E-2D Adv Hawkeye
Abstract
The E-2D Advanced Hawkeye (AHE) program develops, demonstrates, tests, and procures the replacement of the AN/APS-145 radar system and other aircraft system components including Cooperative Engagement Capability Pre-Planned Product Improvement and Dual Transmit Satellite Communications that modernize the E-2 weapon system to maintain open ocean mission capability while providing the United States Navy with an effective littoral surveillance, battle management, and Naval Integrated Fire Control - Counter Air (NIFC-CA) Theater Air and Missile Defense (TAMD) capability. Key radar technologies are Space-Time Adaptive Processing, Electronically Scanning Array, solid state transmitter, high dynamic range digital receivers and Identification Friend or Foe (IFF)/radar aperture integration. The resultant detection system will provide a substantially improved overland performance by correcting current sensor shortfalls and enhancing all current required mission areas, while simultaneously contributing to the emerging TAMD mission requirements. Mode 5/S is an upgrade to the existing IFF System providing the warfighter positive, secure and reliable identification of friendly aircraft, surface and sub-surface platforms. Mode 5/S replaces the National Security Administration de-certified Mode 4 IFF capability, which is no longer effective or suitable for modern military operations. Mode 5/S will support the Joint Initial Operational Capability (IOC) as defined by the Joint Requirements Oversight Council. An In-Flight Refueling capability will allow the E-2D AHE to receive fuel from various organic and non-organic tanker aircraft. It provides Expanded Battle Space Surveillance and Targeting through significantly enhanced persistence and increased flexibility (range & endurance). IFR will better enable the E-2D AHE to fully support current Carrier Strike Group /Joint 24/7 Theater Operations by providing more versatile stationing and/or forward basing options. Previous domestic E-2 concept demonstration effort successfully established the feasibility of tanking behind the F/A-18E/F and KC-130 aircraft under E-2 Squadrons, PE 0204152N. Link-16 Crypto Modernization and frequency remap are required to satisfy the National Security Agency and Federal Aviation Administration mandates. E-2D AHE uses Link-16 to exchange and provide tactical information with other tactical units. The Link-16 Crypto Modernization and frequency remap effort requires the integration of a modified Multifunctional Information Distribution System - Low Volume Terminal (1) terminal and software modification to the E-2D AHE mission computer operational flight program. The Ultra High Frequency (UHF) Guard Radio allows the aircrew to monitor the emergency UHF Guard frequency without having to dedicate a specific radio, freeing that radio up for use in the tactical mission. Because of the UHF Tunable Filter Amplifiers, the ARC-210 radios cannot provide continuous UHF guard monitoring, although the internal guard receiver is operational. A separate UHF guard receiver is provided for monitoring the UHF guard (243 MHz) frequency. It is powered by the Guard switch located on the Communication/Control Display Unit Power Panel. FY2013 starts a Counter Electronic Attack (CEA) capability which will allow the E-2D radar system to maintain performance in an advanced hostile intentional electromagnetic interference environment. The E-2D CEA program will ensure E-2D effectiveness is maintained in an Electronic Attack environment supporting the NIFC-CA capability and overall Navy and Joint Integrated Air and Missile Defense strategy. FY2014 starts an E-2D Secret Internet Protocol Router (SIPR)Chat program. The SIPRChat capability will support integration of current collaboration tools including tactical "chat" (text) communications, real-time tasking, and Air Tasking Order distribution. Recent real world operations have demonstrated a migration of Command and Control communications from voice to Internet protocol based networks. FY2014 starts an effort to integrate the Tactical Targeting Networking Technology (TTNT) Advanced Tactical Data Link functionality into the E-2D. This effort includes replacing the Multifunctional Information Distribution System - Low Volume Terminal (MIDS LVT) radio with Multifunctional Information Distribution System - Joint Tactical Radio System (MIDS-JTRS) that has incorporated the TTNT. MIDS JTRS with TTNT is a key enabler for E-2D sensor netting capability in support of the NIFC-CA mission. FY2014 starts an Advanced Mid-Term Interoperability Improvement Program (AMIIP) to address the most severe data link related interoperability issues. This capability will significantly improve the quality of the tactical surveillance picture, reduce the possibility of leakers, mitigate Blue on Blue engagments and mid-identification of tracks. Provides stable sensor fusion foundation to support sensor/weapon coordination requirements.
