Advanced Offboard EW
Abstract
3316 - The Advanced Offboard EW (AOEW) program is for the development of long duration off-board decoys integrated with onboard systems for EW coordination to counter identified EW gaps (additional details classified) in response to an urgent operational need from the Fleet that has been approved by the CNO for execution. Currently no counter to the threat exists. In FY12, the program began with a Rapid Response Effort (RRE) and a Decoy Development Effort (DDE) RRE development was completed in FY14. The RRE consisted of the evaluation and integration of commercially available decoys. The DDE consists of the development and evaluation of a long duration, active electronic offboard decoy system (payload) integrated on an existing flight vehicle (MH-60R/MH-60S), integration with ship and air systems, and a government software development effort to integrate AOEW into the Soft Kill Coordination System (SKCS) to gain maximum effectiveness from the decoy through coordination with an onboard system. The DDE Preliminary Design contract was awarded Dec 2016 followed by a System Requirements Review (SRR)/System Functional Review (SFR) leading to a Preliminary Development Review (PDR) all in FY17. The Engineering Manufacturing and Development (EMD) Option was awarded in Sep 2017. Following the arrival of Engineering Development Model (EDMs) the Factory Qualification Test (FQT) will be completed to support development testing and NAVAIR flight certification. Initial Operational Test & Evaluation (IOT&E) is planned in FY21 to support the Full Rate Production (FRP) decision in FY22. When the DDE Preliminary Design contract award shifted from June 2016 to Dec 2016, the EDM contract delivery requirements were re-phased to deliver the capability to the Fleet as soon as possible. MH-60R and MH-60S were originally scheduled to be integrated and flight tested in the same fiscal year (FY19), but integration and flight testing of the MH-60S has been shifted to FY21. The funding increase in FY19 is primarily due to system integration and certification testing for two platforms. AOEW requires integration into two separate host platforms, the MH-60R/S helicopter and the ship which drives additional software and testing requirements. In FY19, there is testing for both standard shipboard certification testing (NAVSEA) as well as flight certification testing (NAVAIR) related to system integration. Further, the program will fund the development of the software Avionics Operating Program (AOP) update to the helicopter and development of Soft Kill Coordinator Subsystem (SKCS) for integration with AN/SLQ-32(V)6. Additionally, material for the first four EDMs (1-4) will be purchased in FY19. Material for the remaining two EDMs (5-6) will be purchased in FY20. The integration to two platforms, helicopter and ship, coupled with the material purchase in FY19 drives the increased funding requirement.
