Surf Combatant Combat System Imp

Abstract

This project provides Cruiser & Destroyer ACS upgrades and integrates new equipment and systems to pace the threat and capture advances in technology. Examples of captured advanced technologies are: fiber optics, distributed architecture, and high performance computing, all of which require corresponding AWS and ACS changes. The ACS capabilities have continually evolved. Baseline (B/L) 2 (CG 52-58) introduced the VLS, Tomahawk Weapon System, and ASW upgrades. B/L 3 (CG 59-64) introduced the AN/SPY-1B Radar, AN/UYQ-21 consoles, and AN/UYK-43 computers. B/L 4 (CG 65-73) introduced the production of AN/UYK-43/44 computers with superset computer programs developed for the DDG 51. B/L 5 was introduced in FY1992 DDGs and included the JTIDS, TADIL-16, C2P, Combat Direction Finding, Tactical Data Information Exchange System, AN/SLQ-32 (V)3 Active Electronic Counter Countermeasures, and Aegis ER Missile. B/L 5 was developed in two steps (Phase 1 and Phase 3): Phase 1 integrated AEGIS ER and supported the MIOC; Phase 3 integrated system upgrades including Defensive Electronic Attack, Track Load Control Algorithms, and Track Initiation Processor (integrated on B/L 5 Phase 3, DDGs 68+); JTIDS and the OJ-663 color display Tactical Graphics capability into the ACS. B/L 5 Phase 3 is now resident on baseline 3 and 4 CGs and DDG 51-78. B/L 6 Phase 1 introduced COTS, FDDI, LAN, UYQ-70 consoles, CEC for CGs, and an adjunct COTS computer for ADS. It supported OPEVAL of CEC in CGs 66 and 69 and was introduced in the DDG 51 class beginning with DDG 79. B/L 6 Phase 1 is now resident on CGs 59, 65, 66, 68, 69, and 71. B/L 6 Phase 3 was introduced on DDGs 85-90 and was back-fitted onto DDGs 79-84. B/L 6 Phase 3 upgrades included embarked helicopters, FODMS, implementation of affordability initiatives, adjunct computers for all AWS elements, CEC for DDGs and BFTT, ADS, ESSM ID upgrades Phase 1, ATWCS Phase II, Fire Control System Upgrades, and JMCIS. B/L 7 Phase 1 is installed in the DDG 51 class beginning with DDG 91-102. Major B/L 7 upgrades include but are not limited to introduction and integration of new radar (AN/SPY-1D(V) upgrade), replacement of all UYK-43 and adjunct computers with a COTS-based advanced computing infrastructure, AN/SQQ-89(V)15, and the Remote Mine Hunting System. B/L 7P1R (DDG 103-112) upgraded the computing infrastructure, CIWS, Air Control, and introduced OA developed products into the baseline. The Modernization Baselines will provide new technology to replace aging military equipment, extend service life, and maintain viability of the Aegis combatant into the future. These baselines should reduce the life cycle costs to maintain combat systems and streamline the development of capabilities. ACB08/TI08 (Cruiser Modernization) consists of an upgraded computing infrastructure and computer program enhancements to existing warfighting capabilities on CG 52-58. ACB12/TI12 (Aegis Modernization) consists of an upgraded computing infrastructure and computer program enhancements to provide increased warfighting capabilities which will modernize CG 59-73 and DDG 51-78. ACB12 Destroyer upgrades will consist of NIFC-CA, SM-6, CDS, CPS, MMSP, and BMD. ACB12 Cruiser Upgrades will consist of NIFC-CA, SM-6, CDS, CPS and MMSP SPY-1B(V) Integration. ACB14 will be limited to a combination of capabilities outlined in OPNAV's ACB14 Development Guidance Letter: Aegis BMD, MH-60R, IFF Mode S, DWC, SEWIP BLK II, C5I updates, training and selected SBIRs.
