Shipboard Passive Electro-Optical Infrared Development
Abstract
Shipboard Passive Electro-Optical Infrared (SPEIR) Block I will be an open architecture system that addresses near-term capability requirements and associated gaps identified in the 2019 SPEIR Capability Development Document (CDD). This program answers an urgent counter unmanned aircraft system operational need for the Fleet to provide an initial capability by 2026. The SPEIR acquisition leverages technology developed under the Office of Naval Research's (ONR's) Combined EO/IR Surveillance and Response System (CESARS) Science and Technology (S&T) effort, specifically related to the Shipboard Panoramic EO/IR Cueing and Surveillance System (SPECSS). SPEIR Block I will provide a common 360-degree EO/IR Electronic Support (ES) capability to surface ships that will passively find, fix, track, and target current / emerging threats in support of the following warfare missions: Anti-Ship Cruise Missile (ASCM) Defense, Counter-Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS), Counter-Fast Attack Craft / Fast In-shore Attack Craft (FAC/FIAC), and Mobility. SPEIR Block I will consist of a passive Wide Field of View (WFOV) capability with a 360-degree field-of-view optical sensors for autonomous detection and tracking for 24/7 day/night shipboard situational awareness. SPEIR Block I will also include an enhanced, high resolution Narrow-Medium Field of View (NFOV) and laser range-finding capability that will provide 3D target tracking, identification, and threat assessment. SPEIR Block I will have limited integration with shipboard combat systems to exchange target track data and disseminate motion imagery. This program includes risk reduction initiatives for modeling and simulation, sensor protection counter-countermeasures, Sensor Fusion Algorithms and combat system track publishing to enable limited Combat System Integration (CSI). SPEIR Block II will be a future program that will build on the modular open system architecture of Block I to address longer-term capability requirements to include an expanded spatial coverage envelope, Periscope Detection and Discrimination (PDD) and Mine Like Object (MLO) avoidance. SPEIR Block II will also provide full combat system integration and will include a government software development and integration effort for Soft-Kill Coordination System (SKCS) to manage ES engagements. FY 2022 budget request of $63.947M provides for the first year of Engineering and Manufacturing Development (E&MD) efforts by the SPEIR prime contractor. This will include execution of System Requirements Review/System Functional Review (SRR/SFR) and Preliminary Design Review (PDR) as well as procurement of long lead material for Engineering Development Model (EDM) manufacturing. Other FY 2022 efforts will include continued development of the test and training programs required to verify and field a wholly new capability to the Fleet, as well as engineering efforts for ship and combat system integration to fully define related requirements and interfaces. Due to new start program delay in FY 2021, major prime contract award projection slipped from FY 2021 to FY 2022. To mitigate the delay, funding allocations were rebalanced between performers to accelerate Government Systems Engineering and Modeling & Simulation efforts to FY 2021 where technically feasible in order to maintain planned Initial Operating Capability of FY 2026.
