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 MMSP on Destroyers Commercial Off The Shelf (COTS) refresh and MMSP technology refresh. MMSP/AEGIS Linear Processing System (ALPS) integration provides adjunct processing for data collection. The FY23 funding request supports development of MMSP including the commencement of technology refresh to support Aegis Modernization due to Diminishing Manufacturing Sources and Material Shortages (DMSMS) and obsolescence issues. MMSP-Restoration (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. Additionally, funding is required for technology development to support integration of ALPS into MMSP-R, continuation of MMSP-R development to support AEGIS modernization and ACB16 MMSP improvements, and MMSP-R Engineering Change Proposal (ECP)/Software updates.
