Multi-Mission Signal Processor
Abstract
Multi-Mission Signal Processor (MMSP): The development of MMSP provides simultaneous Anti-Air Warfare (AAW)/Ballistic Missile Defense (BMD) multi-mission capability for DDG 51 class ships as part of the Aegis Modernization Program. This capability is utilized for DDG 113 and follow new construction and Aegis Ashore. Modifies SPY-1D transmitters to enable dual beam for reduced frame times and better reaction time, provides stability for all D(V) waveforms, and avoids operational degradation. The SPY-1 radar system detects, tracks, and supports engagements of a broader range of threats. MMSP improves performance in littoral, ducted clutter, electronic attack (EA), and chaff environments and provides greater commonality in computer programs and equipment. This effort also provides for the development of a Solid State Switch Assembly (SSSA) through an ONR/MANTECH project, MMSP on Destroyers Commercial Off The Shelf (COTS) refresh, MMSP technology refresh, radar capability upgrades, reliability improvements, and Ship-Based Non-Cooperative Target Recognition (SBNCTR). Initiate transition of Advanced Calibration Experiment (ACE) into Baseline (BL) 7.2. MMSP development includes the commencement of technology refresh to support Aegis Modernization due to Diminishing Manufacturing Sources and Material Shortages (DMSMS) and obsolescence issues. MMSP technology refresh includes the MMSP-Refresh (MMSP-R) beginning in FY16. MMSP-R includes software updates required on new computer platforms. Engineering efforts will be required to assess alternate technologies and determine optimal MMSP architectural solutions, which will include system security requirements. FY18 concludes MMSP on Destroyers COTS Refresh (ECPs), includes support for MMSP-R radar I&T and ACB16 Phase 0 certification.
