Shipboard IW Exploit
Abstract
The Shipboard Information Warfare (SIW) line includes the Ship's Signal Exploitation Equipment (SSEE) Family of Systems (FoS) which include Increment E, F (and its variants), Spectral (Increment G) and Modifications, and also the Integrated Communications Data Systems (ICADS) Increment I and Increment II systems. These programs are Classified Information Warfare (IW) / Electronic Warfare (EW) tactical cryptologic systems supporting all facets of Assured Command and Control, Battlespace Awareness, Integrated Fires and Electromagnetic Maneuver Warfare modes of global engagement. These systems, including their variants, provide battle group and combatant commanders with real-time indications and warnings by acquisition ("Find") and localization ("Fix") of Signals of Interest (SOI) as well as the Surface Fleet's only EW non-kinetic capabilities ("Finish"). The SSEE Increment F variants bring a new dimension of afloat Signals Intelligence (SIGINT) capabilities to legacy platforms while providing advanced scalability and modularity for mission planners to execute with. As an incremental acquisition program, Research, Development, Test & Evaluation (RDT&E) funding is required to rapidly develop and integrate new technologies and associated new operational capabilities to pace both known and future signal threats and transition as Pre-Planned Product Improvements (P3I) upgrades into the system's hardware/software configuration and deliver to fielded systems via annual build releases. This program's funding incorporates P3I, new Commercial Off-the-Shelf (COTS) or Government-Off-the-Shelf (GOTS) based technologies and software into the existing systems to address Fleet needed priorities, capability gaps or combat known threats. Funding also focuses on developing and delivering expanded non-kinetic EW capabilities and net-centric Service Oriented Architecture (SOA), as well as meet intended interoperability objectives through Fleet defined Common Core Architectures (CCA) to enable application hosting services; all in accordance with Presidential direction and strategic objectives while also in support multiple operational plans (OPLANS), Concepts of Operations (CONOPS) and A2AD scenarios (further details held at a higher classification level). SIW will continue development and integration of Anti-Access, Area Denial (A2AD) solutions for the SSEE Increment F and Modifications systems as well as bring enhanced signals exploitation and expanded SOI processing capabilities to fielded systems. Funding supports development and integration efforts to fuse data produced and distributed by Shipboard IW/Information Operations (IO) systems with other intelligence data at multiple classification levels and provided to shipboard combat systems to support kinetic and non-kinetic fires and can also be used to enable a more complete understanding and more agile and effective exploitation of the electromagnetic spectrum. FY 18 funding for SSEE Increment F (and its variants) will continue to develop, refine, and test new, unexplored and unexploited cyber capabilities as well as begin integration of solutions to incorporate other Navy development investments to enhance the Fleet's ability to dominate and defend cyberspace mediums and insert new technology enhancements via incremental software and hardware upgrades and deliver as annual build releases. Specifically, it will finalize designs and testing in support of software and hardware development for VITA 49 / VPX Next-Generation Chassis designs to provide enhanced data processing, and greater exposure of existing system services while meeting constricting Space, Weight, Power and Cooling (SWPaC) requirements on ships and deliver advanced capabilities to integrate hosting services to platforms, bringing a modular, mission-tailorable capability specifically required for National/Tactical integration. It will also develop solutions to meet future Joint interface and compliance standards (4.X) to meet netted sensor framework strategies and deliver enhanced automation capabilities to expedite sensor tasking and control and ease operator workflows. It will also meet netted sensor framework strategies and deliver enhanced automation capabilities to expedite sensor tasking and control while easing operator workflows. Integrate Anti-Access, Area Denial (A2AD) capabilities into system configuration. FY 18 funding for Spectral will continue acquisition activities, systems engineering, logistics, test planning and contracting activities in support of a Milestone B decision. Development efforts will continue for Engineering Design Models (EDM)s and refine requirements, technical data packages and matrices for Requirements Development Package (RDP) approval and Build Decision (BD) 1. Spectral will integrate and improve upon all aspects of Ship's Signal Exploitation Equipment(SSEE)Increment F, leveraging SSEE Increment F software and technologies to increase automation and integration into Ships Signals Exploitation Space (SSES) while advancing and incorporating new technologies through open architecture for rapid integration and development of new capabilities with enhanced interfaces to Ship's Combat and Intelligence systems. Funding also executes studies, analysis and engineering efforts for market research to support Advanced Radio Frequency (RF) aperture development and integration to satisfy Fleet needs for multi-mission antennas and control modules as part of the Spectral requirement. FY 18 funding for SSEE Modifications support achieving the Initial Operating Capability (IOC) milestone as defined in the program acquisition strategies and will execute hardware and software development to bring advanced 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 extended frequency ranges not prosecuted today, as well as complete final designs and testing to bring advanced signal processing to the Next Generation-GRAYWING capability while migrating to meet future industry backplane standards to align with Common Core Architecture (CCA) strategies. Integrated Communications and Data Systems Increment II (ICADS Inc. II) is a mission critical system providing advanced simulation capabilities and back-up communications for naval platforms with additional details held at higher classification. To support Commander, US Pacific Fleet (COMPACFLT) requirements outlined in the Capability Production Document, FY 18 funding will continue acquisition activities and finalize engineering designs by delivering Engineering Design Model 1, executing Increment II Integration and Developmental Testing (IT/DT), and prepare for Operational Assessment (OA) in support of Low-Rate Initial Production (LRIP) decisions. Funding will also enable Technical Design Package (TDP) development for production contract award in FY 19.
