(U) MISSION DESCRIPTION AND BUDGET ITEM JUSTIFICATION: The Communication Automation program developed an anti-jam radio system incorporating shipboard interfaces, interface mitigation, radio frequency distribution (including antennas), high speed burst data transmission and relocatable Very High Frequency (VHF) relay. The Communications Support Systems (CSS) develops the architecture for an integrated Navy communication system for Ship-to-Shore and Shore-to-Ship communications defined as the Copernicus TADIXS and prototypes early operational capabilities and incremental implementation and fielding of CSS capabilities. The Shore to Ship Communications System develops communications systems elements which provide positive command and control of deployed ballistic missile submarines (SSBNs). Minimum Essential Emergency Communications Network (MEECN) is the Tri-Service transmission system which ensures delivery of Emergency Action Messages (EAM) to our strategic platforms.
(U) JUSTIFICATION FOR BUDGET ACTIVITY: This program is funded under OPERATIONAL SYSTEMS DEVELOPMENT because it encompasses engineering and manufacturing development for upgrade of existing, operational systems.

A. (U) MISSION DESCRIPTION AND BUDGET ITEM JUSTIFICATION: Support of Minimum Essential Emergency Communications Network (MEECN). MEECN is the Tri-Service transmission system which ensures delivery of Emergency Action Messages (EAMs) to our strategic platforms. Because of substantial downsizing in the number of MEECN assets, such as the CINC Airborne Command Post (ABNCP) fleet, it is necessary to improve the range, timeliness and reliability of MEECN communications to maintain connectivity to the platforms. This project identifies, researches, and develops improvements to the MEECN primarily in the Very Low Frequency and Low Frequency (VLF/LF) ranges of MEECN. The MEECN Message Processing Mode (MMPM), which reduces transmission time while improving message delivery reliability at greater ranges, was developed under this project and is being implemented in the MEECN VLF/FL Systems. The new High Data Rate (HIDAR) mode, which greatly reduces message transmission time while providing the performance of low data rate modes, has been deployed. Potential improvements in mode design and signal processing are continually being investigated for MEECN application.
(U) PROGRAM ACCOMPLISHMENTS AND PLANS:
1. (U) FY 1996 ACCOMPLISHMENTS:
(U) ($184) EVS SV 7.6, which provided HIDAR and 3-Mode Automatic Mode Recognition (AMR) became operational; issued EVS 7.7 to correct a deficiency in the 3-Mode AMR.
(U) ($106) HIDAR implementation in SLVR completed.
(U) ($262) Issued HIDAR Mode Standard for Multi-Channel Receivers (e.g., Modified Miniature Receive Terminal (MMRT)).
(U) ($75) NONAP optimized for HIDAR.
(U) ($64) Issued the initial version of the wideband atmospheric noise data base.

PROGRAM ELEMENT TITLE: Fleet Communications PROJECT TITLE: MEECN
2. (U) FY 1997 PLAN:
(U) ($237) Develop integrated NONAP and signal separator AJ algorithm.
(U) ($102) Investigate HIDAR/Block II compatibility.
(U) ($71) Document HIDAR Signal Design.
(U) ($106) Support EVS HIDATR upgrade software release.
(U) ($76) Support KG-38 replacement development.
. (U) ($70) Support SLVR MMPM and HIDAR implementation certifications.
(U) ($12) Portion of extramural program reserved for Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) assessment in accordance with 15 U.S.C. 638.
3. (U) FY 1998 PLAN:
(U) ($100) Support HIDAR implementation in MMRT for TACAMO aircraft.
(U) ($133) Implement and test integrated NONAP and signal separator AJ algorithm.
(U) ($122) Initiate development of MEECN Mode Frequency Scanning as P3I for SLVR.
(U) ($73) Support MMRT MMPM and HIDAR implementation certification.
. (U) ($67) Continue data collection and analysis for inclusion in the wideband atmospheric noise data base. An additional $189K is forward financed with FY 1997 funding due to low expenditures in FY 1996.
1. (U) FY 1999 PLAN:
(U) ($193) Support implementation of MEECN Mode Frequency Scanning in SLVR.
(U) ($71) Continue the wideband atmospheric noise base effort.
(U) ($237) Investigate the application of newly emerging error detection and correction (EDAC) algorithms for application to the MEECN Modes.
(U) ($273) Update the MEECN Integrated Test Bed to reflect modifications made to the MEECN Modes and to take advantage of technology improvements in processor speed and memory density.

(U) FY 1998 President's Budget Submit: 691 674 495 774
(U) CHANGE SUMMARY EXPLANATION:
(U) Funding: FY 1996 reduction of $11K reflects other minor Navy adjustments. FY 1997 decreased $29K for Congressional undistributed general adjustment. FY 1998 reduction of $51K for Navy decisions, $7K for NWCF Rate adjustment, $1K for inflation, $3K due to rebalance, and $189K due to an adjustment for poor execution. FY 1999 reduction of $58K is for Navy decisions, $3K for inflation, and $1K for NWCF rate adjustment.
