(U) MISSION DESCRIPTION AND BUDGET ITEM JUSTIFICATION: The Submarine Tactical Warfare Systems program element is comprised of the Advanced Submarine Support Equipment Program and the Submarine Special Operations Support Development Program. The overall goal of the program is to improve submarine operational effectiveness through the development of advanced Research and Development (R&D) and Electronic Support Measures (ESM) technologies. The goal of the Advanced Submarine Support Equipment Program (ASSEP) is to increase submarine operational effectiveness through improvements in electronic warfare (i.e., threat warning, over-the-horizon targeting, and expanded tactical reconnaissance). A continuing need exists to improve submarine capabilities in the increasingly dense and sophisticated electromagnetic environment caused by the proliferation of complex radar, communications, and navigation equipment of potential adversaries.The Submarine Special Operations Support Development program responds to the increased threat of Naval activity in the Littorals and the continuing threat of submarine and surface ship activity in regions of the world through the development of advanced submarine R&D technology to provide improved operational capability in shallow water regions. Particular emphasis is placed in the areas of sonar operability and maintainability, Littoral operations, mine warfare, tactical surveillance, and other submarine support missions. Efforts include assessment of combat system effectiveness, development of Arctic shallow water specific improvements for existing sonars, development of class specific Arctic operational guidelines and the testing of ice-capable submarine support structures. This program also provides the framework for various R&D programs to conduct Test and Evaluation in shallow water and Arctic regions.
(U) JUSTIFICATION FOR BUDGET ACTIVITY: This program is funded under DEMONSTRATION & VALIDATION because it develops and integrates hardware for experimental test related to specific ship or aircraft applications.

A. (U) MISSION DESCRIPTION AND BUDGET ITEM JUSTIFICATION: This program develops submarine ESM equipment technology. A continuing need exists to improve submarine capabilities in these areas to enhance operational effectiveness in the increasingly dense and sophisticated electromagnetic environment caused by the proliferation of complex radar, communications, and navigation equipment of potential adversaries. Improvements are necessary for submarine ESM to be effective in conducting the following mission areas: Joint Littoral Warfare, Joint Surveillance, Space and Electronic Warfare, Intelligence Collection, Maritime Protection and Joint Strike. Specific efforts include development of: Radar Cross Section Reduction (RCSR) Techniques, Periscope Monopulse Direction Finding (MDF) System, Sensor Technology Insertion Program (STIP), and ESM Technology Insertion Program (ESMTIP). The RCSR evaluates the vulnerability of submarine masts, periscopes and sensors to radar and infrared threats and evaluates the state of the art in radar absorbent material, resulting in potential periscope/mast engineering improvements to reduce the counter-detection threat. The MDF system is an improvement to the Type 18 Periscope which will allow the ESM system to discriminate and identify complex radar signals using direction of arrival as a primary sorting parameter. The STIP and ESMTIP programs develop submarine unique improvements to mast, periscope and hull mounted ESM electromagnetic and electro-optic sensors based on emerging technologies that are available from DOD Exploratory Development Programs, industry Independent Research and Development, and other sources. Feasibility demonstration models (FDMs) are developed to provide a realistic method of evaluating the improvements , including deployment on submarines for testing. STIP projects include: Laser detection and warning; radio frequency (RF) extensions; RF bandwith improvements; passive localization; upgrades to the Photonics Mast sensors and software; and advanced antenna arrays for beam steering and high resolution direction finding enhancements.
A. (U) MISSION DESCRIPTION AND BUDGET ITEM JUSTIFICATION: ESMTIP projects include: improvements to signal sorting and recognition methods to support classification and identification of ESM contacts encountered during Littoral operations;
signal processing improvements for processing of low probability of intercept signals; voice/language recognition and human/machine interface (HMI)enhancements. Starting in FY 95 all programs funded in this project are non-acquisition category programs in accordance with NAPDD # 428-87.
