Description — Ship Missile Support Equipment
Ship Missile Support Equipment provides procurement and installation support to address fleet requirements for AEGIS Weapons System, Ships Self Defense System (SSDS), Vertical Launch Systems (VLS), NATO SEASPARROW Surface Missile System (NSSMS), Rolling Airframe Missile (RAM) Guided Missile Launching System (GMLS), Over The Horizon Weapon System (OTH WS), MK57 Vertical Launching System (VLS) Support Equipment, Integrated Combat system (ICS), and Counter Unmanned Aircraft System (C-UAS). Below are program descriptions for each of these programs along with top line funding summaries. Improved Stalker (I-Stalker) is the Independent Mount (IM) Improvement to the Stalker Long Range Electro-Optic Sensor System (SLREOSS) system in response to a 2016 United States Fleet Forces Command (USFFC) Operational Needs Statement (ONS). I-Stalker is currently fielded on CVN and LHA/LHD ship classes, and is planned for installation on the first 10 FFG Constellation Class Ships. I-Stalker provides the capability for 360-degree situational awareness and enhances the ability of ships to passively detect, classify, identify and determine intent of current/emerging surface and air threats in support of the following warfare missions: Surface/Air Recon, Counter-Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS), Counter-Fast Attack Craft / Fast Inshore Attack Craft (FAC/FIAC), Search & Rescue, Force Protection, and Mobility. I-Stalker, combined with the Navy-owned Situational Awareness System (SAwS), delivers an integrated radar and Electro Optic/Infrared (EO/IR) control and display suite. I-Stalker includes two (2) NSSMS MK6 MOD 4 LLLTV 4 LLLTV Independent Mount systems and one (1) SAwS. This combined system is referred to as the AN/SAY-3. I-Stalker requirements are transitioning from individual resource sponsor management to a total program level commensurate with the I-Stalker transition to a Program of Record (POR). For FY22 and prior years, I-Stalker funding is contained in BLI 5231. In FY24 and out, BLI 2981 contains funding from OPNAV N95 in support of LHA/LHD ship classes and OPNAV N98 in support of the CVN ship class. [P40A / NATO SEASPARROW]: [P40A / NATO SEASPARROW]: The NATO SEASPARROW Surface Missile System (NSSMS) is a shipboard Self-Defense Missile System. In addition to the standard mission of Anti-Air and Anti-Surface Defense (AAW, ASUW), NSSMS is designed to protect ship and crew from a variety of inbound threats, including Anti-Ship Cruise Missiles (ASCM), Fast Attack Craft/Fast Inshore Attack Craft (FAC/FIAC), Low Velocity Air Threats (LVAT), and a wide range of asymmetrical threats (e.g. Unmanned Aerial and Surface vehicles, small Rigid Hull Inflatable Boats, etc.). The legacy NSSMS configuration (MK57 MOD 2, 12/13, 14/15 and 16/17) consists of Fire Control and Launcher Systems comprised of 2-4 Directors, a distributed computing network, Transmitter Group, 3-5 Operating Consoles, and 2 Eight-Cell Guided Missile Launching Systems (MK29 GMLS) which employ the surface launch variant of the Sparrow (MK57 MOD 2/3) and ESSM (MK57 MOD 12/13, 14/15 and 16/17). In the MOD 12 and higher configuration, the MK57 NSSMS becomes part of the SSDS MK 2 Combat System. The fully integrated configurations of NSSMS are the MK57 MOD 12 and above configurations. A new transmitter replacement is in process to provide near term replacement of the obsolete MK73 Mod 3 Transmitter Group that can no longer be procured along with a Launcher replacement program required for fielding of ESSM BLK 2 missile capability integrated in an optimized fashion. This effort is intended to replace 1970's era MK 29 Guided Missile Launching System (GMLS) which is no longer producible. [P40A / Launcher Min-Mod BLK 2 Capability Upgrade]: With the change in the current Min Mod program technical approach additional engineering is required to provide ESSM Block 2 capability in Functional Compatibility to CVN/LHA/LHD ships. The line has been changed from Launcher Min-Mod BLK 2 Capability H/W to Launcher Min-Mod BLK 2 Capability Upgrade to better reflect what is being accomplished on this line. [P40A / MK57 Mod 14-19 Engineering]: Field Activity, design agent and industry will provide Hardware/Software engineering support for the modernization/upgrade of the NSSMS MK57 systems from various field activities including NSWC PHD, NSWC DD, Raytheon IDS.

[P40A - 3 / RAM Launchers]: Rolling Airframe Missile (RAM) is a cooperative program executed under a series of production Memorandums of Understanding between the U.S. and the Federal Republic of Germany. RAM is a high firepower missile used primarily to defeat Anti-Ship Missiles (ASMs) and other anti-air warfare threats with no dependence on ship's fire control illuminators for terminal guidance. The RAM missile is fired from the RAM Guided Missile Launching System (GMLS) (MK-49), which holds 21 rounds or from the Close-In Weapon System (CIWS) SeaRAM (MK-15) which holds 11 rounds. Both launching systems are compatible with various platforms ranging from USN aircraft carriers (CVN) to Littoral Combat Ship (LCS) to Guided Missile Destroyers (DDGs). The MK49 GMLS requires full integration within the ship's combat system. The SeaRAM system contains its own radar for detection and tracking enabling it to be employed with minimal ship combat system integration. FY26 funding supports the hardware procurement and installation of Ordnance Alterations (ORDALT) to address safety, obsolescence, and enable the firing of new missile variants and supports procurement and installation of launchers on in-service DDGs in accordance with recent Naval Capability Board decision to outfit the ARLEIGH BURKE class destroyers with increased terminal defense capabilities. For ORDALTs the hardware production lead time is 24 months and installations are executed in accordance with Ship Maintenance Availability Schedules. The FY26 procurements include the Firepower ORDALT and the Shock Hardening ORDALT. The Firepower ORDALT is necessary to employ the latest and most capable RAM Block 2B missile. The Firepower ORDALT also supports launcher readiness by addressing obsolescence of multiple components in the legacy configuration. The Shock ORDALT will address safety deficiencies identified during testing that could render the launcher inoperable in the event of a major ship shock event. For launchers the hardware production lead time is 30 months and installations are executed in accordance with Ship Maintenance Availability Schedules. FY26 RAM procurement quantities: (6) Firepower ORDALTs, (6) Shock Hardening ORDALTs, and (3) MK 49 GMLS. FY26 RAM installations: (4) Firepower ORDALTs, (4) Shock Hardening ORDALTs, and (3) MK 49 GMLS on in-service DDGs. [P40A - 4 / Ship Self Defense System]: The Ship Self Defense System (SSDS) is the core combat system control element for the Quick Reaction Combat Capability (QRCC) in aircraft carriers and amphibious assault ships, which defends against Anti-Ship Cruise Missiles (ASCM). Major changes from FY25 to FY26 are below: In FY25 the program is procuring 1 shipset (1 LPD), SSABTs for CVN, 1 Shore Site, 1 set of Shore Site MCE 2.0 cabinets and CAC2S Afloat hardware. The Program is installing 1 Shipset system (1 LPD), 1 Shore Site system and conducting Year 2 advanced planning* for 2 future (FY26) Ships installations, conducting Year 1 advanced planning* for 1 future Ship installations, conducting final checkout on 2 Ship and conducting advanced planning for 1 future (FY26) Shore Site installation and future MCE 2.0 Shore Site Installation. The Program is planning to conduct 1 CSSQT (LHD), conduct Year 2 CSSQT advanced planning* for 2 future CSSQT events (1 LPD and 1 LHD), conduct Year 1 CSSQT advance Planning for 1 future CSSQT event (LPD). In FY26 the program is procuring 1 shipset (LHD), 1 set of Shore Site internal components (GPNTS), and CAC2S afloat hardware. The program is installing 2 Shipsets (1 LHA and CVN), 1 Shore Site, 1 set of Shore Site MCE 2.0 cabinets and conducting Year 2 advanced planning* for 1 future Ships installation, conducting Year 1 advanced planning* for 1 future ship installation, conducting final checkout on 1 Ship. The Program is planning to conduct 2 CSSQT events (1 LHD and 1 LPD), Year 2 CSSQT advanced planning* for 1 future CSSQT event (1 LPD) and conduct Year 1 CSSQT advance Planning for 1 future CSSQT event (1 CVN). *Advanced Planning is done in each of the 2 years prior to an installation *Advanced Planning is done in each of the 2 years prior to a CSSQT event SSDS costs have increased as a result of transitioning to the new Computing Infrastructure configuration as well as material cost increases as the result of supply chain issues, engineering change implementation to address hardware component obsolescence and diminishing manufacturing sources. Ship Installation Cost, includes advanced planning in each of the 2 years prior to an installation, varies per year depending on the quantities of ships, the mix of ship classes, the configuration of the specific hull (i.e., CVN, LHD, LHA, LPD, or LSD) and the geographical location of the CNO availability (e.g., Bremerton, Norfolk, San Diego). Installation cost is significantly higher than advanced planning and can cause large variations between years. Recently, the installation cost has increased due to a) installations in non-traditional locations (e.g., Bremerton) driven by the Coast-wide bid process which causes extensive travel costs, b) Delays in delivery of Ship Installation Drawings, and c) scope changes during the modernization window. Further apparent cost "increases" are due to aligning modernization-related work such as Combat System documentation updates within the modernization budget. CSSQT cost per year varies depending on the number of CSSQT events conducted and the advanced planning required future CSSQT events. The cost also varies depending on the mix of ship classes (i.e., CVN, LHD, LHA, LPD, or LSD) in any given year and the CS weapons configuration. CSSQT events cost are significantly higher than advanced planning costs. SSDS Description: SSDS integrates a diverse set of fire control loop sensors and weapons and C4I systems for each ship class (CVN68, CVN78, LHA6, LHD1, LPD17, LSD41 and LSD49 ship classes). SSDS MK 2 provides the capabilities for integrated air and missile defense, multi-warfare situational awareness, combat direction, and joint interoperability via the Cooperative Engagement Capability (CEC) and Tactical Digital Information Link (TADIL)-J (Link 16). SSDS MK 2 fielding continues with the new construction carriers (CVN 78 class), new construction amphibious ships (LHA 6, LPD 17 classes) and modernizing in-service SSDS MK 2 carriers (CVN 68 Class) and amphibious ships (LPD 17, LHD 1 and LHA 6 Classes). SSDS MK 2 integrates new combat system warfighting capabilities and improvements on a phased basis via phased software Capability Packages and COTS hardware modernization. SSDS MK 2 increases operational capabilities, improves combat readiness and Strike Group and Expeditionary Strike Group interoperability including, the Fire Control Loop Improvement Project (FCLIP), Far-Term Interoperability Improvement Project (FTIIP), and Task Force Cyber Awakening (TFCA) Boundary Defense Capability. SSDS MK 2 equips back-fit LHDs and CVNs with an upgraded Combat System Display, Automatic Status Board (ASTABS), Remote ASTAB Controllers, peripheral control stations and Advanced Sensor Distribution System (ASDS), as well as the SSDS MK 2 computing equipment. Hardware computing infrastructure baselines implements Commercial-Off-The-Shelf (COTS) configurations to sustain system production and support the incorporation of new war-fighting capabilities (TI-16 Tech Refresh and Infrastructure as A Service Computing Infrastructure). Each individual ship is planned for a hardware computing infrastructure upgrade on an eight-to-ten-year interval to replace obsolescent COTS hardware, implement new technologies and support the fielding of these capabilities. Technology refresh of individual COTS components that are unprocurable or unsupported is handled on a case-by-case basis.
