Ship Signal Exploitation Equipment (SSEE INC E & D)

• Organic to the CSG/ESG– Highly sensitive signal collection system– Networked with worldwide resources– Provides Indications and Warning– HF/VHF/UHF Direction Finding

and Geolocation • DF utilizing TRDF (Inc. D)

– Supports Force Protection– Blue Water and Littoral– Blue Force Monitoring– National Tasking

• Information Superiority– Provides access to information– Enables speed of command

• Shipboard Electronic Attack (EA) capability

Mast Antenna

“HF Loop” Antennas (6 total)

Deck Edge Antennas provide HF coverage and are mounted on a ship’s deck or hull, encircling the ship so as to provide 360 degrees of reception.

The mast-mounted antenna provides omni-directional coverage in the VHF and UHF frequency ranges.

Transportable Radio Direction Finding (TRDF)

• Modular Narrowband carry-on Radio Direction Finding subsystem of SSEE and ACCES. – Provides passive HF/VHF/UHF Direction Finding

capability

– Low cost Direction Finding capability to various ship classes

– Ships pre-groomed with permanently installed antennas to support carry-on equipment

COBLU/Combat DF

• Cooperative OUTBOARD Logistics Upgrade (COBLU) (AN/SSQ-124)

• Combat DF (AN/SRS-1)

• Both are organic to CSG/ESG and provide:– Indications and Warning– Signal/Intercept Analysis – HF/VHF/UHF Signal Detection– HF/VHF/UHF Direction Finding– Force Protection– Blue Water and Littoral– Networked with worldwide resources– Provides access to National SIGINT sources

Cryptologic Carry On Program(CCOP)

• Provides variety of specialized, quick reaction cryptologic capability to selected fleet units– Administered by the Fleet Commander– Managed locally by the Fleet Electronics Shop– Mission specific cryptologic capability not

incorporated in permanently installed cryptologic systems

– Used, in part, to validate need to expand capability into all Tactical Cryptologic Sensors
