Surface ASW System Improvement
Abstract
The Surface ASW Systems Improvements Project will support essential performance enhancements to AN/SQQ-89(V) and Surface Ship Sonar Systems. This project will improve AN/SQQ-89(V) Measures of Performance (MOP) by enhancing operator interface methods and tools, active and passive detection, tracking, classification and localization, torpedo DCL, and sonobuoy data processing and display capabilities, and increasing acoustic sensor frequency bandwidth (Operational Requirements Document #667-76-05 titled 'AN/SQQ-89 Improvement Program'), Test & Evaluation Master Plan (TEMP) 802-2. This project will take advantage of the TANG initiative, AN/SQQ-89(V) OSA, and ARCI initiatives to integrate a TDCL and ASW sonar and combat system capability improvements. This COTS-based Surface Ship ASW combat system, the AN/SQQ-89A(V)15, is currently planned as a backfit program for both CG 47 (select CG59-73 Baseline 3 and 4 ships) and DDG 51 (All DDG 51 and follow FLT I/II/IIA) class ships. This project has delivered the AN/SQQ-89A(V)15 Pre-Production Prototype, performed installation on board CG73, and conducted subsequent Developmental Test & Evaluation (DT&E) and Initial Operational Test & Evaluation (IOT&E) where the system was found 'Operationally Effective' by Command Operational Test and Evaluation Force (COMOPTEVFOR). The OSA and high performance COTS processing hardware on ships fielded with the AN/SQQ-89A(V)15 combat system provides an opportunity to integrate emergent, transformational USW technological improvements that were previously unachievable. The USW suites on these ships will require periodic upgrades to remain effective well into the 21st century and to pace the threat. Software upgrades target capability increases in high interest areas as prescribed by the Fleet and captured in campaign analysis. To achieve this, this project will package and deliver incremental upgrades every two years to the AN/SQQ-89A(V)15 production program via an ACB spiral development process (ACB-15, ACB-17, etc.) by inserting maturing USW technologies. Primary areas of USW improvement are as follows: - Undersea Fire Control/Engagement - Medium Frequency (MF) Pulsed Active Sonar - Continuous Active Sonar (CAS) - Acoustic Communications - TDCL - Torpedo Defense - Passive Sonar - Sonar Tactical Decision Aids (STDA)
