Aircraft Wireless ICS (AWICS) Existing Aircraft Intercom System Safety improvement being fielded to mitigate long cord entanglement hazard Integrated Aircraft Interface Unit (IAIU) WIRED WIRELESS IAIU 1 per acft EME Windtalker Encryption Device (WED) EME with J Box Enhanced Mobile Equipment (EME) • User Group Can Talk to: • Each Other • Pilots • Ground Crews • System is adaptable to a variety of ground platforms Completing limited fielding. Revisiting requirements for Naval Aviation under eWICS User Group 31 users on one IAIU with up to 6 simultaneous talkers
encrypted Wireless Inter-Com System (eWICS) Encrypted system capable of operating in the shipboard EMI environment and compatible with existing aircraft ICS, Headset and microphone combinations Platforms: CH-53E, HH-60H, MH-53E, MH-60S, MV-22B & UH-1Y Analysis of Alternatives RFI released: April 2013 AoA study completed – non-conclusive
TACCOM/ARC-210 AESA radar Over 140 airborne, seaborne and land based platforms use ARC-210 equipment.
Over The Horizon CommunicationsMobile User Objective System Why MUOS? • Combatant Commanders depend on Narrowband SATCOM to complete critical missions requiring Beyond Line Of Sight (BLOS) communications • Existing UHF satellites are currently over subscribed and demand is increasing • Availability of channels for missions is rapidly declining due to health of legacy satellites • Legacy UHF will be at 40% capacity by CY16 • No MUOS capable airborne radios exist today • Mobile User Objective System developed as a replacement for the UHF Follow On (UFO) satellite constellation • IOC in 2012 (one satellite) • FOC in 2016 (four satellites) • Each Satellite will have 2 payloads • Legacy UHF payload with ½ number of usable accesses* • Modern MUOS payload • UFO to MUOS Capacity Improvement No Platform Requirements = No POM-16 Issue Sheet

Secure Network Server (SNS) / Secure Network Processor Marine Aviation Digital Systems Interoperability, Aug 2007 “To achieve future interoperability, legacy systems will require ‘digital bridges’ to each other, while new systems will require detailed interoperability analysis and alignment of procurement plans.” – LtGenTrautman, DCA Marine Corps Warfighting Publication(MCWP) 3-2 “Marine aviation is designed to operate as an integral part of a combined-arms organization… It also provides the MAGTF commander with long-range fires (including electronic fires), intelligence collection, enhanced mobility, and force protection...” Requirement still exists
Product Line Approach for Mission Computer Systems Completely FACE Compatible • Multiple platforms have identified requirements for new or upgraded Mission Computers • Family of systems with selectable components • Power supplies • Processor cards • Graphics cards • Network components • Waveform generation • Obsolescence tolerant • Scalable and extendable – Tailored to each platform • Common logistics support infrastructure • Government ownership of interfaces
Product Line Approach for Mission Computer Systems Mission Computer Alternative MCA • Minimize NRE through Off-the-Shelf components • Use government specified Industry Standard Interfaces • Ability to upgrade to next generation card without need for redesign • Multiple SWaP implementations
Software Licenses • Ability to procure licenses for FACE conformant software • Potential licensing options • One time license with procurement • Can be procured with APN funding • Annual license to include product upgrades • Requires O&M,N funding • More difficult to manage • License as part of hardware procurement • Operating Systems • Drivers • System services • Logistics support of licenses software
POM-16 Issues • eWICS • Acquisition strategy maturing to ensure Navy requirements are met • MCA • Multiple platforms needing new or upgraded mission computer that will be FACE compatible
Takeaways Funding is tight Ways to reduce cost of computer systems and sensors is critical Only items with the potential for long term cost savings will be considered Hardware must be FACE compatible Software applications must be FACE conformant
