Shipboard EW Improvement Program
Abstract
0954 - The Surface Electronic Warfare Improvement Program (SEWIP) is segmented into Block 1A, Block 1B, Block 2, Block 3 and Soft Kill Coordination System (SKCS). Block 1A upgraded the AN/SLQ-32 pulse-processing computers. Block 1B added adjunct sensors, including Specific Emitter Identification (SEI), and High Gain High Sensitivity (HGHS) (Block 1B3), a critical improvement for extending the battle space. Block 2 enhanced Surface Electronic Warfare (EW) and provided improved Anti-Ship Missile Defense (ASMD) and situational awareness (SA) through an improved Electronic Support (ES) receiver, antenna, and combat system interface. The addition of Block 2 to Block 1B3 forms the AN/SLQ-32 (V)6. Block 3 will provide an enhanced Onboard Electronic Attack (EA) capability to improve ASMD and counter-targeting. The addition of Block 3 to AN/SLQ-32 (V)6 forms the AN/ SLQ-32(V)7 system. The SKCS will provide SK weapon coordination and enhanced situational awareness to the AN/SLQ-32 (V)6 and (V)7 with EW/radar track association to support Softkill (SK) engagement decisions. EW Rapid Capability Insertion Process (RCIP) identifies system and mission capability gaps by analyzing EW baseline and fleet requirements, prioritizes those gaps based on fleet input and critical technology maturity, and develops upgrades to the AN/SLQ-32(V) product line to address those gaps. RCIP also integrates Future Naval Capability (FNC) programs into SEWIP. FY23 budget request supports continued development, test and integration of SKCS with AEGIS Baseline (BL) 9 and BL 10, year three efforts for RCIP #7 which analyze and design hardware upgrades to improve signal throughput and system reliability, and completes fielding of Propagation Channel Assessment and Prediction's (PCAP) new operator tools and displays for improved situation awareness. Funding also initiates RCIP #8 to improve anti-ship missile defense capability of SLQ-32(V)6/7 when operating with other netted EW sensors and effectors.
