Surface ASW System Improvement
Abstract
The Surface Anti-Submarine Warfare (ASW) Systems Improvements Project will support essential performance enhancements to the AN/SQQ-89A(V)15 Surface Ship ASW Combat System. This project will improve Measures of Performance (MOP) by enhancing operator interface methods and tools; active and passive detection; tracking, classification, and localization; Torpedo Detection, Classification, and Localization (TDCL); sonobuoy data processing and display capabilities; and increasing acoustic sensor frequency bandwidth (Operational Requirements Document (ORD) #667-76-05 titled 'AN/SQQ-89 Improvement Program' and Test & Evaluation Master Plan (TEMP) 802-2). This Project will take advantage of the AN/SQQ-89A(V)15 Surface Ship ASW Combat System Open System Architecture (OSA) and Acoustic Rapid Commercial-Off-The-Shelf (COTS) Insertion (ARCI) initiatives to integrate TDCL and ASW sonar and combat system capability improvements. The AN/SQQ-89A(V)15 Surface Ship ASW Combat System is planned as a backfit program for CG47 (select CG59-73 Baseline 3 and 4 ships) and all DDG51 class ships. The OSA and high performance COTS processing hardware on ships fielded with the AN/SQQ-89A(V)15 Surface Ship ASW Combat System provides an opportunity to integrate emergent, transformational ASW and Undersea Warfare (USW) technological improvements that were previously unachievable. The ASW/USW suites on these ships will require periodic upgrades to remain effective well into the 21st century and to pace the threat. Software upgrades developed under this Project will 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 (2) years to the AN/SQQ-89A(V)15 Surface Ship ASW Combat System production program via an Advanced Capability Build (ACB) spiral development process (ACB-19, ACB-21, etc.) by inserting maturing ASW and USW technologies. Primary areas of ASW and USW improvements 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)
