Exhibit R-2a, RDT&E Project Justification

(Exhibit R-2a, page 9 of 27) UNCLASSIFIED A.(U)Mission Description and Budget Item Justification: This program delivers block updates to Sonar Systems installed on SSN688,688I,21 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. A-RCI is a multi-phased, evolutionary development effort geared toward addressing Acoustic Superiority issues through the rapid introduction of interim development products applicable to SSN688, 688I Flight, SSN21 and SSBN726 Class Submarines.

A-RCI Phases I and II introduce towed array processing improvements; A-RCI Phase III introduces spherical array processing improvements. The AN/BSY-1 High Frequency Upgrade is a stand-alone program which will be introduced as A-RCI PhaseIV for SSN688I and Seawolf Class only and carries onto FY03. As part of CNON872's plan to maintain acoustic superiority for In-Service Submarines a joint cooperative effort with NAVSEA(SEA93,ASTO) to deliver annual Advanced Processing Builds(APBs). The capabilities in the APBs will be integrated as part of A-RCI certified systems. This effort, known as the N872 Business Plan funds the APB integration efforts with the Multi- Purpose Processor as well as the AN/BQQ-10 Sonar system beginning in FY02.

This budget submit also reflects development of the Total Ship Monitoring System as well as Acoustic Intelligence (ACINT21) capabilities to be introduced into the Fleet. Precision Bottom Mapping transition, integration and testing begin in FY01. Towed systems development efforts will focus on: (a)tow cable improvements for shallow water towing in littoral environments; (b)hydrophone and telemetry cost and risk reduction initiatives; (c)mechanical endurance improvements; (d)TB-29(A)towed array Engineering Developmental Model (EDM) development; and (e) TB-16 replacement EDM development.

[edit] Project/Product Description

The application is used to correlate and visualization acoustic intelligence information on board eleven submarines and at a global fusion center onshore.

[edit] Buying Criteria

[edit] Business Priorities

The ONI already had Oracle licenses, so SAIC had to negotiate change requests to buy Objectivity/DB licenses. However, without making the switch they were in danger of missing their next milestone because of the overheads of producing and maintaining the O-R mapping layer, which used Hibernate.

[edit] Technical Priorities

Performance with complex data
Elimination of the O-R mapping layer.
