Abstract
Currently finishing Air Warfare Ship Self Defense (AW SSD) testing on legacy SSDS Baseline 10 class ship, CVN 78 (TEMP 1714), and starting testing on follow on SSDS Baseline 12 ship classes, CVN 79, LHA 8, and LPD Flt II (TEMP 1910). This approach merges common ship, element, and system requirements into common infrastructure for combined Developmental and Operational Testing (DT/OT) of the Surface Navy antiship cruise missile (ASCM) defense requirement, expressed as a Probability of Raid Annihilation (PRA). Enterprise Testing characterizes system performance with live fire events and through Modeling & Simulation (M&S) assessments informed by live-fire demonstrations. Enterprise Cost elements: a) Enterprise Testing and Planning. SDTS and Lead Ship tracking and firing exercises are conducted against single- and dual-, subsonic and supersonic ASCM threat surrogates. Includes the contractor and government costs to administer the Enterprise, collect and distribute data from live events, maintain Cybersecurity certifications, and financial management. b) Self-Defense Test Ship (SDTS) Combat Systems. Includes procurement, installation, check-out, stage testing, routine preventive maintenance, and repairs of major combat system elements. c) Enterprise Testbed (ETB). Includes all M&S costs required to create OT-quality digital representations of shipboard combat system performance including infrastructure, distributed secure network, and common environmental services for DT/OT. SDTS testing requirements outlined in AW SSD Enterprise TEMP 1714 and lead/operational ship testing requirements for Evolved Sea Sparrow Missile (ESSM) TEMP 1471, Rolling Airframe Missile (RAM) Blk 2 TEMP 286-2, DDG 1000 TEMP 1560, CVN 78 TEMP 1610, Cooperative Engagement Capability (CEC) TEMP 1415, SSDS TEMP 1400, LHA 6 TEMP 1697, AN/SPQ-9B TEMP 1463, Surface Electronic Warfare Improvement Program (SEWIP) TEMP 1658 (Block 1A), and LCS TEMP 1695. The Testing &Evaluation Enterprise merges common ship, element, and system requirements into the fewest number of test events while leveraging planned Combat System Ship Qualification Trials (CSSQT) to accomplish Developmental Testing (DT) and Operational Testing (OT) requirements. All tests on the SDTS require the sharing of infrastructure, missile range allocations, execution time, and underway time to eliminate duplicative testing. T&E Enterprise provides end-to-end mission Operational Testing in a realistic operational environment, capitalizing on Probability of Raid Annihilation Modeling and Simulation (M&S) data validated with results of Operational and Live Fire Testing, and ensuring a consistent approach across ship classes. Applicability of all test events is beneficial across multiple ship classes with the same variation under test.
