Shipboard IW Exploit

Abstract

The Shipboard IW line includes the Ships Signal Exploitation Equipment (SSEE) program and the Program of Record that executes a major component of the Maritime Cryptologic Systems for the 21st Century. These systems provide the battle group and Combatant Commanders with the surfaces fleets only Information Operations (IO) 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. This program's funding is required to incorporate Pre-Planned Product Improvements (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 IO capabilities and net-centric Service Oriented Architecture (SOA), which includes the development, integration and test of "Ballistic Missile Defense (BMD) Executive Committee (EXCOM) Anti-Submarine Warfare (ASW) Chief of Naval Operations Executive Board (CEB) IO Countermeasure Red Flash/ Integrated Communications and Data Systems (ICADS) (Description and details classified) and Paragon (Frequency Extension/Targeting Enhancement) into SSEE and the follow-on spiral of the SSEE program. Paragon is a classified Navy tactical signals intelligence frequency extension capability that will be integrated into SSEE Inc E/F and follow on spiral of SSEE programs. This capability will provide simultaneous detection, collection, processing, IO and display of communication intelligence data from hostile, high threat and adversary platforms in select frequency ranges that are not prosecuted or countered today. The SSEE program is a classified IW/IO and tactical cryptologic system that subsequently provides critical tactical intelligence, situational awareness/battlespace awareness (BA), indications and warnings, and hostile threat assessment. As a spiral acquisition program, Research, Development, Test & Evaluation funding is required to have new technologies and associated new operational capabilities rapidly developed and transitioned as P3I upgrades into the system's hardware/software configuration. FY11 funding will incorporate P3I, new COTS based technologies and software into the existing systems. Funding will also focus on developing and delivering IO capabilities and net-centric SOA, which includes the development, integration and test of "BMD EXCOM ASW CEB IO Countermeasure Red Flash/ICADS" (description and details classified), Graywing, Medusa and Paragon (Frequency Extension/Targeting Enhancement capabilities) into SSEE Inc F and the follow on spiral of the SSEE program.
