  3. ACS - Electronic Countermeasures Analysis (ECMA) Background • Shipboard ECMA Processor Upgrade Application Will Demonstrate a Different Application of ACS Technology • ECMA Processor Utilizes Non-Linear Processing Functions • Future Surface Combatants Must Respond to New TBMD Mission • Adaptive Computing Provides the Ability to Respond to a New Threat That Must Be Addressed • Provides for Real-Time Reconfiguration to the Current Threat • Provides for Additional Fault Detection / Fault Isolation (FD/FI) Capability

  4. ECMA Frame AEGIS CRUISER WITH AN/SPY-1 RADAR ECMA ECMA Frame Performs Electronic Counter-Measures Assessment for the AN/SPY-1 Radar on AEGIS Cruisers and Destroyers AN/SPY-1 GSA CABINET (4 BAY)

  5. SLAAC- ECMA Program Goals DEMONSTRATE PROGRAMMABLE (COUNTER) COUNTERMEASURES FUNCTIONS IN ACS TECHNOLOGY DOCUMENT THE PROCESS DEMONSTRATE SUCCESSFUL SLAAC DEVELOPMENT METHODOLOGY 90% REDUCTION IN SIZE (95% OR BETTER GOAL) CORRESPONDING REDUCTION IN COST CAPABLE OF MISSION THREAT UPDATES ON A DAILY BASIS (PER DWELL UPDATE EVENTUALLY) DEVELOP A PLAN FOR NAVY TRANSITION

  6. Legacy AN/SPY-1 Electronic Countermeasures Assessment (ECMA) ECMA • Function • - Provide Countermeasures Analysis • and Jamming Analysis Processing • Characteristics • - Small Scale & Medium Scale • Integrated Circuits (1970s) • - Hard Wired Module Functions • - Non-Linear Processing Functions • - Aluminum Backplane • - 6 Foot High 19” Equipment Rack • Limitations • - Fixed Configuration • - Not Adaptable to Changing Threat • - Difficult and Costly to Modify • - Consumes Entire Frame (10% of DSP) • - No Room for Growth AN/SPY-1 GSA CABINET (4 BAY)

  7. Adaptive Computing-Based ECMA Signal Processor (SLAAC/ECMA) • Function • - Provide Functionality Identical to the • Tactical ECMA Processor • Characteristics • - Utilize Modern High Density, High • Speed COTS FPGAs • - Module Functions Programmed via • VHDL on COTS ACS Modules • - Same (as Tactical) Processing Functions • - Single COTS or Ruggedized VME Nest • Advantages • - Provides Real-Time Reconfiguration • For the Current Threat • - Provides Adaptability to Future Threats • - COTS SLAAC Modules Provide Size • Reduction (Approximately 90%) • - Easy to Modify (VHDL Modifications) • - Partially Populated VME Nest (<50%) • - Room for Growth Desktop PC AMS Wildforce Board VME Nest CSPI 2641S Board SLAAC2 Board SLAAC COTS ECMA NEST (6U VME)

  8. ACS - ECMA Technical Status • Algorithm Mapping to ACS Technology Has Been Smooth • 8 Existing ECMA Non-Linear Processing Functions Modeled • 1 Enhanced (New Capability) Processing Function Modeled • 5 ECMA Functions Have Been Board Tested (AMS Wildforce) • Initial Mapping to AMS Wildforce Board in a PC Desktop • Transition the VHDL Algorithms to a SLAAC2 / CSPI in VME • Data Has Been Captured from a SPY-1 ECMA Frame • 2 ECMA Functions Have Been Fully Implemented and Compared to an Actual SPY-1 Processor • March Demonstration for DARPA-ITO at SLAAC Retreat • 3Q99 Demo Planned With ECMA Functions in SLAAC2 • Navy Interest in Demonstration With a SPY-1 Signal Processor • Navy Funding Received to Implement Interface to SPY-1 & FD/FI • Transition to Production Planning is Ongoing
