Surf Combatant Combat System Imp

Abstract

AEGIS BL 10 2024 will provide critical warfighter improvements to the AEGIS FLT III Destroyers. AEGIS BL 10 2024 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. Delivers subset of previous BL 9 CSL capabilities plus Air and Missile Defense Radar (AMDR) SPY-6; Mk 160 Gun Combat System (GCS) concurrent engagements; Close in Weapon System (CIWS) sensor integration; Tactical Data Link (TDL) J3.4 message; and BMD 6.0. Fields to new construction Flt III DDG beginning FY24 in support of Air and Missile Defense Coordinator fleet requirement. AEGIS BL 9 2020 delivers previous Common Source Library (CSL) capabilities plus Surface Electronic Warfare Improvement Program (SEWIP) Blk II integration (early Hard Kill / Soft Kill (HK/SK) coordination, Advanced Off-Board Electronics Warfare (AOEW) communication, & radar-cued engagement); Evolved Sea Sparrow Missile (ESSM) Blk 2 functional capability; Identify Friend or Foe (IFF) Modes 5 (objective design, S, & SIM); NIFC 2019; NIFC Collateral III; Agile Thunder; TACAIR Phase 1; and BMD 5.1.3 (MDA-developed - SBT Inc 2 CU, Space Domain Awareness, Designated Engagement, Hypersonic Vehicle ICP mitigation, Mid-term discrimination, LRBM acceleration, and BMD engagement control). Fields to 3 DDG's and 8 CG's by FY23. AEGIS BL 9 2021 delivers previous CSL capabilities plus SEWIP Blk II integration (auto association); MH-60R integration; Advanced Training Doman; Boundary Defense Capability; IAMD mission planner; Above Water Sensor Coordinator; Agile Moondog, Sirocco, Sundog part 1, Silent Squall part 1, & Vortex; Advanced Calibration Experiment; Cyber enhancements (cyber resource services, boundary proxy service, SIEM, network device integrity, update manager); and BMD 5.1.3.1 (MDA-developed - Missile Power Application Non-launch Phase 1 & SCUS update). Fields to 16 DDGs and 8 CGs by FY24. AEGIS Capability Package 2022 delivers previous CSL capabilities plus MMSP-Restoration (AMOD DDG only); ALPS; HELIOS; SM-2 Blk IIIC initial capability; Agile Firestorm; Mk 38 Mod 4 EOSS integration; and BMD 5.1.4 (MDA-developed - expanded threat space w/ SM-3 Blk IIA, hypersonic tracking, MPAN phase 2). Fields to 7 DDG, 1 CG, and Aegis Ashore by FY24. AEGIS Capability Package 2023 captures additional warfighting improvements to include NGSSR Integration, ERACE integration, Urgent Fleet Needs (CPCR Updated), and integration of SBT Inc 3, Expanded Hypersonic Track and Report, Expanded AEGIS BMD Threat Space and Warfighter enhancements. Fields on 17 ships by 2026. AEGIS Capability Package 2024 captures additional warfighting improvements to include Hardkill/Softkill coordination, HyDRA to deliver improved capability to counter hypersonic threats using existing AAW weapons, urgent fleet needs, and the following BMD capabilities; integration of Expanded AEGIS BMD Threat Space, Expanded Active Bias, Expanded Boost Phase Communications, and Warfighter enhancements. Fields on 35 Ships by FY26. SEWIP BLK III Integration brings non-kinetic electronic attack capability into the AEGIS Weapons Systems inventory expanding the number of threats the to the AEGIS Fleet can to counter. Electronic attack is a cornerstone capability that will meet the urgent operational needs of the Fleet as the pace and complexity of emerging threats continues to escalate. 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 fielded and under development and include updates to Boundary Defense Components (BDC) and other Cyber Capability. 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 (65-35 cost share MDA-Navy). Delivers SBT Inc 1 (SM-6); Agile Thunder, Sundowner, Prism, & Storm; NCC1; AAW Relaunch; AMIIP updates; Digital Air Control; IFF Mode 5/S; Advanced Calibration Experiment; and BMD 4.1.2 (MDA-developed). Fields to 21 DDG and 2 CG by FY23. AEGIS BL 5 2023 includes refurbishment of the SPY-1D radar arrays with Low Noise Amplifiers (LNA) to improve radar sensitivity against emerging Threats through the end of the Flight I/II DDG service life (50-50 cost share with MDA). Delivers NGSSR integration; GPNTS; Agile Sundog, Sirocco, Silent Squall, & Vortex; C2P tech refresh; and BMD 4.2 (MDA-developed - SBT Inc 2 CU, performance against hypersonic threats, increases BMD raid capacity, expands BMD threat set and ship operating areas, improves electronic attack mitigation techniques, and track support to downrange SBT engagements). Required to support first install planned in FY22. 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 M&S during program test and evaluation to represent conceptual systems that do not exist and existing systems which cannot be subjected to actual environments due to safety requirements or resource limitations. The CSTB supports DT and OT runs-for-record for AEGIS BL 9, DDG Flt III IOC and Frigate BL 10 IOC. INTEGRATED COMBAT SYSTEM COMPUTING INFRASTRUCTURE (ICS CI) delivers Infrastructure-as-a Service (IaaS) in support of all Surface Combatants (LUSV, DDG, FFG-62, and DDG(X)). ICS requirements JROC-validated in the Initial Capabilities Document for the Future Surface Combatant Force. The ICS CI is a foundational element of the surface Navy's Integrated Combat System supporting all future ship classes. IaaS provides hatchable hardware abstracted (separated) from software, enabling upgrade outside modernization periods (agility) to more ships (capacity).
