CASE FI for MAC-E

Development, validation, and delivery of a new hardware system design to support the memory and processing resource demands of MAC-E simulation. The updated design will maintain the existing 2-cabinet footprint but update obsolete Intel Westmere processors with current generation Intel Cascade Lake CPUs and quadruple the RAM capacity per node. Two complete 2-cabinet trainer systems will be designed and developed, and one delivered under this program.

MK22 MOD 2 Warhead Electronics System (WES) Proof of Manufacturing (POM)

MK 48 MOD 7 HWT Program has funded the development of a new Warhead Electronics System (WES), MK22 MOD2 for the Heavyweight Torpedo (HWT). The program consists of fabrication, test, and delivery of up to 9 Proof of Manufacturing (POM) units. The Program will be entering the POM Manufacturing phase along with a Design Verification and Qualification Testing Phase that consists of a hardware upgrade to the WES and all associated design verification testing.

TI-20 Shore Sites and Tactical

Develop and procure a fully integrated, fully supportable, certifiable state of the art AN/SQQ-89A(V)15 system that meets the Navy’s requirements. Designed to detect, classify, localize and engage threats in an Undersea Warfare (USW) Environment. Active, passive sonar combat system intended for installation in a wide variety of Anti-Submarine Warfare (ASW) platforms. Included are: Destroyers, Frigates, Cruiser-type vessels. This project is extremely similar to the above Q-89 system, the difference is the cabinets for TI-20 Shoresites are built in commercial racks to reduce cost. The racks are used for “shore-based labs,” the racks for the above Q89 project are installed on actual ships.

Training

This group is responsible for developing the products, performing the activities, and delivering the services related to training. This training spans a variety of types and methods and supports ongoing learning at all levels of the organization, projects, and functional areas.

Hauppauge, New York United States

The Hardware and Software Organizational Group provides leading-edge and breakthrough solutions to Government customers. Examples include the CASE Acoustic Stimulator system which allows for high fidelity synthetic acoustically environment modeling and simulation. This system will support the test and evaluation of acoustic sensors and associated Navy P-8 mission systems at the Naval Air Station Patuxent River Systems Integration Lab (P-8 PAXSIL). Another example is the development, validation, and delivery of a new hardware system design to support the memory and processing resource demands of MAC-E simulation. The updated design will maintain the existing 2-cabinet footprint but update obsolete Intel Westmere processors with current generation Intel Cascade Lake CPUs and quadruple the RAM capacity per node. Further examples of the range of hardware and software solutions provided by this Organization Group include the MK 48 MOD 7 HWT Program which is developing a new Warhead Electronics System (WES), MK22 MOD2 for the Heavyweight Torpedo (HWT). This includes fabrication, test, and delivery of up to 9 POM units. Another hardware/software solution is the Mission Package Compute Environment (MPCE): Providing the common computing and networking architecture on both LCS sea frames for all Tactical Mission Package Application Software Deployments employing AAC’s Mission Package Services (MPS) Common Mission Package Trainer. Supporting cohesive team training for MCM, SUW, and ASW both standalone and integrated with LCS Seaframe Trainers. And as a final example, this Group is also developing and procuring a fully integrated, fully supportable, certifiable state of the art AN/SQQ-89A(V)15 system that meets the Navy’s requirements. Designed to detect, classify, localize and engage threats in an Undersea Warfare (USW) Environment. Active, passive sonar combat system intended for installation in a wide variety of Anti-Submarine Warfare (ASW) platforms. Included are: Destroyers, Frigates, Cruiser-type vessels.

All Projects: Due in part to being a very cohesive organizational unit, all projects follow very similar institutionalized processes for planning, managing, tracking, reporting, and performing their work.
