Adv Sub Supp Equip Prog
Abstract
A continuing need exists to improve Imaging and Electronic Warfare Support (ES) capabilities in view of the advancements in potential imaging counter detection and the increasingly dense electromagnetic environment caused by the proliferation of complex radar, communications, and navigation equipment of potential adversaries. Improvements are necessary for submarine ES and imaging to be operationally effective in the following mission areas: Joint Littoral Warfare, Joint Surveillance, Space and Electronic Warfare, Intelligence Collection, Maritime Protection and Joint Strike. The program is divided into two project categories: Advanced Imaging Project Development and Advanced Electronic Warfare Support Project Development. Both of these categories will allow for the evaluation of the vulnerability of submarine masts, periscopes and sensors to visual, radar, and infrared detection and evaluation of state of the art technology to implement periscope/mast engineering improvements to reduce counter detection threats, the pursuit of technologies (such as 360 degree imaging systems) to develop submarine unique improvements to mast, periscope, and ES electromagnetic and electro-optic sensors based on emerging technologies available from academia and other sources. Engineering demonstration models (EDMs) are developed, evaluated, and validated in the lab and through at-sea testing. The Advanced Imaging Project Development Projects include the development of: 360 Degree Imaging - Far Term Advanced System, 360 Degree Imaging 360 Degree JPL, 360 Degree Affordable Modular Panoramic Periscope (AMPP) - Near Term System, 360 Degree Submarine Panoramic Infra-Red (SPIR) Imaging System, Advanced Head Window Water Shedding, Electro-Optic/Infrared Vulnerability Signature Reduction and Mast Signature Reduction. The Advanced Electronic Warfare Support (ES) Development Projects include the development of: Distant ES Support and Remote Log-In, Rapid Reprogram Threat Library, Specific Emitter Identification (SEI) Improvements, ES Vulnerability Tool, Enhanced DeInterleavers, ES Server, LPI DF and ES OBT. All programs funded in this project are non-acquisition category programs. The test articles identified consist of critical components that will be fully developed during engineering development into Engineering Development Models (EDMs). ASSEP Program was transferred from a Military Intelligence Program, Program Element (PE) 0303562N in Fiscal Year 2012 back to PE 0603562N.
