabilities of antennas and their interface to the External Communications System, and (e) Improved antenna design to reduce Total Ownership Cost. Specifically, this project funds research and development for submarine antennas including (1) Outboard Electronics (OE)-538/BRC Multi-Function Antenna, (2) OE-562 Submarine, High Data Rate (SubHDR), (3) New communications apertures to include Advanced High Data Rate (AdvHDR), (4) Low Probability of Intercept/Low Probability of Detection (LPI/LPD), and (5) Towed Buoy Antenna (AN/BRR- 6/6B) reliability improvements: (i) buoy shape, (ii) combined Radio Frequency (RF) and RF Depth Canister; and (iii) internal buoy Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU). Additional efforts funded under this project include (1) Antenna Improvements which develops Reliability, Maintainability, and Availability for legacy antennas, (2) Transition Engineering which develops future undersea communications capabilities for the 4th Generation Undersea Communications Architecture, and (3) the Optical Communications Project Arrangement with the United Kingdom which develops communications methods that will reduce the detectability of the submarines by the adversary. These efforts will help United States Naval Forces maintain information dominance in the undersea domain. JUSTIFICATION FOR BUDGET ACTIVITY: FY18 Antenna Transition Engineering: Development of future undersea communications capabilities in support of the 4th Generation Undersea Communications Architecture FY18 SubHDR: Continue development of Reliability, Maintainability and Availability (RMA) components identified by research and analysis to maintain Operational Availability (Ao) throughout the life of the system. FY18 AdvHDR: Continue Optical Communications Project Arrangement with United Kingdom to reduce the detectability of the submarines by the adversary. FY18 Towed Buoy Antenna (AN/BRR-6/6B): Provides for the development, system integration, and testing of field change kits to improve system performance (measured by operational availability Ao) and reliability (measured by mean time between failures MTBF); of buoy shape, combined Radio Frequency (RF) and Depth Canisters, and Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) which will reduce failures and increase reliability to improve the Strategic Communications posture for the SSBNs. Detection and risk mitigation of cybersecurity vulnerabilities to advance cybersecurity hardening. The Towed Buoy Antenna BRR-6/6B is a key component of the NC3 system and the primary means of receiving Emergency Action Messages (EAMs). FY18 Antenna Improvements: Engineering studies, simulation/modeling, prototyping and Science and Technology (S&T) related efforts for RMA improvements and continued Preplanned Product Improvement (P3I) assessments in support of legacy submarine antenna applications.
