Description

ONR is interested in discovering what technologies industry currently has that can provide a quick-reaction, affordable ship-based long-endurance airborne decoy with modular EW mission compatible payloads. The decoy will be part of a multi-layered approach to enhance the soft-kill capability of the U.S. Navy against current and evolving anti-ship missile (ASM) threats.



Background:

U.S. Navy ships are subject to attack by high speed, maneuvering missiles with the potential to be delivered in salvos sized to overwhelm defenses. Existing defenses include hard-kill as well as on-board and off-board electronic warfare (EW) systems; all three combined are needed to be most effective against current and emerging threats.



Objective:

This announcement seeks to conduct a market survey for high technology readiness level (TRL) solutions (TRL5+) for both airborne vehicles and RF EW payloads that can provide a quick reaction capability to the Navy for a long endurance decoy with modular, advanced EW payloads to counter modern ASM threats. Decoy technologies are being sought that can provide:

• Rapid deployment and transition to stable flight• Ability to be recoverable (optionally expendable)• Extended flight endurance with hovering capability of at least an hour on station.• Details on altitudes and ranges from launch site to station are classified and will be discussed during industry day.• Secure electronic data communication between the decoy and the ship• Autonomous flight operation with the ability to receive command and control information from the ship• Ability to carry modular EW payloads• EW payloads with sufficient equivalent isotropic radiated power (EIRP) for the desired mission set(s) and frequencies. Further classified details will be discussed at industry day.• Ability to reposition, realign and stabilize multi-spectral apertures to maintain focus on the threats• Effective antenna RF isolation for the EW mission set(s)...
