P-8A Spiral 2 Development
Abstract
The P-8A Increment 3 program consists of incremental enhancement Engineering Change Proposals (ECPs) to system capabilities that will retain cost-wise effectiveness for major combat operations. Increment 3 will incorporate improvements to aircraft systems including significant war-altering Anti-Submarine Warfare (ASW) capabilities of Enhanced Multi-Static Active Coherent (MAC) and ASW Signal Intelligence (SIGINT) which are enabled by the incorporation of Combat System hardware and architecture improvements, ASW and Anti-Surface Warfare (ASuW) sensor improvements, communication capability upgrades, ASuW Net Enabled Weapon (NEW), and Higher-Than-Secret (HTS) security capability. These capabilities will be developed as a series of ECPs for the P-8A and are as follows: - ECP 4 - Software upgrades to Narrowband SATCOM and Radar Targeting. (FIELDED) - ECP 5 - Net Enabled Weapon Data Link, High Frequency radio Internet Protocol (HF-IP), Integrated Broadcast Service (IBS) filtering, IBS receiver, and Harpoon II+. - ECP 6 - ASW SIGINT, Anti-Submarine Warfare (ASW) capability, Wide Band SATCOM, Higher Than Secret (HTS) processing, Enhanced track management (Minotaur), Applications Based Architecture (ABA) and Combat System. - ECP 7 - Enhanced Multi-Static Active Coherent (MAC). To expedite fielding capability to the P-8A Fleet, ECPs 4, 5, and 6 are executed concurrently as these capabilities are independent of one another. However, Enhanced MAC (ECP 7) is reliant on ECP 6's Combat System hardware and architecture to operate on the P-8A. Both ECP 6 and ECP 7 are integrated via the Platform Integration contract planned to be awarded in FY2018. Enhanced MAC (ECP 7) is developed within Program Element (PE) 0604261N and integrated via the Platform Integration contract within this PE. Note: This PE has been re-phased due to Congressional reductions imposed through FY2017 and pending in FY2018.
