QRCC
Abstract
The Quick Reaction Combat Capability (QRCC) project implements an evolutionary acquisition of improved ship self defense capabilities against Anti-Ship Cruise Missiles (ASCMs) for selected ships. The Ship Self Defense System (SSDS) is the integrating element of QRCC. The design integrates several existing stand-alone Anti-Air Warfare (AAW) systems that do not individually provide the complete detection, control, and engagement capabilities needed against low flying, high speed ASCMs with low radar cross sections. The SSDS integration concept fulfills the need for an automated detection, quick reaction and multi-target engagement capability emphasizing performance in the littoral environment. SSDS replaces manual control of several self-defense systems with a single integrated capability under the computer-aided control of ship operators. System design emphasizes use of non-developmental items, commercial standards, commercial processors, computer program reuse and open system architecture. SSDS is a physically distributed, open system architecture computer network consisting of commercially available or previously developed hardware. It includes the Navy's AN/UYQ-70 standard display and command table for human-system interface, commercially available local area network access units and circuit cards, and commercially available fiber optic cabling. SSDS MK1 integrates the SPS-49A(V)1 radar, SPS-67(V)1 radar, AN/SLQ-32A/B electronic countermeasures system, Combat Identification, Friend or Foe-Self Defense (CIFF-SD), Rolling Airframe Missile and Phalanx Close-In Weapon System and is installed on LSD41/49 class ships. SSDS MK1 successfully completed Operational Evaluation in June 1997. SSDS received Milestone III Approval for Full Rate Production (Mar 98) and authority to integrate with ACDS and Cooperative Engagement Capability (CEC) on CV(N), LPD-17, LHD and LHA ship classes. SSDS MK2 facilitates the incremental evolution and implementation of follow-on modifications. Development of SSDS MK2 leveraged critical experiments and re-use of technology and software from SSDS MK1. SSDS MK2 is in development and integrates other ship self defense elements, such as AN/SPQ-9B radar, NATO Sea-sparrow system, CEC and Tactical Data Links for joint interoperability. SSDS MK2 provides enhanced capabilities for Self Defense against air, and surface threats using both ownship and remote data to address AAW Capstone requirements. SSDS MK2 becomes the integrated, coherent real time Command and Control System for Aircraft Carriers and Amphibious ships. It will increase operational capabilities; improve combat readiness and Strike Group/Expeditionary Strike Group Interoperability; and promote standardization. It also introduces new shipboard tactical displays and support equipment, and integrates advanced systems such as Evolved NATO Sea-sparrow missile system and SLQ-32 SEWIP. In order to meet the Navy's warfighting capabilities and modernization concepts described in SEA POWER 21, Navy Open Architecture (NOA) is being introduced in conjunction with SSDS P3I COTS Tech Refresh. This is the first step in unifying a set of warfighting functions into a single architecture shared among many ship classes. This principle of commonality is a major mechanism for cost control and avoidances in the Navy's future warfighting systems. SSDS MK 2 would rehost existing tactical computer program applications to the Open Architecture Computing Environment (OACE) specifications/ equipment suite concurrent with P3I Commercial off the Shelf ( COTS) Tech Refresh cycles, prior to full migration and integration with other OA applications for implementation on future classes of ships. Tech Refresh cycles are driven by COTS obsolescence. Follow on Operational Test and Evaluation of SSDS Mk 2 has been conducted on the CVN Class on the LPD Class SSDS Combat Systems in FY07/08. Follow on Operational Test and Evaluation of the ESSM Integration with SSDS Mk 2 has been conducted on the CVN Class in FY08. Live Fire, Combat System end-to-end testing has been conducted on the Self Defense Test Ship in FY07/08. The SSDS MK 2 Self Defense Combat System is being tested on the Self Defense Test Ship against Anti Ship Cruise Missile threats in the LPD 17 and CVN/LHD Class configurations to support this effort. These tests will serve as a transition phase to the Ship Self Defense Capstone Air Warfare T&E Enterprise. Additional Self Defense Test Ship Live Fire tests against Anti Ship Cruise Missile threats are planned in FY10/11/12 in the CVN/ESSM and LHA 6 configurations, per the Ship Self Defense Capstone Air Warfare T&E Enterprise and DOT&E direction. Follow on Operational Test and Evaluation of SSDS Mk 2 will also be conducted on the CVN Class (P3I) COTS Tech Refresh in FY09, LHD 7/8 in FY10, and LHA 6 Class in 13. These tests will provide T&E data for the evaluation of the P3I COTS Tech Refresh Open Architecture Migration and Probability of Raid Annihilation (Pra) calculations.
