Shipboard IW Exploit
Abstract
The Shipboard Information Warfare (IW) line includes the Ship's Signal Exploitation Equipment (SSEE) Increment E, F, G and Modifications programs. The SSEE program is a classified IW / Electronic Warfare (EW) and tactical cryptologic system that provide critical tactical intelligence, situational awareness, battlespace awareness, indications and warnings and hostile threat assessment. These systems provide the battle group and combatant commanders with the surface fleet's only EW non-kinetic capabilities ("Finish"). In addition they provide the battle groups with real time indications and warnings by acquisition ("Find") and localization ("Fix") of Signals of Interest (SOI). As an incremental acquisition program, Research, Development, Test & Evaluation (RDT&E) funding is required to have new technologies and associated new operational capabilities rapidly developed and transitioned as Pre-Planned Product Improvements (P3I) upgrades into the system's hardware/software configuration. This program's funding incorporates P3I, new Commercial Off-the-Shelf (COTS) based technologies and software into the existing systems. Funding will also focus on developing and delivering expanded non-kinetic EW capabilities and net-centric Service Oriented Architecture (SOA), which includes the development, integration and test of Medusa and the SSEE Modifications capabilities in support of "Ballistic Missile Defense (BMD) Executive Committee (EXCOM) Anti-Submarine Warfare (ASW) Chief of Naval Operations (CNO) Executive Board Information Operation (IO) Countermeasure Red Flash/Medusa (Additional details held at a higher classification level)." Shipboard IW will develop Anti-Access, Area Denial (A2AD) capabilities for the Ship's Signal Exploitation Equipment Increment F, G and Modifications systems. A2AD capabilities integrated into the SSEE Systems will enable maritime power projection in enabling surface vessels to disrupt, deny, degrade and defeat adversary (state and non-state) use of the radio frequency spectrum, improving the Fleet's ability to communicate and operate therein. These systems will be deployed supporting Assured Command and Control, Battlespace Awareness, and Integrated Fires (further details held at a higher classification level). FY17 funding for SSEE Inc F will develop and test new, unexplored and unexploited cyber capabilities that will enhance Fleet ability to dominate and defend cyberspace. It will also develop software and hardware upgrades in support of emerging adversary communications capabilities and insert new technology enhancements via incremental software and hardware upgrades. It will continue P3I, expand SOI processing capability, enhance remote capabilities and integrate Medusa HW into the SSEE Inc F scan chassis - improving the surface fleet's ability to dominate the radio frequency spectrum. FY17 funding for SSEE Modifications will complete Phase 3 hardware and software development and test and evaluation activities on the first Low Rate Initial Production unit aboard USS OKANE (DDG 77), bringing capability to the Fleet for simultaneous detection, collection, processing, electronic warfare and display of communication intelligence data from hostile, high threat and adversary platforms in select frequency ranges that are not prosecuted today. FY17 funding for SSEE Inc G will continue acquisition activities and contract development efforts. It will integrate and improve upon all aspects of SSEE Increment F, leveraging SSEE Increment F software and technology to increase the automation and integration of existing Ship's Signal Exploitation Space (SSES) capabilities into a common user interface while advancing and incorporating new technologies through an open architecture that allows for rapid integration and deployment of new capabilities. Additional specific details on all of these efforts are held at a higher classification level. FY17 funding for SSEE Inc F, Inc G and SSEE Modifications will develop and test A2AD Kits for deployment on surface combatants that will enable maritime power projection into a contested A2AD environment, improving the Fleet's ability to communicate and operate therein. FY17 funding for Integrated Communications and Data System Increment II (ICADS Inc II) is a mission critical system providing advanced simulation capability for naval platforms as well as back-up communications; additional details held at higher classification and outlined in the Capability Production Document. FY17 funding will initiate POR acquisition activities and begin developing efforts for the Engineering Design Models (EDM) for the Increment II system. Funding will develop and integrate system design to support refined COMPACFLT requirements.
