- Intellian Antenna (formerly Inmarsat) Engineering Change Proposal (ECP) replaces obsolete and end-of-life (EOL) antenna. This antenna fulfills a High Gain Aperture requirement across the fleet as well as
expandability to GX coverage and availability to interchangeable Radio Frequency (RF) modules to support current Concept of Operations (CONOPs). This antenna will also increase Department of Defense's
(DoD's) cybersecurity posture while ensuring all Ships Signal Exploitation Equipment (SSEE) systems and their components operate with latest supported hardware.
- Mission Module and ECP capabilities integrated into the SSEE Family of Systems (FoS) will enable maritime power projection by providing surface vessels the ability to disrupt, deny, degrade and defeat
adversary (state and non-state) use of the radio frequency spectrum, improving the Fleet's ability to communicate and operate therein. These systems will be deployed supporting Assured Command and Control,
Battlespace Awareness, and Integrated Fires.
- The Navy Tactical Data Network (NTDN) is a cybersecurity initiative enabling National/Tactical Integration with U.S. Navy Surface Cryptologic Systems by deploying NSAnet afloat with special SIGINT
processing capabilities, enterprise services, and a mission data repository allowing automated synchronization with (National Security Agency (NSA) databases. This ECP will back-fit force-level SSEE Increment
F(V)1/2 systems as well as integrating the shore component with CLASSIC REACH. NTDN Network & Information Technology (IT) infrastructure (afloat & shore) that will be connected to the Automated Digital
Network System (ADNS) Increment 3 Routers, Switch, Tac Lane, Wide Area Network (WAN) Optimizer, & Server, Cross Domain Solutions (CDS) appliance between NTDN and SCI-Networks, Certification and
Accreditation of SSEE FoS on peer-intranet NSA enclave afloat. In addition, an NTDN shore component will be deployed to support data flow to/from appropriate NSA data bases.
- Blade Kits address IBM/Lenovo server replacement (IBM servers have been sold to Lenovo, a foreign owned company).
[P3A / SSEE Increment F (All Variants)]: The SSEE Increment F (All Variants) program is an incremental acquisition, Commercial Off-The-Shelf/Government Off-The-Shelf (COTS/GOTS) program designed
as the building block to improve the Information Warfare (IW) exploitation / IO / non-kinetic and subsequent tactical cryptologic capability across Navy surface combatant platforms. SSEE Increment F and
its variants provides the afloat IW / cryptologist with IO / non-kinetic capabilities and subsequent threat identification and analysis of Communications Intelligence as well as queuing of radio direction finding
assets. Equipment includes receivers, Radio Frequency management systems, recorders, audio distribution systems, computers, antennas and ancillary hardware. The system is upgraded incrementally as
improvements are developed. The system design permits the rapid insertion of new and emerging Pre-Planned Product Improvement (P3I) to address the evolving threat and delivery through ECP. The system
utilizes generic processor technology to counteract obsolescence issues with digital signal processing /field programmable gate array technologies and provide software receivers for ease of modification to deal
with known and projected threat SOI. Automated signal acquisition and integrated radio direction finding are incorporated into the SSEE Increment F(V)1/2 system.
SSEE Increment F also includes a small form factor variant, SSEE Increment F(V)7/8 (previously referred to as Tactical Cryptologic Systems (TCS)), which meets IW / IO / non-kinetic and subsequent tactical
cryptologic capability onboard Arleigh Burke Class Destroyers (DDG) Flight I or other designated platforms as a replacement for select SSEE Increment E variants and legacy signals intelligence systems and is
both scalable and modular to allow tailorable configurations to meet platform or mission specific requirements.
[P3A - 2 / SSEE Modifications]: SSEE Modifications is a classified Navy tactical signals intelligence frequency extension capability that will be integrated into SSEE systems. This capability is broken into two
major components including Paragon which provides detection, collection, processing, Information Operations (IO) and display of communication intelligence data from hostile, high threat and adversary
platforms in select frequency ranges that are not prosecuted or countered today, and the Graywing subsystem which is an advanced Electronic Warfare system that will be integrated into SSEE systems. It is
a critical component of "Ballistic Missile Defense, Executive Committee, Anti-Submarine Warfare, Chief of Naval Operations, Executive Board IO Countermeasure Red Flash" initiative (details held at a higher
classification level).
[P3A - 3 / SSEE Inc F ECPs]: ECP/Obsolescence procures Commercial Off-The-Shelf/Non-Developmental Item (COTS/NDI) equipment to replace obsolete and end-of-life (EOL) equipment for the Ship's Signal
Exploitation Equipment (SSEE) Increment F program (All Variants) as well as incorporates Pre-Planned Product Improvement (P3I) for the acquisition and localization of the latest Signals of Interest (SOI) and IO
capabilities into the host systems. ECP's maintain and improve upon existing capability and relevance within a rapidly evolving threat environment.
- ECP equipment will also be used to supplement SSEE Family of Systems (FoS) to meet their respective scalable and modular capacities and meet platform mission requirements including Anti-Access Area
Denial (A2AD), unique signal processing capability or exploitation functionality.
- The Next Generation Chassis modifications provide enhanced data processing and greater exposure to existing system services while creating a secondary physical hosting environment to meet constricting
size, weight, power, and cooling requirements.
- Spectral Capability Drops include high maturity, developed Radio Frequency (RF) signal acquisition collection or exploitation capability or technique supporting host system functionality to maximize Fleet
cryptologic resources.
