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 Imaging and EW 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. This project will concurrently consider both Imaging and EW domains as improved mast systems are designed. 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. This project is a non-Acquisition Category (ACAT) program. The test articles identified consist of critical components that will be fully developed during Engineering Manufacturing and Development phase into EDMs. Software-based capabilities in Imaging and/or EW domains that will process inputs from improved masts may be integrated and tested within this project.
