Surf Combatant Combat System Imp

Abstract

AEGIS Baseline nomenclature has changed for President's Budget 2020 as follows, ACB-12 with TI-12 is now AEGIS BL 9 Capability package (AEGIS BL 9 (2015) 2015, ACB-16 with TI-12 is now AEGIS BL 9 Capability Package (AEGIS BL 9 2018) 2018, ACB-16 with TI-12H is now AEGIS BL 9 Capability Package (AEGIS BL 9 2020) 2020, ACB-16 with TI-16 is now AEGIS BL 9 Capability Package (AEGIS BL 9 2021) 2021, and ACB-20 with TI-16 is AEGIS BL 10 Capability Package (AEGIS BL 9 2023) 2023. AEGIS Baseline 9 capability package 2015 (AEGIS BL 9 2015) includes new technology and capabilities to replace aging MIL-SPEC equipment, extend service life, and maintain the combat viability of AEGIS ships into the future. AEGIS BL 9 2015 has been installed during modernization availabilities to DDG 51-53, 57, 61, 65 and 69 and CG 59, 60, 62 and also introduced on new construction destroyers (DDG 113-118). AEGIS Baseline 9 capability packages 2018, 2020, and 2021 (AEGIS BL 9 2018, 2020, 2021) will deliver additional warfighter improvements to the AEGIS Fleet to include improved Ballistic Missile Defense (BMD) capabilities (DDG only), SEWIP BLK II, MH-60R Integration, 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. AEGIS BL 9 2018 will be delivered (including back-fit) to 15 DDGs (51/52/57/61/65/69/80/113-120), 7 CGs (52-58) and 2 AEGIS ASHORE (AA) sites (Poland/Romania); AEGIS BL 2020 will initially be delivered to 2 DDGs (79/83) and 7 CGs (63-65/66/68/69/71); and AEGIS BL 9 2021 will be delivered to 12 DDGs (81/84-88/92/94/121-124, 127). AEGIS Baseline 10 capability package 2023 (AEGIS BL 10 2023) will provide critical warfighter improvements to the AEGIS FLT III Destroyers. AEGIS BL 10 2023 combat system development efforts include integration of the Air and Missile Defense Radar (AMDR) SPY-6 while building upon AEGIS BL 9 to form the foundation for the AEGIS Flight III DDG Combat System. AEGIS Far Term Interoperability Improvement Plan (FTIIP) addressed interoperability issues within fielded AEGIS Combat System configurations. AEGIS Task Force Cyber Awakening effort assesses and delivers design improvements to AEGIS Combat System Computer Program and Hardware configurations to counter emerging cyber threats. These improvements are implemented within AEGIS Combat Systems configurations currently under development and include updates to Boundary Defense Components (BDC). AEGIS BL 5 capability package 2020 (AEGIS BL 5 2020) combines AEGIS BL 5 and BMD 4.1 into single AEGIS Computer Program enabling near simultaneous shift between AAW and BMD operations for the AEGIS Flight I/II DDGs as well as a combined Air and Ballistic Missile Defense capability. Additional capabilities delivered with AEGIS BL 5 2020 include SM-6 integration, as well as capabilities developed to address Fleet Urgent Operational Needs (UONs). AEGIS BL 5 capability package 2023 (AEGIS BL 5 2023) includes refurbishment of the SPY-1D radar arrays with installation of Low Noise Amplifiers (LNA) to improve radar sensitivity against emerging threats through the end of the Flight I/II DDG service life. AEGIS IFF MODE 4/5 Integration program addresses IFF Mode 4 issues and fully integrates Mode 5 IFF for all AEGIS Baselines by 2020 in support of Fleet direction. Combat Systems Test Bed (CSTB) will address the current limitations in AEGIS Modeling & Simulation highlighted by DOT&E in previous AEGIS baselines. Combat Systems Test Bed will provide automated analysis to efficiently process large amounts of M&S data. The CSTB has already been used to aid in the modeling and simulation of combat systems performance prior to the execution of every AEGIS Baseline 9 live fire testing since JAN 2015 and has a proven track record of realistic predictions and the identification of mission critical software defects. CSTB is already being utilized to predict AEGIS Baseline 9 2018 system performance on Cruisers and Destroyers, and has already run over 145,000 missile scenarios, with an associated cost avoidance of $584M. The CSTB helps save on the use of targets and weapons required during live fire tests of new Combat Systems capabilities. DOT&E requires use of CSTB as noted in DOT&E letter dated Aug 09, 2013 and Jun 09, 2014. CSTB will continue to be used by IWS1 with expanded capabilities in 2018, 2019, and 2020, and by Commander Operational Test and Evaluation Force for AEGIS BL 9 Critical Operational Issue evaluations in 2022. The CSTB will be a critical system for Frigate Combat System and AEGIS BL 10 2023.
