(U) Scope

(U) This Factory Acceptance Test (FAT) defines the environment and objectives for verifying proper functionality of the Battle Force Electronic Warfare Trainer (BEWT) II BL 4.1 FC. This FAT applies to the current software release developed and configured for the BEWT II.

(U) Identification

(U) BEWT II is a training support capability under development for Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) Program Executive Office Integrated Warfare Systems Training Systems Directorate (PEO IWS 7C) under contract number N00024-10-C-5129.

(U) BEWT II System Overview

(U) BEWT II is an Electronic Warfare (EW) training support capability that provides both independent (stand-alone) and integrated (e.g., Battle Force Tactical Training (BFTT)) tactical training to the operators of AN/SLQ-32A and AN/SLQ-32B variants that are fielded or in development. BEWT II provides tactical stimulation to AN/SLQ-32 and interfaces with the BFTT Synthetic Theater of War (STOW) Local Area Network (LAN) and the BFTT Training LAN for combat team training exercises.

(U) The following sections describe BEWT II, BFTT, the Navy Continuous Training Environment (NCTE), and AN/SLQ-32.

(U) BEWT II System Architecture

(U) BEWT II is a training support capability designed to provide stimulation to onboard tactical EW systems, exclusive of the Specific Emitter Identification (SEI), High Gain High Sensitivity (HGHS), and AN/ALQ-210, giving afloat operators the ability to train for tactical operations using organic equipment. BEWT II provides the onboard training team with the ability to exercise individual, team, combat team and force level operational scenarios.

(U) BEWT II is a training support capability designed to provide AN/SLQ-32 stimulation and post-exercise operator assessment in both independent (stand-alone) and integrated (i.e., BFTT and NCTE via BFTT controlled) training configurations. The BEWT II Independent Training State represents the performance grouping associated with BEWT II stand-alone or non-integrated training exercises in which BEWT II stimulates the AN/SLQ-32 without input from the BFTT. BEWT II provides scenario generation and control capabilities in support of independent EW tactical training. The BEWT II Integrated Training State represents the performance groupings associated with training exercises controlled by either BFTT or NCTE via BFTT. The BEWT II software provides an interface between BFTT and the AN/SLQ-32 by stimulating the AN/SLQ-32 using input from BFTT via the BFTT Training LAN or the STOW LAN. In the case of an NCTE controlled exercise, BFTT acts as an intermediary for NCTE, providing BEWT II with transparency to the exercise source. Figure 1.2.1-1, BEWT II Interconnections, shows how BEWT II interconnects with the various trainer and shipboard systems.

Figure 1.2.1-1. (U) BEWT II Interconnections

(U) BEWT II is developed utilizing Open Architecture technical principles and approaches. The system design will provide capability enhancements by designing for modular growth, portable and reusable software, commercial standards, non-proprietary elements and published interfaces. BEWT II is an obsolescence update to the existing BEWT system, which will take advantage of Commercial Off-The-Shelf (COTS) and Non-Developmental Items (NDI) to the maximum extent possible, consistent with achieving the performance requirements identified in this document and providing a system suitable for shipboard use.

(U) BFTT System Overview

(U) The BFTT System AN/USQ-T46 is a highly flexible, interactive unit and group/force level tactical combat training system. The mission of the BFTT system is to provide training capabilities for fleet personnel to achieve and maintain combat readiness with the surface forces. The BFTT system supports joint/allied exercise interoperability and provides Commanding Officers, the Afloat Training Groups (ATGs) and Battle Group/Battle Force (BG/BF) commanders with the ability to conduct coordinated, realistic, high stress combat system training for developing war fighting proficiency and maintaining combat readiness. A major thrust of the BFTT system is to provide a dynamic interactive war fighting environment that includes all naval force elements. The BFTT system supports worldwide training of the full command and decision line including multiple warfare areas for vessels in port and staffs ashore or embarked.

(U) NCTE System Overview

(U) The NCTE is a Fleet Forces Command initiative to develop an infrastructure for linking simulations and real-world combat systems. The goal is to develop a coherent virtual environment where full-spectrum operations can be executed; for example using multiple carrier strike groups in real-time. The NCTE infrastructure brings together systems built for separate purposes, technologies from different eras, products from various vendors, and platforms from various services, and permits them to interoperate. The coherent virtual environment must be distributed across a wide area network. Each platform and command participating in the exercise operates in the same battle space regardless of their physical location in the real world. Each individual system that ties into the NCTE should share battle space information to the maximum extent possible without sacrificing simulation/stimulation accuracy and fidelity. NCTE changes the paradigm of training requirement specification to be more reactive to changes in Fleet operations.

(U) AN/SLQ-32 Overview

(U) The AN/SLQ-32A(V) performs all control and monitoring functions including control of Electronic Support Measures (ESM) and Electronic Countermeasures (ECM) resources, derivation of emitter parameters, threat identification, emitter tracking, reporting to the shipboard Combat Direction System (CDS), and control and monitoring of the Light Airborne Multi-Purpose System (LAMPS) ESM system.

(U) The Surface Electronic Warfare Improvement Program (SEWIP) Block 1 program provides enhanced EW capability to existing ship combat systems to improve Anti Ship Missile Defense (ASMD), counter-targeting and counter-surveillance capabilities, as well as improved battlefield situational awareness.

(U) SEWIP Block 1A adds increased systems processing capability and improved Human Systems Integration (HSI). These improvements were accomplished by replacing the existing digital processor and digital presorter units with a COTS based processor, the Electronic Surveillance Enhancement (ESE), as well as firmware extensions to the ESE to allow communication with an Improved Console and Display (ICAD). The ICAD is a modified Navy Standard AN/UYQ-70 Console and replaces the aging AN/SLQ-32 console.

(U) SEWIP Block 1B is composed of three sequential sub-blocks: Block 1B1, Block 1B2 and Block 1B3. Block 1B1 provides SEWIP with the SEI capability in a stand-alone configuration. Block 1B2 incorporates the Block 1B1 SEI's controls and displays into the ICAD subsystem that was originally fielded in SEWIP Block 1A system. Additionally, Block 1B2 increases the functionality of the Block 1A system by adding EW Operator Embedded Training (ET), and a Net-Centric Warfare Electronic Support (NCWES) capability. The NCWES capability provides the EW Operator with a Common Operational Picture (COP) display capability via connectivity to the Global Command and Control System-Maritime (GCCS-M). Block 1B3 federates HGHS capability for special signals to allow the system to keep pace with the threat and increase situational awareness.
