Surf Combatant Combat System Imp

Abstract

AEGIS BL 10.0 provides critical warfighter improvements on AEGIS FLT III DDGs, delivering in FY24. AEGIS BL 10.0 combat system development efforts include integration of the Air and Missile Defense Radar (AMDR) SPY-6(V)1 radar while building upon AEGIS BL 9 to form the AEGIS FLT III DDG Combat System. BL 10.0 delivers previous BL 9 Common Source Library (CSL) capabilities plus SPY-6(V)1; Mk 160 Gun Combat System (GCS) concurrent engagements; Close in Weapon System (CIWS) sensor integration; Tactical Data Link (TDL) J3.4 message; and the Missile Defense Agency's Ballistic Missile Defense 6.0 (BMD 6.0) program. Fields to new construction FLT III DDGs beginning FY24 in support of Air and Missile Defense Commander (AMDC) fleet requirement. AEGIS BL 10.1 continues combat system development efforts to include integration of SPY-6(V)1 radar performance updates, BMD 6.0.1, MK 6 MOD 1 hardware, and Cybersecurity updates. Fields to new construction FLT III DDGs beginning FY26 in support of the AMDC fleet requirement, BMD Flight Test Missions, and Full Operational Capability (FOC). AEGIS BL 10.M will provide similar combat system capabilities to AEGIS FLT IIA Destroyers, integrating theSPY-6(V)4 radar and associated warfighting improvements. Fields to modernization FLT IIA DDG's in FY27. AEGIS BL 9.2.2 delivered in FY21 integrated previous CSL capabilities plus Surface Electronic Warfare Improvement Program (SEWIP) BLK 2 integration (auto association); MH-60R integration; Advanced Training Doman; Boundary Defense Capability; Integrated Air and Missile Defense (IAMD) mission planner; Above Water Sensor Coordinator; Agile Moondog, Sirocco, Sundog part 1, Silent Squall part 1, and Vortex; Advanced Calibration Experiment; Cyber enhancements (cyber resource services, boundary proxy service, Security Information and Event Management (SIEM), network device integrity, update manager); and BMD 5.1.3.1 (MDA-developed). AEGIS Capability Package (CP) 2022 builds upon previous CSL capabilities, integrating Multi Mission Signal Processor (MMSP)-Restoration (AMOD DDG only); AEGIS Linear Processing System (ALPS); High-Energy Laser with Integrated Optical-Dazzler and Surveillance (HELIOS); SM-2 Blk IIIC initial capability; Agile Firestorm; Mk 38 Mod 4 Engineering Operational Sequencing System (EOSS) integration; and BMD 5.1.4 (MDA-developed) capabilities. A variant, CP 2022-2, will deliver to DDG 91 to support its modernization test program, including first-of capabilities in FY24. Dependent on SEWIP BLK 3 Integration effort. AEGIS Capability Package 2024 delivers previous CSL capabilities, integrating additional warfighting improvements to include Evolved Sea Sparrow Missile (ESSM) BLK 2 Optimized, Elevated Radar Advanced Experiment (ERACE) integration, SEWIP BLK 3 Test Certification, Cooperative Engagement Capability (CEC) BLK II Integration Capability Group 3 (CIG 3), urgent fleet needs, and BMD 5.1.5 with SBT Inc 3 (MDA-developed). Dependent on SEWIP BLK 3 Integration effort. SEWIP BLK 3 Integration brings non-kinetic electronic attack capability into the AEGIS Weapons Systems inventory, expanding the number of threats the AEGIS Fleet can 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. AEGIS Capability Package 2026 delivers previous CSL capabilities plus additional warfighting improvements necessary to improve operational effectiveness and address future threats. Specific warfighting improvements will be defined in FY24. TASK FORCE CYBER AWAKENING 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 capabilities. AEGIS BL 5.4.1 delivers NGSSR integration; Global Positioning System (GPS), Navigation, and Timing Service (GPNT)S; portions of Agile Sundog, Silent Squall, & Vortex; Command and Control Processor (C2P) tech refresh; and BMD 4.1.3 (MDA-developed). Supports installations beginning in FY25. COMBAT SYSTEMS TEST BED (CSTB) addresses the current limitations in AEGIS Modeling and Simulation (M&S) highlighted by Director of Operational Test and Evaluation (DOT&E) in previous AEGIS BL's. CSTB will provide M&S supporting 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. CSTB supports Development Test (DT) and Operational Test (OT) runs-for-record for AEGIS BL 9 DDG's, BL 10 FLT III DDG's and BL 10F FFG's. MK 6 MOD X (previously ICS) Computing Infrastructure (CI) delivers the developmental efforts and prototypes to enable future delivery of Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) in support of all surface combatants (e.g., LUSV, DDG, FFG, and DDG(X)). IaaS provides hatchable hardware abstracted from software, enabling upgrade outside modernization periods (agility) to more ships (capacity). The MK 6 MOD X CI is a foundational element of the surface Navy's ICS System supporting all future ship classes. ICS Top Level Requirements (TLR) validated in the Initial Capabilities Document for the Future Surface Combatant Force. IaaS will also be delivered as an ORDALT package to in-service MK 6 MOD 0 and MOD 1 platforms. SW FACTORY provides a continuous integration/continuous delivery (CI/CD) pipeline for software where combat system applications are developed, tested, certified, and fielded to the Fleet at speed. The AEGIS and Ship Self Defense System (SSDS) computer programs will be re-factored into a single ICS computer program. Provides rapid combat system development, test, certification and authorization; more frequent delivery, and faster turnaround of Fleet feedback into working software and fielding to the IaaS-enabled fleet.
