A maritime signals intelligence system for the US Navy’s Ship’s Signal Exploitation Equipment Increment F (SSEE-F) programme has been delivered by Boeing ahead of schedule, the company announced on 15 October. It is the first system delivered under the US Navy’s latest order for the programme.
The system will now undergo testing with the navy to support future integration of new system features and software releases.
Chris Parente, principal APM, information operations, PEO C4I, said: ‘Receiving this and future systems well ahead of schedule is a real advantage for our warfighters. We’re able to test new software releases and features to support future fleet integration, without disruption to current missions or ongoing fleet operations.’
SSEE-F is a tactical cryptologic system which performs all signal processing functions necessary to acquire, identify, locate and analyse signals for external and internal information. SSEE-F builds on the capabilities of Increment E, with the latest in Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) technology, embedded processing and server network technologies. The systems are built by Boeing subsidiary, Argon ST.
Dan Marini, SSEE-F program manager, Boeing, said: ‘As the navy’s partner in building this critical signals intelligence system, we are focused on adding value for our customer. We’re constantly looking at what we can improve next that gives them an advantage.’
Boeing has already delivered four previous orders for the SSEE-F programme.
The airborne three-domain, the two ground-based and the ¼ ATR OpenVPX-based cross-domain systems were engineered to provide real-time security across multi-domain operations.
DARPA’s Mission-Integrated Network Control (MINC) programme was set up to develop an autonomous tactical network and enable critical data flow in contested environments.
Why space is an essential part of modern military capabilities
Defence-secure mixed reality headsets can save hours, or even weeks, of travel time to fix defunct equipment or get subject experts effectively “on-site” where they are needed.
The Joint Counter Radio-Controlled Improvised Explosive Device Electronic Warfare (JCREW) counter-improvised explosive device (C-IED) and Drone Restricted Access Using Known Electromagnetic Warfare (DRAKE) counter-UAS (CUAS) systems are mounted and dismounted RF jammers.
Adarga’s Vantage information analysis tool is in service with the UK MoD and individual UK forces. It builds on the company’s Knowledge Platform which processes, organises and analyses open source material, as well as information held by the user’s military, security and intelligence services.
