(U) MISSION DESCRIPTION AND BUDGET ITEM JUSTIFICATION: The Submarine Support Equipment Program develops and improves submarine Electronic Warfare Support Measures (ESM) techniques and components, equipment, and systems that will increase submarine 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 and Intelligence Collection, Maritime Protection, and Joint Strike. The major efforts in this area are the Engineering and Manufacturing Development (EMD) of the Integrated ESM Mast (IEM), and the Periscope Monopulse Direction Finding (MDF) System for the Type 18 Periscope.
(U) The Submarine Sonar Improvement Program delivers block updates to Sonar Systems installed on SSN 688, 688I and TRIDENT Class Submarines to maintain clear acoustic, tactical and operational superiority over submarine and surface combatants in all scenarios through detection, classification, localization and contact following. Current developments are focused on supporting Littoral Warfare, Regional Sea Denial, Battle Group Support, Diesel Submarine Detection, Surveillance, and Peacetime Engagement.

PROGRAM ELEMENT TITLE: Submarine System Equipment Development
(U) The Submarine Integrated Antenna Systems (SIAS) project develops the antennas needed to communicate in networks such as Ultra High Frequency Satellite Communications, Extremely Low Frequency (ELF), Extremely High Frequency (EHF) and Global Positioning System. Hardware developments include: (a) mast-mounted systems; (b) buoyant cable systems; and (c) expendable buoy systems.
(U) The Submarine Tactical Communications Systems project provides attack submarines with an exterior communications system which: (a) minimizes the time required at communications depth; (b) enhances operability, reducing errors and manpower requirements; and (c) provides flexibility for low impact growth and change throughout the life of the submarine. Design efforts will provide increased antenna signal distribution and interconnection subsystems to accommodate ELF, EHF, and Mini-Demand Assigned Multiple Access and a message storage and processing subsystem.
(U) JUSTIFICATION FOR BUDGET ACTIVITY: This program is funded under ENGINEERING & MANUFACTURING DEVELOPMENT because it encompasses engineering and manufacturing development of new end-items prior to the production approval decision.

A. (U) MISSION DESCRIPTION AND BUDGET ITEM JUSTIFICATION: This program delivers block updates to Sonar Systems installed on SSN 688, 688I and TRIDENT Class Submarines to maintain clear acoustical, tactical and operational superiority over submarine and surface combatants in all scenarios through detection, classification, localization and contact following. Current developments, detailed below, are focused on supporting Littoral Warfare, Regional Sea Denial, Battle Group Support, Diesel Submarine Detection, Surveillance, and Peacetime Engagement. OPEVAL for AN/BQQ-5E and the TB-29 Array will complete in FY 1997; these will provide quantum improvements in long-range detection and localization for SSN 688 and TRIDENT Class Submarines. Engineering Change Proposal (ECP) 7001 to AN/BQQ-5E will provide Low Frequency Active Interference Rejection, Dual Towed Array Processing and Full Spectrum Processing to SSN 688 and TRIDENT Class Submarines. The Onboard Trainer is being developed to provide pierside and at-sea operational and team training to improve operator efficiency. The AN/BSY-1 ECP 1000 and the AN/BQQ-5 Medium Frequency Active Improvement (MFAI) program 2nd Improved Control Display Concole Obsolete Equipment Replacement have been modified to become the basis of the Acoustics Rapid COTS Insertion (A-RCI) program. A-RCI is a multi-phased, evolutionary development effort geared toward addressing the Acoustic Superiority issue through the rapid introduction of interim development products applicable to SSN 688, 688I Flight and SSBN 726 Class Submarines. A-RCI Phase I and II introduce towed array processing improvements; A-RCI Phase III introduces spherical array processing improvements. The AN/BSY-1 HF Upgrade is a stand-alone program which will be introduced as A-RCI Phase IV for SSN 688I only. Towed array development will focus on (a) tow cable improvements for shallow water towing; (b) reliability improvements for couplings, connectors, strength members and hoses for all module types, (c) hydrophone and telemetry cost reduction alternatives; and (d) development of a TB-16 multi-line towed array for improved performance in littoral water operations.
