Abstract

A continuing need exists to improve Electronic Warfare support (EW) capabilities in view of the advancements in potential imaging counter detection and the increasingly dense electromagnetic environment caused by the proliferation of complex radar, communications, and navigation equipment of potential adversaries. Improvements are necessary for submarine EW to be operationally effective in the following mission areas: Joint Littoral Warfare, Joint Surveillance, Space and Electronic Warfare, Intelligence Collection, Maritime Protection, and Joint Strike. The evaluation of state-of-the-art technology to implement periscope/mast improvements via EW electromagnetic results in improved capability. Engineering Demonstration Models (EDMs) are developed, evaluated, and validated in the lab and through at-sea testing. The RDTE funding line supports development of capability improvements to submarine electronic surveillance measures that are used to detect, classify, localize, and record RADAR and Communications signals. The funding line also supports the specific development of high-speed digital networks and electronic attack demonstrations.
