TACTICAL/OPERATOR AIDS

THE S-3B AIRCRAFT IS THE LEAD PLATFORM FOR THE ACTIVE BLOCK UPGRADEPROGRAM FOR INTEGRATION AND UTILIZATION OF THE ERAPS AND ADAR SYSTEMS. BECAUSE OF THE QUANTITY AND COMPLEXITY OF OPERATOR CHOICES IN DEPLOYING AND USING THESE SYSTEMS, TACTICAL OPERATOR AIDS WILL BE REQUIRED FOR THE INTEGRATION AND UTILIZATION OF THESE NEW ACTIVE SYSTEMS. IN THIS PHASE I STUDY, SPECIFIC AIDS ARE TO BE IDENTIFIED FOR ADAR AND/OR ERAPS DEPLOYMENT, DEPTH SELECTION, CONTACT CLASSIFICATION AND TRACKING. ANALYSES WILL BE MADE OF THE S-3B ADAR AND ERAPS A-LEVEL SPECIFICATIONS. A MISSION SEQUENCE WILL BE EXPANDED AND REFINED WITH A TIME LINE ANALYSIS OR FUNCTIONS PERFORMED. FUNCTIONAL ALLOCATIONS WILL BE MADE AND TACTICAL/OPERATOR AIDS IDENTIFIED FOR DEPLOYMENT, DEPTHSELECTION, CLASSIFICATION AND TRACKING. A FUNCTIONAL REQUIREMENTS DOCUMENT WILL BE GENERATED AND WILL BE THE BASIS FOR PHASE II DEVELOPMENT OF RAPID PROTOTYPE SOFTWARE FOR THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE TACTICAL AIDS.
