Adv Sub Supp Equip Prog
Abstract
A continuing need exists to improve Imaging and Electronic Warfare (EW) support 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 visual, radar, and infrared detection of submarine masts, periscopes, and sensors. The evaluation of state-of-the-art technology to implement periscope/mast improvements via EW electromagnetic and electro-optic sensors results in improved capability. Engineering Development Models (EDMs) are developed, evaluated, and validated in the lab and through at-sea testing. 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.
