Submarine Supt Equip Prog

Abstract

The Submarine Support Equipment Program develops and improves techniques, components, equipment, and systems that will increase submarine operational effectiveness, safety of ship, and survivability in the increasingly dense and sophisticated electromagnetic environment caused by the proliferation of complex radar, communications, and navigation equipment of potential adversaries. Improvements are necessary for Submarine Electronic Warfare Support (EW) systems to be operationally effective in the following mission areas: Joint Littoral Warfare; Joint Intelligence Surveillance Recognizance (ISR), Indications and Warnings; Electronic Warfare, Information Operations, Special Operations, and Force (SOF) Support. Efforts include: (1) Integration the technology developed and transitioned from the Advanced Submarine Support Equipment Program (ASSEP), project 0770, into the tactical EW system; (2) Resolution of software trouble reports during technology updates, from fleet feedback reports, and Submarine Warfare Federated Tactical System (SWFTS)/Non Propulsion Electronic System (NPES) Tactical Local Area Network (TACLAN) migrations; (3) Integration, test, and installation of COTS technology for system enhancements. The Electronic Warfare (EW) Development Projects include the development of: Distant EW Support and Remote Log-In, Capability and Technical Initiatives, next generation processes, architecture and radar wideband miniaturization. OPNAV direction provided for Next Generation EW in reference dated 17 June 12, SER N97/12U144401. RDTE Funding line supports the entire AN/BLQ-10 EW procurement program. Average FY OPN and SCN hardware procurement yearly funds are $100M.
