Scaled Onboard Electronic Attack
Abstract
3469 - Scaled Onboard Electronic Attack (SOEA) is an incremental development program added under PU 0954 by the USN to provide an advanced Electronic Attack (EA) capability against anti-ship missiles that initiates in FY24. The developmental efforts transition to a new project under PU 3469 for FY25 and FY26. SOEA will assimilate into the Surface Electronic Warfare Improvement Program (SEWIP) family of shipboard Electronic Warfare systems. The program is intended to be scalable for Surface Combatants with size, weight, power, and cooling (SWaP-C) constraints that cannot support AN/SLQ-32(V)7 (SEWIP Block 3) installation; however, it is not meant as a replacement for SLQ-32(V)7. SOEA development executes under a Middle Tier Rapid Prototyping acquisition strategy pursuant to Section 804 of the FY16 National Defense Authorization Act. SOEA's acquisition strategy consists of two phases: Rapid Prototyping and Rapid Fielding. SOEA Phase 1 includes prototyping of critical technology elements (CTEs) via the Defense Microelectronics Agency (DMEA) to prove out and validate critical performance capability, system architecture functionality, supportability requirements and improvements that build on the CTEs, update external interfaces for system and platform integration and incorporate software improvements. SOEA Phase 2 will be the fielding of the capability developed in Phase 1. The SOEA Middle Tier Acquisition (MTA) leverages technology developed by the Office of Naval Research's (ONR) and Naval Research Laboratory (NRL). SOEA will continue to expand the integrated shipboard combat system by providing new integrated EA capability. SOEA will be integrated with AN/SLQ-32(V)6. SOEA includes a government software development and integration effort for a Soft-Kill Coordinator System (SKCS) to manage EA engagements. The FY25 budget request for SOEA supports Rapid Prototype Development #1, #2, and #3 to prove out and validate critical performance capability, system architecture functionality, and supportability requirements; failure mode analyses and initiating development of the SOEA training modules of the Surface Electronic Warfare Tactical Trainer (SEWTT).
