## What project 0954 buys

EW Rapid Capability Insertion Process (RCIP) identifies system and mission capability gaps by analyzing EW baseline and fleet requirements, prioritizes those gaps based on fleet input and critical technology maturity, and develops upgrades to the AN/SLQ-32(V) product line to address those gaps. RCIP also integrates Future Naval Capability (FNC) programs into SEWIP. The Surface Electronic Warfare Improvement Program (SEWIP) provides incremental upgrades to the AN/SLQ-32 and consists of Blocks 1A, 1B, 2, and 3, the Soft Kill Coordination System (SKCS), SEWIP Lite, and Scaled Onboard Electronic Attack (SOEA). The FY27 budget request supports continued development, test, and integration of SKCS with AEGIS Baseline (BL) 9 and BL 10, continues RCIP #8 to improve anti-ship missile defense capability of SLQ-32(V)6/7 when operating with other netted EW sensors and effectors, continues RCIP #6 efforts to implement Built In Test, and Signal Processing and continues RCIP #10, #11,#12, and #13 Measurement Based Adaptive Response, the Electronic Warfare (EW) Planning Aid, the Tactical Simulator (TACSIM) Technology Refresh, and MK-59, SLQ-32(V)6 and (V)7 Integration.

**R-3 lines of work:** Product Development; Support; Test and Evaluation; Management Services.

### Electronic Warfare Rapid Capability Insertion Process (EW RCIP)

- Continue RCIP #4 SKCS efforts to address platform gaps for automatic and semi-automatic engagements using Nulka decoys, onboard Electronic Attack (EA) (AN/SLQ-32 (V)7), and offboard EA systems; Continue software development and system integration and testing activities for delivery of completed software builds with capabilities…

Congressional marks, the R-2 mission description and acquisition strategy, the industry vs government split of the whole request, and related program elements are recorded at **program-element** grain — an NDAA mark lands on a PE, never on a project.
