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 Guided Missile Destroyer (DDG) 51-78, BL 6 on DDG 79-90, BL 7 on DDG 91-112, and BL 9 113 and follow. The AEGIS Modernization Baselines will provide new technology to replace aging military equipment, extend service life, and maintain combat 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 CGs 59,60,62 and DDG 51,52,53,57,61,65 and 69. AEGIS BL 9 will provide updated computer program to CG 52-58 to improve warfighter effectiveness by introducing Naval Integrated Fire Control - Counter Air (NIFC-CA), SM-6 and Fleet Urgent Operational Needs (UONs) and reduce the number of AEGIS Baselines within the AEGIS Fleet. AEGIS BL 9 will also be introduced on the new construction destroyers, starting with DDG 113 and follow. AEGIS Advanced Capability Build (ACB) 16 and the required Technical Insertion (TI) 16 Computing and Display Plant will provide warfighter upgrades to AEGIS Cruisers and Destroyers to include improved Ballistic Missile Defense (BMD) capabilities (DDG only), SEWIP BLK II, MH-60R Integration, IFF Mode 5/S, SPQ-9B in the Fire Control Loop, Total Ship Training Capability (TSTC), Condition Based Maintenance, Combat System Boundary Defense, NIFC-CA 2019, and NIFC-CA Collateral #3. It will modernize DDG 66-68, 70-73, 79, 81-82, 84, 86-88, modernize CG 63-65, 66-69, 70-73, backfit to TI12 DDG 51-53, 57, 61, 65, 67 and forward fit to new construction DDG 119-123. AEGIS Advanced Capability Build (ACB) 20 and Technical Insertion (TI) 20 will provide critical warfighter upgrades to AEGIS Destroyers. ACB 20 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 DDG Combat System. Provide Computer program updates that can be backfit to AEGIS TI 16 hardware configurations. AEGIS BL 7.2 will provide a common Computer Program build that consolidates 2 (BL 7.1.3 and BL 7.1R) to one software configuration (BL 7.2) for a 22 ship superset (DDG 91-112). Also addresses operations and maintenance deficiencies to improve warfighting readiness and delivers critical warfighting improvements in air defense. AEGIS Far Term Interoperability Improvement Plan will address the remaining interoperability issues within fielded AEGIS Combat System configurations to integrate Identify Friend or Foe (IFF) Mode 5/S capabilities. These updates will be implemented in a phased approach to align with current and future AEGIS development efforts. AEGIS Task Force Cyber Awakening will assess and provide corrective actions to improve AEGIS Combat System Computer Program and Hardware configurations against emerging threat within the Cyber arena. These improvements will be implemented within AEGIS Combat Systems currently under development. AEGIS BL 5.3.X will field a single AEGIS Computer Program that merges AEGIS BL 5.3.9 and BMD BL 4.1 enabling a near simultaneous shift from AAW to BMD to AEGIS Flight I/II DDGs to ensure viability against emerging threats until end of service life (ESL). These improvements will include Computer Program updates to integrate the improved radar performance provided by the hardware upgrades to the SPY-1D radar. AEGIS BL 5.3 SEARAM Integration and Test program will introduce SEARAM as part of the AEGIS Combat System to address Combatant Commander Requirements to improve warfighter capabilities against advanced anti-ship cruise missiles. These updates will be focused on completing integration and test requirements to validate the performance of the integrated capability. These updates will support Demonstration and Operational Test efforts planned for FY16/17.
