SQQ-89A(V)15 Surface Ship ASW Advanced Capability Build (ACB) Development
Abstract
Develop enhancements to the AN/SQQ-89A(V)15 Open System Architecture (OSA) via the integration of transformational technologies through an ACB spiral development process. Items include hull-mounted Acoustic Intercept (ACI) sensor, ACI performance predictions and signal injection capabilities, Marine Mammal Detection and Mitigation (MMDM) capability, hull array adaptive beamformer and towed array shape compensated beamformer improvements via the Beamformer Functional Segment (BFFS), Mid-Frequency Active (MFA) Cooperative Organic Mine Defense (COMID) mine avoidance upgrades, MFA rapid replay and multi-waveform tracker, Hull Passive Processing Functional Segment (HPPFS) improvements, Sensor Performance Prediction Functional Segment (SPPFS) improvements, Low Frequency Multi-Static Functional Segment (LFMFS) improvements, Undersea Warfare Control Functional Segment (UCFS) improvements, Supportability Functional Segment (SupFS) improvements, Recording Functional Segment (RecFS) improvements, Common System Services/Mission Package Services (CSS/MPS) improvements, full bandwidth towed array passive ASW and automated Torpedo Detection, Classification, and Localization (TDCL) algorithm improvements (active/passive) within the Torpedo Recognition and Alertment Functional Segment (TRAFS) necessary to extend detection ranges and reduce false alert/alarm rates, new Data Fusion Functional Segment (DFFS) sensor to reduce the number of displays required for system operation, Multi-Frequency Acoustic Communications (MF ACOMMS) development, integration of MH-60R mission systems with the AN/SQQ-89A(V)15 combat system, Extended Echo Ranging (EER) "Distant Thunder" integration into the AN/SQQ-89A(V)15 Surface Common Airborne Undersea Sensor System (CAUSS) Functional Segment airframe sensor processing suite, explosive source integration with AN/SQQ-89A(V)15 processes, simplification of displays and active processing, incorporation of all Improved Performance Sonar (IPS) and Scaled Improved Performance Sonar (SIPS) features, and a Sonar Logger capability to significantly reduce operator data logging requirements. These items will be integrated and delivered to the CG47 and DDG51 class AN/SQQ-89A(V)15 backfit production programs via ACB updates. Import advanced development capabilities from the submarine Advanced Processing Build (APB) and Acoustic Rapid Commercial-off-the-Shelf (COTS) Insertion (ARCI) projects. Resolve/troubleshoot issues/deficiencies that arise from the AN/SQQ-89(V) Surface Ship ASW Test & Evaluation program. Rapidly address and correct problems/deficiencies in processing, capability or operations within the following areas within the AN/SQQ-89(V) USW combat system architecture; sensor processing, acoustics, MMDM, fire control, contact management, performance prediction, operator productivity and on-board training, MFTA, Digital Fire Control Interface (DFCI), Remote Mine-Hunting System (RMS), MFA processing, and adaptive beamforming.
