Overview

• Operational Background

• Technical Background

• Program Development

• JSuW JCTD Effort

• Thoughts and Considerations

- 3 -

Operational Background

• Current Weapon Systems either cannot be updated in flight or implement stove-piped support infrastructure

• Network Centric Warfare Requirements• Connectivity and interoperability between sensor

platforms, shooter platforms and weapons/munitions

• Operational flexibility and agility through decoupled sensors and tactical networks

- 4 -

Operational Concept(Any Sensor/Any Shooter/Any Munition)

- 5 -

Technical Background(Weapon Data-Link Network (WDLN) ACTD)

• Common language for targeting messages• J-series (primary L16)

• MIL-STD-6016C

• K-series (primary UHF)• MIL-STD-6017

• Error ellipse size and accurate time of report

• Retarget weapons

• Update weapons in flight (moving targets)

- 6 -

Products of WDLN Implementation

• Networked targeting capability• Interoperable machine to machine passage of

targeting information directly to weapons• No “fat fingering” of target data• Reduced time to engage / time to kill

• Increased operational agility• Direct ISR platform control of weapons• Increased stand-off of shooter platforms• Reduced time in enemy IADS of shooters

• Improved assessment at end of kill chain• Weapon status messages• Bomb hit indicator (BHI) messages

- 7 -

Program Development

• JSOW-C Block III• WDLN being incorporated• Complete integration with F/A-18

• Harpoon Block III• WDLN being incorporated• FA-18 and CG/DDG Integration

• Initiatives• Common Link-16 Data-link hardware/encryption• Follow-on with Small Diameter Bomb II (SDB-II)

- 8 -

JSuW JCTD(Joint Surface Warfare

Joint Capability Technology Demonstration)

• WDLN ACTD demonstrated NEW concept• Current PORs implementing WDLN message set

• JSTARS, P-3 LSRS, F/A-18• JSOW-C III, Harpoon III, JASSM-MI

• Operational Need• Current SuW targeting limited at range• Adverse weather capability limited• Most current SuW involves direct attack

• Desired Capability• All weather, stand-off SuW

Kill Chain Demos

• Find, Fix, Track, Target, Engage, Assess• Find (ISR platform provides initial cueing to shooter and

weapon using WDLN message set)• Fix, Track, Target (ISR platform provides targeting

solution to shooter using WDLN message set)• Engage

• Launch (Shooter passes target data to weapon and employs weapon in LAR via machine to machine interface)

• Control (ISR platform updates weapon on target location and velocity through WIFTUs using WDLN message set)

• Weapon (Weapon guides to impact in terminal phase using onboard sensors [IIR, radar, etc])

• Assess (ISR platform determines BDA)
