Phase I

Contract Number: N62269-91-C-0418

Phase I year

Phase I Amount
$49,953
The S-3B aircraft is the lead platform for the Active Block UpgradeProgram for integration and utilization of the ERAPS and ADAR systems. Because of the quantity and complexity of operator choices in deploying and using these systems, tactical operator aids will be required for the integration and utilization of these new active systems. In this Phase I study, specific aids are to be identified for ADAR and/or ERAPS deployment, depth selection, contact classification and tracking. Analyses will be made of the S-3B ADAR and ERAPS A-Level Specifications. A mission sequence will be expanded and refined with a time line analysis or functions performed. Functional allocations will be made and tactical/operator aids identified for deployment, depthselection, classification and tracking. A Functional Requirements Document will be generated and will be the basis for Phase II development of rapid prototype software for the implementation of the tactical aids

Phase II

Contract Number: N62269-94-C-1200
Start Date: 12/21/1993    Completed: 12/21/1995

During Phase I of this SBIR effort, ESSCUBE identified over 30 Tactical Operator Aids (TACAIDS) for Advanced Active ASW Search Systems such as IEER (Improved Extended Echo Ringing). These are all reported in the Phase I Functional Requirements Document. Some of these were partially or wholly developed in the S-3B Active Block Upgrade Program for IEER. Under a Phase II effort, three of these TACAIDS (that were not previously developed for EER) will be developed. These TACAIDS will provide improved capability in detection, classification and localization for IEER systems and will have application forthe P-3C, LAMPS MK III and ASWOC/ASWM when IEER is implemanted in these platforms. The Phase II program will consist of implementation of the three TACAIDS selected using simulated inputs and the initial evaluation of these by engineering and operational personnel. The final deliverables will be PPSs and software written in 'C' suitable for transition to S-3B and later to other ASW platforms.
