Assault Survivability Optimization
Abstract
FY 2023 includes funding required to implement Multi-Layered Obstructed Brokered Hub (MOB Hub) and integrated Aircraft Survivability Equipment (iASE) capability for F/A-18 aircraft and to continue Common Carriage for USN aircraft platforms. MOB Hub iASE funding is for hardware/software redesign and qualification of the ALE-47 Programmer. This upgrade enables advanced expendable countermeasures to enhance countermeasure response, and provide additional battlespace awareness for own-ship, wingman and other mission participants. MOB Hub iASE replaces obsolete operational flight program and hardware, providing data to the gateway necessary for survivability in the current and future threat scenarios facing USN operational missions. Common Carriage and iASE ALE-47 program develops solutions to aircraft survivability gaps against current and future threat systems. Solutions address the Air Expendable Countermeasures (AECM) requirement for maintaining a portfolio of countermeasures capable of defeating current and advancing surface-to-air and air-to-air threat missile systems to include the development, testing, and rapid fielding of advanced countermeasures and enhanced employment techniques needed to support Fleet combat operations. Countermeasure dispensing techniques are developed using capability advancements tied to iASE investments by leveraging available sensor data from the iASE suite and aircraft data from the mission computer. Improved countermeasure dispense techniques are rapidly delivered to operational Fleet aircraft through Mission Data File updates via established software update processes. New expendable countermeasure technology developed in industry, by other DoD Components and through other R&D programs can be transitioned to AECM Program of Record to meet the required operational platform survivability without further investment in iASE systems. This Project also includes/enables survivability solutions using existing iASE data which improves situational awareness for own-ship, wingman, and distributed command and control. Resources will be applied to the following areas: 1) Studies and evaluations to optimize employment of current countermeasures and iASE capabilities. 2) Development and demonstration of advanced expendable countermeasures and countermeasure techniques. 3) Testing and evaluation of advanced countermeasures. 4) Development of system software enhancements and integration for the testing and deployment of advanced countermeasure techniques. 5) Development of and upgrades to modeling tools and specialized equipment required to conduct evaluation of advanced countermeasures against proliferating threats. Test assets include ALE-47 MOB/iASE programmers 15ea.
