Abstract

AN/BLQ-10 Electronic Warfare (EW) system will continue to add new capabilities via Technical Insertion (TI)/Advanced Processing Build (APB) while working across Submarine Warfare Federated Tactical System (SWFTS) programs to transition to Development Security Operations (DevSecOps) software processes and migrate to a cloud based architecture. The Navy is pursuing a transformation across SWFTS (PE 0604503N Project 0219, PE 0604562N Project 0236, PE 0604777N Project 0253 and PE 0604503N Project 0775) to maximize cyber-resiliency and the speed of capability delivery. Major new capabilities that will continue to be pursued in FY24 include a modern server-based RADAR Wide Band capability, upgraded and new tactical software solutions. The Submarine Support Equipment Program (SSEP) is responsible for the development and improvement of submarine EW systems in support of effective operations in the following mission areas: Joint Littoral Warfare; Joint Intelligence Surveillance Reconnaissance (ISR), Indications and Warnings; Electronic Warfare; Information Operations including Cyber; and Special Operations Force (SOF) support. The rapid proliferation of complex radar, communications and navigation equipment available to potential adversaries creates an increasingly dense and sophisticated electromagnetic environment. Sustained and significant improvements to submarine EW systems are required to maintain tactical ship safety and operational effectiveness. As such, EW was raised to a submarine primary mission area in FY2012 by Commander Submarine Forces, and EW is listed as a Tier 1 modernization requirement by the Submarine Tactical Requirements Group (STRG). TI-24 provides the VA Class a server-based Radar Wide Band capability. Additionally, TI-24 looks to improve the basic cloud based architecture developed during TI-20 and TI-22 as well as integrate new generations of EW Payloads. Funding is critical to developing enabling technologies that will provide maximized electronic spectrum digitization and processing, allowing Submarine EW system to continue to pace the threat.
