N86-NTSP-S-30-9408A/PA

SEPTEMBER 1999APRIL 2000

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

This Navy Training System Plan (NTSP) identifies manpower, personnel, and training requirements for the Radar Track Discriminator System (RTDS) AN/UPX-34(V) and the AN/UPX-34A(V). The RTDS has been designed and developed to provide positive identification of radar tracks beyond visual range. When enabled by the AEGIS Weapon System, the RTDS samples radio frequency signals obtained from host radar system echoes. Using echo characteristics, the RTDS discriminates between aircraft types, classifies the echo source, and identifies the aircraft types to the ship's display system.

The AN/UPX-34(V) is an Acquisition Category (ACAT) III program. The program successfully passed Operational Evaluation and Milestone III. Operational systems are deployed on five AEGIS cruisers, and at ATC Dahlgren, ACC Dahlgren, and ACSC Wallops Island. The production phase was terminated by a NAVCOMPT decision before contract award.

The AN/UPX-34A(V) is an ACAT III program that is a restart of the program, but is a Commercial-Off-The-Shelf (COTS) Non-Developmental Item (NDI) version of the AN/UPX-34(V). It will be procured to outfit and support the remaining 22 AEGIS cruisers and three land sites.

Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division (NAWCAD) St. Inigoes will install the AN/UPX-34A(V) onboard ships and at shore sites and will provide technical assistance and initial training. All hardware and software Navy Engineering Technical Services will be accomplished by the NAWCAD Patuxent River at St. Inigoes In-Service Engineering Activity. The Navy Support Date (NSD) for the AN/UPX-34A(V) is to be determined. The NSD for the AN/UPX-34(V) was January 1997.

The introductions of the AN/UPX-34A(V) and the AN/UPX-34(V) have no impact on the current manning requirements of the AEGIS class cruisers. Electronic Warfare Technicians (EW) and Fire Controlman (FC) operate the RTDS in conjunction with their normal duties on an as-required basis. FCs with Navy Enlisted Classification (NEC) 1106 or 1143 who currently maintain AEGIS Weapon System equipment maintain the RTDS. No new billets are required for activities designated to receive the RTDS.

The maintenance concept for the RTDS includes organizational and depot level maintenance. Organizational level maintenance consists of preventive and corrective maintenance. Depot level maintenance consists of screening failed components for trends and return of the components to the vendor for repair, overhaul, or replacement.

Initial training for the AN/UPX-34(V) has been completed. Initial training for the AN/UPX-34A(V) will be accomplished by NAWCAD St. Inigoes for instructors, fleet maintainers, and operators as the equipment is installed onboard the ship and at shore sites.

Follow-on training for the AN/UPX-34(V) was incorporated into existing courses for maintenance, team training, and officer briefs. The AN/UPX-34A(V) will be integrated into these same courses in FY00. It is anticipated that the impact will be minimal and will be determined following the curriculum development for the AN/UPX-34A(V).

Maintenance training will be provided as part of current AEGIS FC training held at AEGIS Training Center (ATC) Dahlgren, Virginia. Team operator training is provided for EWs, FCs, and selected Combat Information Center (CIC) officers. These courses are taught by the AEGIS Training and Readiness Center Detachments (ATRCD) on request from the individual command. Proposed Personnel Qualification Standards have been developed by NAWCAD St. Inigoes and will be utilized by EWs and FCs in operator training. Officer briefs for the RTDS are conducted at ATC Dahlgren and are included in the courses taught for Combat System Officers, and prospective Commanding Officers and Executive Officers.

D. SYSTEM DESCRIPTION. The AN/UPX-34(V) and the AN/UPX-34A(V) are two independent systems that are encompassed by the RTDS program. The AN/UPX-34(V) is an established system, and the AN/UPX-34A(V) system is a new Commercial Off-The-Shelf (COTS) acquisition that will complete the outfitting of AEGIS Cruisers with a RTDS. Throughout this document, information specific to each individual program will be identified by the system nomenclature. "RTDS" will identify information common to both systems.

1. Operational Uses. The RTDS has been designed and developed to provide positive identification of radar tracks beyond visual range. When enabled by the AEGIS Weapon System, the RTDS samples radio frequency signals obtained from host radar system echoes. Using echo characteristics, the RTDS discriminates between aircraft types, classifies the echo source, and provides aircraft types to the ship's display system.

The AN/UPX-34(V) was installed on five AEGIS Cruisers and two shore facilities. The AN/UPX-34A(V) will be installed on 22 AEGIS cruisers; a test bed at the In-Service Engineering Activity (ISEA) St. Inigoes, Maryland; at the AEGIS Combat Systems Center (ACSC) Wallops Island, Virginia; and one training unit at the AEGIS Training Center (ATC), Dahlgren, Virginia.

2. Foreign Military Sales. Not Applicable (NA)

E. DEVELOPMENTAL TEST AND OPERATIONAL TEST. The AN/UPX-34(V) successfully completed a Technical Evaluation (TECHEVAL) at Wallops Island in October 1993. Operational Test and Evaluation Force (OPTEVFOR) conducted Operational Evaluation (OPEVAL) in June 1994. Commander, Operational Test and Evaluation Force (COMOPTEVFOR) will participate in the Acceptance Test and Evaluation of the COTS version of the AN/UPX-34A(V). COMOPTEVFOR will perform a Technical Assessment (DT-IIIA) during baseline testing of the production contractor's prototype. COMOPTEVFOR will also perform an Operational Assessment (DT-IIIA/DT-IIIB) during acceptance testing of the first article production unit.

F. AIRCRAFT AND/OR EQUIPMENT/SYSTEM/SUBSYSTEM REPLACED. The RTDS presents a new capability; it does not replace current equipment. On current AEGIS applications, a conjunctive Ship Alteration/Ordnance Alteration installation will allow shipboard Fire Control System Mk 99 to interface with the RTDS.

G. DESCRIPTION OF NEW DEVELOPMENT

1. Functional Description. When enabled by the AEGIS Weapon System, the Radar Track Discriminator (RTD) samples Radio Frequency (RF) signals obtained from host radar system echoes. Each set of signals is associated with a unique display track number. Using echo characteristics, the RTDS discriminates between possible sources (aircraft types), classifies the echo source, and provides the aircraft types to the ship's display system, associating the identity with the assigned track number.

2. Physical Description. The AN/UPX-34(V) includes the RTD, a remote display, an electrical rack, and associated waveguides and cabling. The Radar Receiver R-2919/UPX-34(V) is combined with the RTDS as part of AEGIS Element 27.

COMPONENT	DEPTH (INCHES)	WIDTH (INCHES)	HEIGHT (INCHES)	WEIGHT (POUNDS)
MX-11504/UPX-34(V) RTD	25.50	19.0	10.5	115.0
ID-2501/UPX-34(V) RTD Display	3.15	11.6	10.6	13.4
MT-6871/UPX-34(V) Electrical Rack	36.00	23.6	48.0	400.0 (loaded)
R-2919/UPX-34(V)	6.00	30.0	32.0	115.0

The AN/UPX-34A(V) will consist of:

Radar Track Discriminator Processor (1)
Remote Display (1)
Radar Receiver (2)

3. New Development Introduction. The AN/UPX-34(V) was introduced as new production equipment. The AN/UPX-34A(V) will also be introduced as new production equipment and be installed on CG-52 through CG-73 class ships during Routine Overhaul, Selected Restricted Availability, or other periods of planned availability.

4. Significant Interfaces. RTDS has digital and analog interfaces with AEGIS Fire Control System (FCS) Mk 99. The RTDS receives analog radar target data from FCS via the Radar Receiver (R-2919/UPX-34(V)) and digital data from FCS via an AN/UYK-20 or AN/UYK-44 computer. This data is processed, forwarded back to FCS, and then sent on to the AEGIS Weapon System. RTDS has the following AEGIS interfaces:

Two fire control system interfaces; both are MIL-STD-1397 Type A (Naval Tactical Data System (NTDS) slow), sixteen-bit word width
AN/UPX-34(V) Radar Interface Unit (RIU), located in the RTD, with two analog RF inputs, 9.7 MHz frequency
AN/UPX-34A(V) uses a combination of COTS boards to perform the function of the RIU

5. New Features, Configurations, or Material. The AN/UPX-34(V) contains core processing boards, a custom interface board, power supplies, and two radar interface units. The RTD operates on radar returns from two R-2919/UPX-34(V) radar receivers.

The AN/UPX-34A(V) contains a core processing board, a digital receiver board, an A/D converter board, two NTDS boards, a digital signal processing board, and power supplies. The AN/UPX-34A(V) has Built-In Test (BIT) function that will assist in troubleshooting.

H. CONCEPTS

1. Operational Concept. Dedicated manning of the RTDS is not required under any condition of readiness. Electronic Warfare technicians (EW) and Fire Controlman (FC), on an as-required basis, control operation of the system.

2. Maintenance Concept. The maintenance concept for the RTDS includes two levels of maintenance, organizational and depot.

a. Organizational. Organization level maintenance consists of fault isolation to the printed circuit board using systematic fault isolation procedures. FCs with Navy Enlisted Classification (NEC) 1106 or 1143 use Maintenance Assist Modules (MAM) (AN/UPX-34(V) only), General Purpose Electronic Test Equipment (GPETE), and equipment technical manuals to isolate faults and replace failed plug-in modules or chassis-mounted components such as fuses, switches, and lamps. The AN/UPX-34A(V) will not have MAMs.

(1) Preventive Maintenance. Organizational level preventive maintenance actions include periodic cleaning and replacement of air blower filters for the AN/UPX-34(V). Currently, there are six separate scheduled maintenance actions required (1-monthly, 3-quarterly, 1-semi-anually, and 1-as required) which total approximately 20 maintenance hours yearly. Organizational level preventive maintenance actions for the AN/UPX-34A(V) are to be determined and will be included in future updates to this NTSP.

(2) Corrective Maintenance. The corrective maintenance approach consists of identification of failed Line Replaceable Units (LRU) using BIT. Failed LRUs are removed and replaced by utilizing onboard spares. Unavailable LRUs may be requisitioned from the designated Navy Inventory Control Point (NAVICP). Organizational level maintenance actions are primarily limited to performance monitoring, fault isolation, and the removal and replacement of failed LRUs. Certain LRUs are returned to the designated ISEA for test, evaluation, and disposal. These LRUs have Source, Maintainability, and Recoverability (SM&R) code PAODD in equipment Allowance Parts Lists. It is estimated that approximately three maintenance hours per instance for troubleshooting, repair, and repair verification are needed for the AN/UPX-34(V). Projected corrective maintenance hours for the AN/UPX-34A(V) are to be determined and will be included in future updates to this NTSP.

b. Intermediate. NA

c. Depot. Depot level maintenance includes the screening of failed components to detect failure trends and to screen for active warranties, followed by the return of repairable components to COTS vendors for repair, overhaul, or replacement.

d. Interim Maintenance. Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division (NAWCAD) St. Inigoes will install the AN/UPX-34A(V) onboard ships and at shore sites and will provide technical assistance and initial training. All Navy Engineering Technical Services supporting both hardware and software will be accomplished by NAWCAD St. Inigoes, ISEA. The Navy Support Date (NSD) for the AN/UPX-34A(V) is to be determined. NSD for the AN/UPX-34(V) was January 1997.

e. Life-Cycle Maintenance Plan. NA

3. Manning Concept. The introduction of the AN/UPX-34(V) and the AN/UPX-34A(V) to the fleet will have no impact on the current manpower requirements of the AEGIS class cruisers as outlined in the AEGIS Combat Systems Navy Training Plan, S-30-8512E/A.

a. Operators. EWs and FCs operate the RTDS in conjunction with their normal duties. RTDS operator duties consist of energizing, de-energizing, enabling via variable action buttons, and using target recognition data with existing FCS radar or NTDS displays. The AEGIS Display System provides RTDS data for Combat Information Center (CIC) users such as Anti-Air Warfare coordinators. No new operator billets (officer or enlisted) are or will be required.

b. Maintainers. FCs who currently maintain AEGIS Weapons System (AWS) equipment also maintain the RTDS. Their maintenance duties include system energizing and de-energizing plus corrective and preventive maintenance. Troubleshooting actions employ the use of a MAM to determine defective LRUs, which may be replaced with spares drawn from supply. No new billets (officer or enlisted) are or will be required.

4. Training Concept

a. Initial Training. Initial training for the AN/UPX-34(V) has been completed. Initial training for the AN/UPX-34A(V) will be accomplished by NAWCAD, St. Inigoes for instructors starting third quarter FY00. Initial training for fleet maintainers and operators will be accomplished as equipment is installed onboard the ship and at shore sites.

4. Test Sets, Tools, and Test Equipment. The AN/UPX-34(V) requires special tools consisting of MAMs with module extender cards. The following General Purpose Electronic Test Equipment (GPETE) is required: AN/USM-425(V) Oscilloscope, 8000A Digital Multimeter, AN/USM-207A Electronic Counter, SG-132 Sweep Generator, and 280-6XLP Multimeter.

The AN/UPX-34A(V) will be designed to preclude requirements for Special Purpose Electronic Test Equipment, Automatic Test Equipment, and Test Program Sets. NAWCAD St. Inigoes has identified one potential item of GPETE for use with the AN/UPX-34A(V). This item, a general shipboard use multimeter, may be used to check voltage and resistance.

5. Repair Parts. Interim repair parts kits have been procured from equipment manufacturers to support the AN/UPX-34(V) installation and will be converted to onboard repair parts. A rotatable pool of spares will be maintained at ISEA, St. Inigoes. Onboard repair parts for the AN/UPX-34A(V) will be computed during the development of the APL from Provisioning Technical Documentation provided by the contractor. Once the Material Support Date (MSD) is reached, NAVICP will assume full responsibility for budgeting, procurement, receipt, issuance, stocking, repair, and modification of parts, publication of allowance lists, pipeline support, and replenishment of spare and repair parts. The MSD for the AN/UPX-34A(V) is scheduled for August 2000. The MSD for the AN/UPX-34(V) was in January 1997.

6. Human Systems Integration. Human systems engineering for the AN/UPX-34A(V) will be per the Human System Integration Plan developed by NAWCAD St. Inigoes for the AN/UPX-34(V).
