Achieving Affordable, Capable Systems through Open Architecture

1. Achieving Affordable, Capable Systems through Open Architecture Dr. Adam RazavianDeputy Major Program ManagerAbove Water Sensors DirectoratePEO IWS2.0

2. Making Capability InsertionMore Affordable • Computing Environment Open Architecture • Isolation of HW/SW • Commercial standards • Commercial middleware for data transfer • Data Rights • Warfare System Functional Architecture • Simplify the system integration by organizing the combat system architecture functionally • Capture WS/CS data model • Isolate the sensors/weapons changes from CMS • Reduce the changes made to core combat system • Reduce testing • Reduce certification cost • Align the System Engineering model with Business and Acquisition model • One without the other will not produce the desired outcome

3. Future Warfare Systems • Systems are becoming increasingly complex contributing to high cost of: • Development • Integration • System Sustainment • As warfare systems become more integrated • Individual systems require less complexity • Individual platforms can be specialized for narrower functionalities • Overall system capability increases • Warfare systems must be designed for Interoperability • After the fact interoperability is expensive • Data model for Warfare System Architecture makes the integration effort easier

4. In Service Warfare Systems • Systems are becoming obsolete, contributing to high cost of • Sustainment • Upgrades • Systems are • Stand alone • Specialized, dedicated hardware, closed Interfaces • Hardware and software are tightly coupled • Cost of obsolescence management is increasing as a function of time • When Business Case allows • Replace troubled functionalities with COTS and OPEN standard design • Reduce the sustainment cost • Reduce the future upgrade cost

5. Next Step: Leverage Modular Architecture for Ballistic Missile Defense and AAW Threats Future Applications of Scalable S-Band Radar 1999-2003 Japan CG(X) Family of Scalable Radars Australia Japan UK Spain Solid-State Modular Architecture Family of Scalable Systems Modern Digital Arrays and High-Speed ProcessorsBring Revolutionary Capabilities Distribution Statement A: Approved for Public Release; Distribution is Unlimited.

6. Primary Stressors to Future Surface Multi-Mission Combatants' Radars Ballistic Missile Defense Stressors Radar Needs • Sensitivity • 360º coverage • High confidence discrimination • Large operating areas • Long range Threats • Raids • Countermeasures Self Defense • Sensitivity • High clutter rejection • Phased array illumination • Robust electronic protection • Dual operating bands • Raids of VLO’s • Diverse Natural Environment • Countermeasures 4 Distribution Statement A: Approved for Public Release; Distribution is Unlimited. 6

7. SEWIP Block 2 CompetitionLessons Learned • Leverage ONR ADM Project • Prior to the Block 2 competition ONR had an ADM contract for MFEW • ONR ADM effort was competed and matured several critical technology elements to TRL 6 with GPR on most of hardware and software • Technology Demonstration phase was achieved by leveraging from ONR MFEW ADM development. • Unsuccessful bidders for the ONR MFEW competition continued to invest their own IRAD to remain competitive for future Block 2 competition • Providing the MFEW GPR data as GFI with the Block 2 RFP resulted in a more robust competition

8. SEWIP Block 2 CompetitionLessons Learned • Leverage the Naval Open Architecture Contract Guidebook for Program Managers • Though the Government cannot demand Data Rights, provided the option for offerors to price Data Rights and included evaluation criteria on that option in the RFP • All offerors addressing the Data Rights option • An award with Unlimited Data Rights at no cost for all SEWIP Block 2 • Providing this data as GFI to future competitors for the SEWIP Block 2 Full Rate Competition, as well as follow-on life cycle support efforts, will result in lower TOC

9. Summary • Capability insertion must be more affordable • We must develop the ability to meet tomorrow’s threat • Our systems will be more integrated and interoperable • Utilize every single platform asset in the warfare system • OA approaches are the key enablers to meet tomorrow’s threat affordably
