SENSORS

Lockheed Martin moves ahead with integrating combat system and sensors for Constellation-class frigate. Lockheed Martin is designing the combat management system for the new frigates, based on the company's COMBATSS-21 ship combat management system.

WASHINGTON – Shipboard sensors experts at Lockheed Martin Corp. are moving ahead with initial design of the combat system aboard the future U.S. Navy Constellation-class frigate (FFG 62) under terms of a $7.9 million order announced Monday. Officials of the Naval Sea Systems Command in Washington are asking the Lockheed Martin Rotary and Mission Systems segment in Moorestown, N.J., for contract options for combat system ship integration and testing on the future Constellation-class frigate. [...]

COMBATSS-21 is built on an open-architecture scalable framework using non-developmental software, Lockheed Martin officials say. Custom software adapters called boundary components support sensors, communications, and weapon interfaces, and are designed to accommodate future technology insertion and system upgrades with minimal effect on the system[s core software. [...] In addition to developing the combat management system for the Navy's future Constellation-class frigates, Lockheed Martin also builds the Navy's Aegis combat system for Navy Arleigh Burke-class destroyers and Ticonderoga-class cruisers at its Moorestown, N.J. facility. [...]

Shipboard electronics will include the Lockheed Martin COMBATSS-21 combat management system; AN/SPY-6(V)3 Enterprise Air Surveillance Radar (EASR); AN/SPS-73(V)18 surface search radar; AN/SLQ-61 lightweight towed array sonar; AN/SQS-62 variable-depth sonar; AN/SQQ-89F undersea warfare and anti-submarine warfare combat system; and Cooperative Engagement Capability (CEC).
