Description
Mission — Air and Missile Defense Radar
The Air and Missile Defense Radar (AMDR) program consists of the AN/SPY-6(V) Family Of Radars (FoR): - AN/SPY-6(V)1 (DDG 51 Arleigh Burke class Flight III guided missile destroyer) - AN/SPY-6(V)2 (Nimitz class CVN, America class LHA, and San Antonio class LPD) - AN/SPY-6(V)3 (Ford class CVN, Constellation class FFG) - AN/SPY-6(V)4 (DDG 51 Arleigh Burke class Flight IIA guided missile destroyer backfit) AN/SPY-6(V)1 will provide multi-mission capabilities, simultaneously supporting both long range, exoatmospheric detection, tracking and discrimination of ballistic missiles, as well as Area and Self Defense against air and surface threats. For the Ballistic Missile Defense (BMD) capability, increased radar sensitivity and bandwidth over current radar systems are needed to detect, track and support engagements of advanced ballistic missile threats at the required ranges, concurrent with Area and Self Defense against Air and Surface threats. For the Area Air Defense and Self Defense capability, increased sensitivity and clutter capabilities are needed to detect, react to, and engage stressing Very Low Observable/Very Low Flyer (VLO/VLF) threats in the presence of heavy land, sea, and rain clutter. This effort provides for the development of an active phased array radar with the required capabilities to address the evolving threat. The AN/SPY-6(V) FoR will obtain performance and technology enhancements throughout their service life based upon an approach that includes modularity of hardware and software, a scalable design and Open Architecture (OA). AN/SPY-6(V)2 and (V)3 (Enterprise Air Surveillance Radar (EASR) will provide multi-mission capabilities, simultaneously supporting Air Traffic Control (ATC), situational awareness, and ship self-defense against Air and Surface threats. For these missions, increased clutter capability, short-range detection and tracking, and special weather waveforms are needed. AN/SPY-6(V)3 is the primary air surveillance radar supporting ship self-defense, situational awareness and Air Traffic Control (ATC) for Ford class CVNs. For other ship classes, AN/SPY-6(V)2 is the primary radar for self-defense and situational awareness with the ancillary role of supporting ATC by resolving SPN-50 mast blockage for ATC. AN/SPY-6(V)4 will provide Active Electronically Scanned Array (AESA) and digital beamforming technology for backfit to Flight IIA DDG. Backfit of SPY-6 technology on DDG 51 FLT IIA commences with non-recurring engineering efforts to scale the radar hardware and software; perform modeling and simulation to update the Concept of Operations (CONOPS),and enable SPY-6 Integrated Air and Missile Defense (IAMD) performance capabilities on FLT IIA DDGs. AN/SPY-6 Enhancements include Advanced Distributed Radar (ADR), High Efficiency High Powered Amplifier (HPA), Agnostic Signal Processing for Increased Radar Efficiency (ASPIRE) hardware development, second-source Radio Frequency (RF) Head, and Modeling and Simulation (M&S) in support of Combat System Test Beds, pivoting from software to hardware upgrades in FY25. ADR includes software enhancements that will enable multi-ship cooperative radar operations in order to support Distributed Maritime Operations (DMO) for the SPY-6 FoR. ADR transitions Receive Only Cooperative Radar (ROCR), Networked Cooperative Radar (NCR), and EMPIRE software capabilities from Office of Naval Research (ONR) to tactical development, implementation and testing. ADR software enhancements will increase radar detection performance for IAMD capabilities and enable operations with radars in receive-only mode in cooperation with other AN/SPY-6(V) radars. Agnostic Signal Processing for Increased Radar Efficiency (ASPIRE) effort will transition from ONR to address hardware options for more flexible digital beamforming, advanced signal processing, signal synthesizer architecture, and smaller digital receiver-exciter systems, resulting in efficiencies in radar size, weight, and power requirements as a key enabler to further enhance radar capabilities. HPA development will proceed and improve manufacturability and efficiency second source development to drive down costs. M&S efforts include support of Combat System and Enterprise Test Beds. The FY26 funding request supports the following efforts: SPY-6(V)1 integration efforts and associated development to support AEGIS Baseline 10 integration, advanced radar capability testing at the Advanced Radar Development Evaluation Laboratory (ARDEL), and integration with the AEGIS Virtual Test Environment (VTE). Integration efforts and associated development for AN/SPY-6(V)2 and (V)3 (Enterprise Air Surveillance Radar (EASR)) to integrate with Ship Self Defense System (SSDS) Baseline 12 and meet the performance requirements contained in the Battlespace Awareness Interface Control Document/Drawing (ICD). This includes continued testing at the Land Based Test Site and integration efforts with the SYY-1 Air Traffic Control System and Cooperative Engagement Capability. AN/SPY-6(V)4 FLT IIA backfit efforts will continue with land-based system testing at Advanced Radar Development Laboratory (ARDEL), combat system integration testing at Combat System Engineering Development Site (CSEDS), system-level requirements updates, software defect correction, SPY-6(V)4 power and hardware integration risk reduction testing, and developmental efforts leading to delivery of SPY-6(V)4 radar equipment to DDG 91 in FY26. SPY-6 enhancement efforts include integration and testing of second-source RF Heads, testing of the high efficiency HPA, and continued M&S efforts to support Combat System Test Beds.
