FY 2025 to FY 2026 Budget Increase ($+9.788M) Reflects the Net Effect of the Following: $-5.859M Decrease to AN/SQQ-89 Core Program Funding/Requirements in FY 2026 $+15.647M Realignment/Merge of OPN BLI 2176 USW Support Funding/Requirements Into OPN BLI 2136 Starting in FY 2026 Effective FY 2026, OPN Budget Line Item (BLI) 2136 absorbed all OPN BLI 2176 Undersea Warfare (USW) Support Equipment Aircraft Carrier Tactical Support Center (CV-TSC), Sonar Dome Rubber Window (SDRW), and Undersea Warfare Decision Support System (USW-DSS) funding/programs in support of the Program Element (PE)/BLI consolidation initiative prescribed within the 'DoD Implementation Plan from the Commission on Planning, Programming, Budgeting and Execution (PPBE) Reform Final Report', to facilitate the effort to rapidly increase Navy Lethality in the Submarine and Surface Fleet. OPN Budget Line Item (BLI) 2136 consists of four separate and distinct programs, the OPNAV N96 sponsored AN/SQQ-89 Surface Anti-Submarine Warfare (ASW) Combat System program, the OPNAV N98 sponsored Aircraft Carrier Tactical Support Center (CV-TSC) program, the OPNAV N96 sponsored Sonar Dome Rubber Window (SDRW) program, and the OPNAV N2N6 sponsored Undersea Warfare Decision Support System (USW-DSS) program. 1. AN/SQQ-89 Surface ASW Combat System (Cost Codes DB400/DB830/DB900/DB6IN): In support of the National Security Strategy (NSS), National Defense Strategy (NDS), and National Military Strategy (NMS), Anti-Submarine Warfare (ASW) remains a Navy core competency in a dynamic and uncertain maritime environment. U.S. adversaries continue to develop asymmetric capabilities and capacities to deter, disrupt, or delay the entry of U.S. and allied naval forces, and pose a constant challenge as the Maritime Strategy is implemented. Evolving submarine technologies offer enhanced stealth, speed, endurance, weapons, and operational proficiency, trends foretelling that the adversary submarine of the future will have a significantly larger sphere of influence, while presenting less vulnerability to ASW forces. The effective offensive engagement range of the adversary submarine of the future will continue to match or outrange individual U.S. and multinational platform sensors and weapons in many tactical environments. Submarines are an increasing threat to all Naval and Allied ships, particularly modern diesel and state-of-the-art nuclear submarines, and faster, more accurate torpedoes. Not only can the presence of potential hostile submarines delay naval combatant action until they are located and neutralized, submarines can also disrupt all seaborne logistics supply for any ground campaign as well as maritime commerce. ASW forces must be effective in all operating environments, ranging from the deep open ocean to the littorals, and are key to countering adversarial anti-access and area denial strategies. The AN/SQQ-89(V) Surface Ship ASW Combat System provides integrated Undersea Warfare (USW) combat management, fire control, command and control, and on-board training to enable surface combatants to engage USW targets in both open ocean and littoral environments. The AN/SQQ-89(V) is a system comprised of many subsystems, which integrate the helo and its sensors, the ship's own organic sensors, weapons, torpedo detection, and a high-fidelity Surface ASW Synthetic Trainer (SAST). Variants of the AN/SQQ-89(V) are currently in operation on in-service CG47 and DDG51 Class Surface Combatants. AN/SQQ-89A(V)15 Surface Ship ASW Combat System Upgrade: A major upgrade to the AN/SQQ-89(V) legacy system, the AN/SQQ-89A(V)15 significantly decreases ship vulnerability to torpedo attack, improves surface ship USW lethality, and mitigates Commercial-Off-The-Shelf (COTS) obsolescence and supportability issues. The need for the AN/SQQ-89A(V)15 is articulated in Operational Requirements Document (ORD) #667-76-05 titled 'AN/SQQ-89 Improvement Program'. The AN/SQQ-89A(V)15 upgrade is programmed for backfit on: Select CG47 Class Baseline 3 and 4 (CGs 59-73) ships budgeted under OPN BLI 0960 (Cruiser Modernization); DDG51 Class Flight I/II (DDGs 51-78) ships budgeted under OPN BLI 0900 (DDG Modernization) and OPN BLI 2136 (represented here); and DDG51 Class Flight IIA and onward via OPN BLI 2136 (for DDGs 79-132 represented here) and SCN BLI 2122 (DDG51 Class Forward Fit for DDGs 133 and follow). The AN/SQQ-89A(V)15 upgrade, developed under the RDT&EN Program Element (PE) 0205620N Project 1916 Surface ASW System Improvement program, capitalizes on previously fielded AN/SQQ-89(V) systems. The AN/SQQ-89A(V)15 is comprised of a tactical towed array sensor, the Multi-Function Towed Array (MFTA), and replaces standard, militarized, legacy components with Commercial-Off-The-Shelf (COTS) hardware. The AN/SQQ-89A(V)15 features hull/towed Sonar Echo Tracker Classifier (ETC); hull/towed Sonar with Acoustic Intercept (ACI) fused data for significantly improved torpedo defense; Handling & Stowage Group (H&SG) for MFTA operation; Torpedo Setting Panel (TSP); passive towed array processing; common sub/surface sensor performance and prediction; common NAVAIR/Surface Light Airborne Multi-Purpose System (LAMPS) processing; portable software; integrated supportability; and on-board training via the Surface ASW Synthetic Trainer (SAST). The AN/SQQ-89A(V)15 is interoperable with AEGIS Weapons System (AWS) baselines; is Open Architecture (OA) compliant (meeting OA Level 3 requirements); provides significant reductions in weight, space, cooling, and power requirements over legacy AN/SQQ-89(V) systems; is Grade A shock qualified; supports Digital Fire Control Integration (DFCI) capability; and is integrated with the Battle Force Tactical Trainer (BFTT). AN/SQQ-89A(V)15 Technology Insertion/Refresh and Technology Insertion/Refresh Build-In-Place: To be effective against increasingly stealthy threats in an ambiguous undersea environment, future sensors must be environmentally adaptive, have very low false alarm rates, and exploit the full range of current and future submarine detection vulnerabilities. Via the Advanced Capability Build (ACB) process under RDT&EN PE 0205620N Project 1916, these types of maturing/proven USW technologies will be folded into the AN/SQQ-89A(V)15 production and future technology insertion/refresh and build-in place backfit programs. Leveraging the submarine community's Acoustic Rapid Commercial-off-the-Shelf (COTS) Insertion (ARCI) process, the AN/SQQ-89A(V)15 Technology Insertion/Refresh program procures upgraded software/hardware technology for all DDG51 Class surface combatant platforms with a previously fielded AN/SQQ-89A(V)15. This process has proven to manage obsolescence, take advantage of commercial development efforts, and continue to pace the threat to ensure systems remain effective well into the 21st century. Additionally, studies of the submarine and surface ASW technology show that system upgrades are most critical five to nine (5 to 9) years after each AN/SQQ-89A(V)15 installation, as failure rates within this period begin to rise. Establishing a stable technology refresh program ensures the Fleet maintains critical Undersea Warfare capability (threat-pacing improvements) and productivity (Increased Operational Availability (Ao)) while reducing the Total Ownership Cost (TOC) to the Navy. AN/SQQ-89A(V)15 YEAR-TO-YEAR FUNDING PROFILE FROM PROCUREMENT TO INSTALL: 1st Budget Year - Procurement of equipment. 2nd Budget Year - Ordering of incidental installation material and performance of mandatory advance planning yard design tasks and ship checks, which are required to be budgeted in the year *prior* to the physical installation of equipment. These installation costs are depicted in the P-3a exhibit with a quantity of "0". 3rd Budget Year - Installation of equipment. An average, aggregate AN/SQQ-89A(V)15 shipset unit cost is comprised of multiple contract/funding vehicles. Additionally, these unit costs can vary as they are dependent on the pre-existing legacy AN/SQQ-89(V) configuration of each ship. 2. Aircraft Carrier Tactical Support Center (CV-TSC) (Cost Code DB301): In support of the National Security Strategy (NSS), National Defense Strategy (NDS), and National Military Strategy (NMS), the AN/SQQ-34 Aircraft Carrier Tactical Support Center (CV-TSC) program delivers Anti-Submarine Warfare (ASW) and Surface Warfare (SUW) combat capability to the Aircraft Carrier supporting Aircraft Carrier, Nuclear power (CVN) Tactical Action Office (TAO) and embarked Carrier Strike Group (CSG) Sea Combat Commander. The program provides validation and certification of Engineering Changes (ECs) fielded on CVNs and provides hardware/software changes/upgrades developed under CV-TSC RDT&EN Program Element (PE) 0603512N Project 3216 to previously fielded and in-production CV-TSC systems required to correct deficiencies identified through Fleet use, upgrade unreliable/unsupportable components, replace obsolete components, and resolve Information Assurance (IA) issues. The program maintains interoperability with current and future interfaces to stay within the current performance envelope, supports mission data exchange, improves ASW/SUW track/sensor processing and analysis techniques, improves mission planning, improves data recording, reconstruction, and distribution, improves embedded simulation and training capabilities and implements cyber-security measures to effectively employ overall CVN Self Ship Defense System (SSDS) capabilities. CV-TSC integrates sensor data from organic Aircraft (MH-60R), organic platform sensors and tracks via Ship Self Defense System Product Line Architecture (PLA) and non-PLA, Link-16 track data, Global Command and Control System (GCCS) Over-the-Horizon track data, and Environmental and Threat Databases to assess the threat and assist the Tactical Action Officer and Carrier Strike Group to effectively employ overall CVN self-defense capabilities. CV-TSC generates real-time ASW/SUW information and recommendations, tactical planning and employment of ASW/SUW assets, ASW/SUW sensor data processing and analysis, and distribution of tactically significant data. Aircraft supported include: MH-60R/S Seahawk, P-8 Poseidon, MQ-4C Triton, and future ASW/SUW non-organic supporting platforms. 3. Sonar Dome Rubber Window (SDRW) (Cost Code DB401): In support of the National Security Strategy (NSS), National Defense Strategy (NDS), and National Military Strategy (NMS), AN/SQS-53 Sonar Dome Rubber Windows (SDRWs) are installed on all CG47 and DDG51 class ships (Initial Capabilities Document (ICD) for ASW, AN/SQQ-89(V) Operational Requirements Document (ORD) (#667-76-05 dated August 2005). This program provides emergency replacement, wire-reinforced, pressurized rubber acoustic windows and attachment hardware, which experience failure due to corrosion, fatigue, and impact damage. Ships with a severely damaged SDRW need to be dry-docked, so continually monitoring status of SDRWs and maintaining a ready inventory of replacement assets is a priority in order to keep ships on mission. The SDRW significantly improves the surface ship sonar performance by reducing flow-induced self-noise and by providing increased source level receiving and sensitivity resulting from reduced attenuation. This program provides production engineering in support of technical evaluations, failure analysis, implementation of the in-water one-side backscatter X-ray program, Government Furnished Equipment (GFE) refurbishments of production systems and field service engineering; and completion of engineering design work and material tests. This program also provides drawings, configuration management information, incorporation of new design and fabrication technology, incorporation of lessons learned and required testing, and constructs sub-elements to confirm single-stage cure of the SDRW production process. 4. Undersea Warfare Decision Support System (USW-DSS) (Cost Code DB601): In support of the National Security Strategy (NSS), National Defense Strategy (NDS), and National Military Strategy (NMS), USW-DSS is the Navy Program of Record ASW Command and Control (C2) Net-Centric system supporting the warfighter. USW-DSS provides an integrated, near-real time, net-centric ASW Common Tactical Picture (CTP) and Common Operational Picture (COP) for the Carrier Strike Groups (CSGs). USW-DSS is a C2 capability identified in the ASW Initial Capabilities Document (ICD), for the Sea Combat Commander (SCC) and Theater USW Commander (TUSWC). USW-DSS enables effective planning and execution of Undersea Warfare (USW) operations, optimizes placement of sensors for exploitation of the environment, manages available resources, balances operations versus risk, and provides a clear vulnerability assessment of the operational environment. USW-DSS shortens C2 decision processes for detection-to-engagement across multiple platforms, including those with low bandwidth communications or intermittent connectivity. Tactical data such as tracks, environmental, and sensor processing data is ingested into USW-DSS through platform specific interfaces such as the AN/SQQ-89(V) Surface Ship ASW Combat System, the Global Command and Control System - Maritime (GCCS-M), and Aircraft Carrier Tactical Support Center (CV-TSC). USW-DSS processes this and other tactical data and supports intelligent dissemination of the data to unit level and theater level platforms in support of an enhanced USW tactical picture. USW-DSS provides USW Commanders with an expanded, net-centric USW collaborative capability across CSG platforms (CVNs, CGs, DDGs) as well as supporting shore nodes to include: Theater Undersea Warfare Command Headquarters (TUSWCHQ), the Naval Oceanographic Processing Facility (NOPF), and Tactical Operations Center (TOC) and Mobile Tactical Operations Center (M-TOC). On afloat platforms, USW-DSS processing software is virtualized for portability and is hosted on the Integrated Shipboard Network System (ISNS) and Consolidated Afloat Networks and Enterprise Services (CANES) systems and implements a Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) with display generation and operator interfaces provided via USW-DSS hardware. For support and ashore nodes, USW-DSS processing software is hosted on Commercial Off The Shelf (COTS) hardware. USW-DSS capability improvements are phased to deliver timely and cost-effective software improvements to the warfighter via the Build / Fleet Capability Release (FCR) process funded under the USW-DSS RDT&EN Program Element (PE) 0604518N Project 3094 development program, for transition and fielding via the USW-DSS OPN BLI 2136 program. USW-DSS procurements are installed on CSG platforms and supporting shore nodes via permanent Ship Alterations (SHIPALTs). Workstation procurements are required to support ISNS and CANES configured ships as well as shore nodes.

This line also reflects the additional requirement, also commencing in FY 2024, to upgrade legacy USW-DSS Build 2 Revision 3 (B2R3) systems to the Build 3 baseline. The USW-DSS Build 3 system is more complex and incorporates additional tactical data links than the legacy B2R3 baseline. Build 3 data is shared at the general services Secret and Top-Secret level, creating additional complexity. This expanded list of tactical data allows for better communication and expanded data fusion for ship-to-ship, ship-to-shore, shore-to-shore, and shore-to-aircraft information sharing. These added tactical data links require additional effort to establish and validate during system delivery. NOTE: The FY 2025 (Qty 4 shown under OPN BLI 2176) to FY 2026 (Qty 21 shown under OPN BLI 2136) increase in the number of TASW Build Out units procured reflects the ramp-up of USW-DSS Build 3 baseline systems required to be delivered to afloat CVNs, DDGs, and FFGs in FY 2026. USW-DSS is a tool for ship-to-ship and ship-to-shore collaborative Theater ASW and benefits from having multiple ships in a strike group with the same capability. The quantity ramp-up in FY 2026 reflects the desire to build the critical mass of USW-DSS Build 3 equipped ships to support collaborative Theater ASW ahead of the Davidson Window in FY 2027. Additionally, USW-DSS Build 3 requires an upgraded CANES configuration baseline (Hardware 3 / Software 5) and a more modern version of Agile Core Services. In FY 2026, the availability of upgraded CANES configuration baselines to support the hosting of USW-DSS Build 3 are more widespread, leading to an increase in planned quantities.

[P3A - 4 / AN/SQQ-89A(V)15 - TECHNOLOGY INSERTION/REFRESH]: See the following: AN/SQQ-89A(V)15 - TECHNOLOGY INSERTION/REFRESH - COST CODE DB400 PROCUREMENT: Leveraging the submarine community's Acoustic Rapid Commercial-off-the-Shelf (COTS) Insertion (ARCI) process, the AN/SQQ-89A(V)15 Technology Insertion/Refresh program procures upgraded software/hardware technology for all DDG51 Class surface combatant platforms with a previously fielded AN/SQQ-89A(V)15 with a Technical Insertion-12 (TI-12+) production baseline configuration or lower (TI-09 through TI-12+). These technology insertion/refreshes have proven to minimize COTS obsolescence issues, take advantage of commercial development efforts, and continue to pace the threat to ensure AN/SQQ-89A(V)15 Surface Anti-Submarine Warfare Combat Systems remain effective well into the 21st century. Studies of the submarine and surface ASW technology have shown that system technology refreshes are most critical 5-9 years after installation of the latest fielded version of the AN/SQQ-89A(V)15, as failure rates within this period begin to rise. Establishing a stable technology refresh program will ensure the Fleet maintains critical ASW and Undersea Warfare capability (threat-pacing improvements) and productivity (Increased Operational Availability (Ao)) while reducing the Total Ownership Cost (TOC) to the Navy. Shipset procurement costs reflect the addition/inclusion of Hypervisor Technology 0 (HT0) and Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) technology advancement hardware/software. HT0 allows for the employment of virtual software, creating a separation between hardware and software to make both agnostic to one another, which serve to simplify future upgrades. HT0 also supports the transition to IaaS which builds on the virtualization of software by utilizing a common infrastructure. Unlike the Build-In-Place (BIP) technology refresh planned for AN/SQQ-89A(V)15 TI-14 and follow production baselines, the TI-12+ and prior production baselines will also require the procurement of new equipment racks to host the HT0 and IaaS technology advancements. AN/SQQ-89A(V)15 - TECHNOLOGY INSERTION/REFRESH - COST CODE DB6IN INSTALLATION: Funding is for the physical installation of the AN/SQQ-89A(V)15 Technology Insertion/Refresh upgrade, and the ordering of incidental installation material and the Design Services Allocation (DSA) efforts required for mandatory planning yard design tasks and ship checks that must be completed within the one year period leading up to the actual installation in the shipyard. NOTE: Increases to physical installation costs shown in FY 2026 and follow factor in adjustments made to reflect the following cost drivers: The transition of hot work (i.e. welding) from Alteration Installation Teams (AITs) to shipyards; an increased reliance on AIT subject matter expertise to address shipyard installation deficiencies and schedule impacts via Condition Found Reports (CFRs); increased effort required to resolve System Installation Drawings (SID) deficiencies; fact-of-life increases associated with the prioritization of modernizations to be completed on outside-CONUS Forward-Deployed Naval Forces (FDNF) hulls (increased travel costs), HAZMAT disposition, and increased personnel requirements to accommodate shorter installation availability durations. [P3A - 5 / AN/SQQ-89A(V)15 - TECHNOLOGY INSERTION/REFRESH - BUILD-IN-PLACE]: See the following: AN/SQQ-89A(V)15 - TECHNOLOGY INSERTION/REFRESH - BUILD-IN-PLACE - COST CODE DB400 PROCUREMENT: Leveraging the submarine community's Acoustic Rapid Commercial-off-the-Shelf (COTS) Insertion (ARCI) process, the AN/SQQ-89A(V)15 Technology Insertion/Refresh - Build-In-Place program procures upgraded software/hardware technology for all DDG51 Class surface combatant platforms with a previously fielded AN/SQQ-89A(V)15 with a Technology Insertion-14 (TI-14) production baseline configuration or higher.

HT0 also supports the transition to IaaS which builds on the virtualization of software by utilizing a common infrastructure. AN/SQQ-89A(V)15 TI-14 and above production baselines have a consistent architecture and similar configuration which allows a similar strategy that submarine Acoustic Rapid Commercial Off The Shelf (COTS) Insertion (ARCI) programs employ in order to retain equipment racks and upgrade processing, storage, and network capacity onboard the platform during installation. AN/SQQ-89A(V)15 - TECHNOLOGY INSERTION/REFRESH - BUILD-IN-PLACE - COST CODE DB6IN INSTALLATION: Funding is for the physical installation of the AN/SQQ-89A(V)15 Build-In-Place Technology Insertion/Refresh upgrade, and the ordering of incidental installation material and Design Services Allocation (DSA) efforts required for mandatory planning yard design tasks and ship checks that must be completed within the one year period leading up to the actual installation in the shipyard. Physical installation costs shown factor in the following cost drivers: The transition of hot work (i.e. welding) from Alteration Installation Teams (AITs) to shipyards; an increased reliance on AIT subject matter expertise to address shipyard installation deficiencies and schedule impacts via Condition Found Reports (CFRs); increased effort required to resolve System Installation Drawings (SID) deficiencies; fact-of-life increases associated with the prioritization of modernizations to be completed on outside-CONUS Forward-Deployed Naval Forces (FDNF) hulls (increased travel costs), HAZMAT disposition, and increased personnel requirements to accommodate shorter installation availability durations.
