Sub Integrated Ant System
Abstract
The programs funded under the Submarine Integrated Antenna System project (0742) provide Submarines with improved communications capabilities to support future Joint, Allied, and Naval operations. These efforts provide for the development and testing of submarine antennas and apertures designed to meet emerging submarine requirements (a) Increased antenna and aperture performance while operating at speed and depth, (b) Increased stealth capability of existing and future antennas and apertures, (c) Antenna and aperture compatibility with new waveforms and transceiver equipment, (d) Increased capabilities of antennas, apertures and their interface to the External Communications System, and (e) Improved antenna and aperture design to reduce Total Ownership Cost. Specifically, this project funds research and development for submarine antennas and apertures including (1) Transition Engineering, (2) Outboard Electronics (OE)-538/BRC Multi-Function Antenna, (3) OE-562 Submarine High Data Rate (SubHDR), (4) Advanced High Data Rate (AdvHDR) apertures, (5) Towed Buoy Antenna (TBA)(AN/BRR- 6/6B), and (6) Antenna Improvements. The Transition Engineering program focuses on technology development and assessments to support Fourth Generation Undersea Warfare objectives and Undersea Communications with Optical Laser Frequencies (Under C-WOLF). Under C-WOLF is a Joint Capability Technology Demonstration (JCTD) program which provides lower latency communications between undersea platforms and will be managed as well. The OE-538/BRC Multi-Function Antenna Program supports radio frequency communications from Very Low Frequency (VLF) to Ultra High Frequency (UHF) and provides Identification Friend and Foe (IFF), Global Positioning System (GPS), Mobile Users Objective System (MUOS), Tactical Data Link (TDL) via Link 16, and Iridium capabilities for all submarine classes across all submarine mission areas. The SubHDR program provides the submarine fleet with EHF low data rate (LDR), EHF Medium Data Rate (MDR), EHF Extended data Rate (XDR), military Super High Frequency (SHF), and enables reception of the Global Broadcast Service (GBS). The AdvHDR program develops communications methods that will improve undersea communications utilizing products developed by the Optical Communications Project Arrangement with the United Kingdom. The Towed Buoy Antenna (TBA) AN/BRR-6/6B is installed on OHIO class submarines and a variant of AN/BRR-6 will be the TBA for COLUMBIA class. The Antenna Improvements project provides for Reliability, Maintainability and Availability (RMA) improvements and continued Preplanned Product Improvement (P3I) developments in support of current and future submarine antenna applications which includes OE-315, AN/BRA-24, ANBRA-6, AN/BRT-1 and AN/BRM -2
