New Design SSN Combat Sys Dev
Abstract
This project provides the engineering development required to outfit each ship of the VIRGINIA Class Submarine with a combat system which satisfies ORD requirements in all 7 mission areas, namely; ASW, STRIKE, ISR, Covert Mine Warfare, Battle Group Support, ASUW, and Special Warfare. The fully integrated combat system, otherwise referred to as the Non-Propulsion Electronics System (NPES), is composed of a collection of functional sub-systems, such as sonar, navigation, exterior communications, weapons launch, Large Vertical Array, Submarine Warfare Federated Tactical System (SWFTS) virtualization, Electronic Warfare Next Generation Architecture, etc., which evolve over the life of the program due to either competitive selection of new suppliers, component obsolescence replacement, increased technical performance, or improvements in reliability. Non-recurring engineering activity is needed to perform platform integration of the components, software modification to accommodate electronic data exchange, unique submarine environment qualification and update of all logistics products. JUSTIFICATION: The FY2019 budget request is higher than standard inflation rates due to new design and development activities associated with the Block V technical baseline. These increases reflect the scope of work required to support combat systems changes specifically related to as well as other continuing development efforts: -Large Vertical Array (LVA) integration on TI-14 SSN790 during PSA to identify design deltas needed for the TI-20 Blk V configured NPES (SSN802 AFS). -NPES/SWFTS architectural design changes tied to Blk V virtualization of the TI-20 configuration and commonality with Columbia Class lead ship NPES. -Development of the Ring Laser Gyroscope Navigation (RLGN) system replacement, critical to safety of flight operation and all combat mission areas.
