Sub Tact Comm System
Abstract
The Submarine Tactical Communications System project (1411) provides submarines with communications systems designed to: (a) enhance assured information transfer via automated and integrated network management; (b) support assured Command & Control, (c) provide submarine Internet Protocol (IP) connectivity; (d) be interoperable with Nuclear Command, Control, and Communications (NC3), joint United States, and allied/coalition military networks; (e) meet NC3 strategic messaging requirements; and (f) improve reliability, maintainability, and availability. This is accomplished by providing the submarine with a properly integrated mix of fully interoperable Navy standard and Commercial Off-the-Shelf (COTS) communication equipment covering a wide range of frequencies and modes. The Common Submarine Radio Room (CSRR) transforms LOS ANGELES, OHIO (SSBN and SSGN) and SEAWOLF Class radio rooms from suites of class-specific, closed system equipment to a common (not identical) design which incorporates Open System Architecture communications equipment. CSRR leverages and continues the development of VIRGINIA Class External Communications System (ECS) design and ECS Control and Management software, applies a system-of-systems approach to design and implementation of Joint Maritime Communication System, and integrates COTS and Government Off-the-Shelf components with emerging technologies into a single centrally managed radio room architecture for all classes of submarines. The project utilizes land-based integration test facilities to integrate Command, Control, Communications, Computers, and Intelligence (C4I) programs of record components into the open architecture prior to fleet implementation on all submarine platforms. This project funds the development of a replacement simulation/stimulation suite to support training requirements. The project includes system engineering efforts associated with demonstration of new technology allowing submarines to connect to the global information grid, participate in strike group and joint operations, and support NC3 commitments. CSRR supports the Navy Strategy for achieving Information Dominance by providing the submarine resilient, robust communications capabilities for NC3, Joint United States and allied/coalition military operations. The new technology will ensure the submarine's continued ability to participate in network-centric warfare and exploit its inherent stealth capabilities in support of the Navy, Joint, and allied/coalition fight to achieve total battlespace information dominance. JUSTIFICATION FOR BUDGET ACTIVITY: This program is funded under ENGINEERING and MANUFACTURING DEVELOPMENT because it encompasses development and demonstration of new end-items prior to fielding approval decision. Funding in FY16 is to continue CSRR Increment 1 Version 4 systems engineering development for OHIO Class ballistic missile (SSBN) submarines, VIRGINIA, LOS ANGELES and SEAWOLF Class attack (SSN) submarines, OHIO Class guided missile (SSGN) submarines, and ensure Supply Chain Risk Management (SCRM) compliance. Continue development of platform specific builds for Control & Management software incorporating Increment 1 Version 4 capabilities. Continue development of the Multi-purpose Reconfigurable Training System (MRTS) software for Increment 1 Version 4 capabilities. Update acquisition documentation to reflect changes in Increment 1 Version 4 through Version 6. Acquisition Decision Memorandum signed by Assistant Secretary of Navy for Research, Development & Acquisition dated 15 July 2008 approved consolidating Increments 1 and 2 to a single Increment 1 with multiple block upgrades (Versions).
