Mission Systems
Abstract
E-2D Mission Systems improvements include development, integration, and testing of aircraft Mission Systems hardware/software updates and capability expansions to support aircraft avionics, displays, navigation, communication, electronic sensors, battle management, data fusion, system-of-systems, and countermeasure efforts. Efforts include continuous improvement of Mission Systems equipment and software in order to maintain mission availability for safe and reliable operations. Funding also includes development tools, test tools, and hardware benches in support of software environments and integration labs. Advanced system development and testing activities will address replacement components to address obsolescence, incorporate technical solutions to meet current and future mandates and standards, and incorporate improved technology to support evolving mission needs. Integration of Communication-as-a-Service (CaaS) to support future interoperability efforts. Studies and analyses will evaluate future capability expansions. Mission Systems efforts include, but are not limited to, Hawkeye Cockpit Technical Refresh (HECTR), improvements to/development of Communication Navigation and Identification Friend or Foe (CNI), Datalinks, Avionics, Mission System Software (MSS), Theater Combat Identification (TCID) mission computer, Naval Integrated Fire Control (NIFC), Data Fusion, Cooperative Engagement Capability (CEC) Signal Data Processor (SDP) Upgrade, battle management, technology upgrades, and emergent tactical requirements as they arise. DSSC-5.1, 5.2, and 5.3 accelerates the fleet release plan with agile development to fast-track fielding of capability in incremental drops in FY24, FY25, and FY26 vice the previous plan to field all DSSC 5 capability in FY25.
