Improved Capabilities SPY-1 Radar

Abstract

Improved Capabilities for SPY-1 Radar: These Reliability, Maintainability, and Availability (RM&A) improvements and solid state technology insertions are intended to reduce cascading failures, mitigate obsolescence issues, and improve reliability in support of Anti-Air Warfare (AAW) and Ballistic Missile Defense (BMD) missions while still providing AN/SPY-1 Radar Total Ownership Cost Reductions. Improvements such as Solid State Insertion will yield reductions in annual fleet maintenance costs and is a top fleet requirement as part of the AEGIS Wholeness initiative. In addition to RM&A improvements, warfighting improvements funded in this line include: Transmitter Noise Cancellation (TNC) development will include hardware/software to counter low radar cross section, low altitude threats. Side Lobe Blanking (SLB) addresses shortfalls in mixed electronic attack environment while in an Integrated Air and Missile Defense (IAMD) mode. The Ship-Based Non-Cooperative Target Recognition (SBNCTR) program will develop algorithms to provide classification for targets. Transition of Advanced Calibration Experiment (ACE) from Baseline 7 into Baseline 9. Electronic Attack (EA) and Rapid Radar Capability Improvement Program (R2CIP) develop solutions for evolving EA threats. FY18 includes the continuation of development for ACE Phase 1, SBNCTR Phase 2, TNC, EA improvements, and 10KW Amp/CFA Solid State GaN.
