Surf Combatant Combat System Imp

Abstract

This project provides AEGIS Cruiser & Destroyer ACS upgrades and integrates new equipment and systems to pace the threat and capture advances in technology. The ACS capabilities have continually evolved starting with AEGIS Baseline (BL) 2 on Guided Missile Cruisers (CG 52-58), BL 3 on CG 59-64, and BL 4 on CG 65-73. In FY 1992, AEGIS BL 5 was introduced on DDG 51-78, BL 6 on DDG 79-90, and BL 7 on DDG 91-112. The AEGIS Modernization Baselines will provide new technology to replace aging military equipment, extend service life, and maintain viability of AEGIS combatants into the future. These baselines reduce combat system maintenance life cycle costs and streamline the development of capabilities. AEGIS BL 8 (Cruiser Modernization) upgraded CG 52-58, while AEGIS BL 9, consisting of an upgraded computing infrastructure and computer program enhancements, will modernize CG 59-73 and DDG 51-78. AEGIS BL 9 will also be introduced on the new construction destroyers, starting with DDG 113. AEGIS Advanced Capability Build (ACB) 16 and Technical Insertion (TI) 16 will provide warfighter upgrades to AEGIS Destroyers to include the latest Computing Power (TI-16), improved Ballistic Missile Defense (BMD) capabilities, SEWIP BLK II, MH-60R Integration, IFF Mode 5/S, SPQ-9B, Total Ship Training Capability (TSTC), and other capabilities to address future emerging threats. Future combat system development and integration efforts will support the Air Missile Defense Radar (AMDR) acquisition milestone requirements and build upon ACB 16 to form the foundation for the AEGIS Flight III DDGs. In addition, Fleet Firing events were reconstituted to validate AEGIS Combat System updates, performance and fleet proficiency.
