Adv Sub Supp Equip Prog
Abstract
A continuing need exists to improve Imaging and Electronic Warfare support (EW) 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 EW 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 mitigation of submarine masts, periscopes, and sensors to visual, radar, and infrared detection. Evaluation of state of the art technology to implement periscope/mast improvements via EW electromagnetic and electro-optic sensors resulting in improved capability. 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 Affordable Modular Panoramic Photonics Mast (AMPPM); Submarine Panoramic Infra-Red (SPIR) Imaging System; Low Profile Photonics Mast (LPPM); Advanced Head Window Water Shedding; Electro-Optic/Infrared (EO/IR) Vulnerability Signature Reduction; and Mast Signature Reduction; Mast Test Vehicle (MTV) and Imaging Engineering Measurement Program. The Advanced EW Development projects include the development of: Distant ES Support and Remote Log-In; Rapid Reprogramming Threat Libraries; Specific Emitter Identification (SEI) Improvements; Radar Vulnerability Tool; Enhanced DeInterleavers; ES Correlator; Low Probability of Intercept (LPI) Direction Finding (DF); Embedded Built-in Test (BIT); EW on-Board Trainer (OBT); Multi-function Modular Mast (MMM) Payloads and Next Generation EW Systems Algorithms and Applications. OPNAV direction provided for Next Generation EW in reference dated 17 June 12, SER N97/12U144401. All programs funded in this project are non Acquisition Category (ACAT) programs. The test articles identified consist of critical components that will be fully developed during Engineering Manufacturing and Development phase into EDMs.
