Shipboard IW Exploit
Abstract
The FY 2019 funding request was reduced by $5.50 million to account for the availability of prior year execution balances. The Shipboard Information Warfare (SIW) line includes the Ship's Signal Exploitation Equipment (SSEE) Family of Systems (FoS) (which include SSEE Increment E, SSEE Increment F (and its variants), Spectral and SSEE Modifications), and Integrated Communications Data System (ICADS) (which includes ICADS Increment I and ICADS Increment II). These programs are classified Information Warfare (IW) / Electronic Warfare (EW) tactical cryptologic systems supporting all facets of Assured Command and Control, Battlespace Awareness, Electromagnetic Maneuver Warfare / Integrated Fires (EMW/IF) 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 while providing advanced scalability and modularity for mission planners to execute. 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 Improvement (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 meeting 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 of multiple Operational Plans (OPLANS), Concepts of Operations (CONOPS) and communications challenged (referred to as Anti-Access, Area Denial (A2AD)) scenarios (further details held at a higher classification level). SIW will continue development and integration of communications challenged 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. It can also be used to enable a more complete understanding and more agile and effective exploitation of the electromagnetic spectrum. FY19 funding for SSEE Increment F (and its variants) will continue to develop, refine, and test new, unexplored and unexploited cyber capabilities. It will begin integration of solutions to incorporate other Navy development investments to enhance the Fleet's ability to dominate and defend cyberspace mediums, insert new technology enhancements via incremental software & hardware upgrades and deliver as annual build release. Specifically, Increment F will continue development and integrate designs in support of software and hardware development for VITA 49 / VPX Next-Generation Chassis modifications to provide enhanced data processing, and greater exposure of existing system services while meeting constricting Space, Weight, Power and Cooling (SWPaC) requirements on ships. It will deliver advanced capabilities in a dynamic environment while integrating hosting services to platforms, bringing an enhanced modular, mission-tailorable system infrastructure specifically required for National/Tactical integration. Funding will also continue development for solutions intended to meet Joint interface and compliance standards (4.X) while creating netted sensor framework strategies and delivering enhanced automation capabilities to expedite sensor tasking and control and ease operator workflows. SSEE Increment F also continues to integrate (A2AD) capabilities into system configuration while developing capabilities to enable advanced National/Tactical Integration with U.S. Navy Surface Cryptologic Systems by deploying NSAnet afloat aboard large-deck platforms to adhere to national cybersecurity initiatives by bringing advanced inter-strike group network capabilities able to operate in any environment as well as develop, test and integrate advanced, targeted maritime Information Warfare (IW) capabilities and techniques in support of the Deputy Secretary of Defense Management Action Group (DMAG) Asia-Pacific Security Initiatives (APSI). It will begin to integrate Cryptologic systems with shipboard combat systems for tightly coupled Electromagnetic Maneuver Warfare / Integrated Fires (EMW/IF) bringing high-side fusion and battle management aids within the Ship's Signal Exploitation Equipment (SSEE) Family of Systems. FY19 funding for Spectral will continue acquisition activities, development and engineering of Engineering Design Models (EDMs), logistics, test planning and contracting activities required for Fleet Capability Release - 1 (FCR-1) and in alignment with Build Decision - 1 (BD-1). FY19 funding for SSEE Modifications supports executing hardware and software development to bring advanced capabilities 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. It will continue development to integrate designs 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. FY19 funding for Integrated Communications and Data Systems Increment II (ICADS Inc. II) will support EDM - 2 development as well as make any necessary engineering changes to EDM - 1 in preparation for the second Integration and Development Test (Operational Assessment) and to support the Low-Rate Initial Production (LRIP) decision. ICADS Inc. II is a mission critical system providing advanced capabilities and back-up communications for naval platforms with additional details held at higher classification to support Commander, U.S. Pacific Fleet (COMPACFLT) requirements outlined in the Capability Production Document.
