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); and the Missile Defense Agency's Ballistic Missile Defense 6.0 (BMD 6.0) program (MDA-developed). Fields to new construction FLT III DDGs beginning FY24 in support of the Air and Missile Defense Commander (AMDC) fleet requirement. AEGIS BL 10.0.1 continues combat system development efforts to include integration of the Technical Insertion (TI) 16 Mod 1 hardware suite, Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 8.0 operating environment, and combat system element updates. Fields to new construction FLT III DDGs beginning in FY26 in support of the AMDC fleet requirement and BMD Flight Test Missions. AEGIS BL 10.M provides critical warfighter improvements on AEGIS FLT II A DDGs, delivering in FY27. AEGIS BL 10.M combat system development efforts include integration of the Air and Missile Defense Radar (AMDR) SPY-6V(4) radar, as well as BMD 6.1 and Sea Based Terminal (SBT) Increment 3 (MDA-developed). Fields to in-service FLT IIA DDGs during AEGIS Modernization (AMOD) upgrade 2.0. AEGIS BL 10.1 continues combat system development efforts to include integration of SPY-6(V)1 radar performance updates, BMD 6.1 and Sea Based Terminal (SBT) Increment 3 (MDA-developed), MK 6 MOD 1 hardware, and Cybersecurity updates. Fields to new construction FLT III DDGs beginning FY28 in support of the AMDC fleet requirement, BMD Flight Test Missions, and Full Operational Capability (FOC). Effort delayed due to ship schedule, cert delayed from FY26 to FY28. 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. CP 2022-2, will deliver to DDG 91 to support its modernization test program 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. Collaborative IAMD Planning Program (CIPP) will provide multi-ship ballistic missile and air defense (BMD and AAW) in a common collaborative planning environment that enables an exchange of plans and data. CIPP software will be integrated with and fielded with the Maritime Tactical Command and Control (MTC2) PoR, which along with the Naval Operational Architecture (NOA) data platform provides asset scheduling/tasking/data services, a common user interface, common map, and data replication/sharing. AEGIS DEVELOPMENTAL TESTING / OPERATIONAL TESTING (DT/OT) will support the AEGIS Test and Evaluation Master Plan (TEMP) including AEGIS Combat System (ACS), which is made up of several elements including AEGIS Weapons System (AWS) Components, the SPY-1 or SPY-6 radars, Ship Electronic Warfare Improvement Program (SEWIP), Standard Missile (SM), Evolved Sea Sparrow Missile (ESSM) and CIWS. CP 2024 will be developed with five Capability Baselines (CB) that will require CS DT/OT testing prior to deployment. BL 10.1 consists of the ACS for DDG FL III ships, providing improved capability to the already established BL 10.0 and will require CS DT/OT testing prior to deployment. Test requirements will be documented in TEMP 1669. 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, BL 10M FLT IIA DDG's and BL 10F FFG's.
