Surface Electronic Warfare
Improvement Program (SEWIP)
Restoring Tactical Usefulness to Legacy Systems
Benefits
• Immediate improvement
to legacy surface ship EW
systems
• Early detection, location and
classification of electronic
emitters
• Lower cost and risk through
spiral development
• An open business model,
allowing the best of industry
to provide components of
systems
• Integrated commercial-offthe-shelf (COTS) technology
ensures proven, best-inindustry capability
S
EWIP, a spiral-block development program, provides an immediate
improvement to the legacy surface ship Electronic Warfare (EW)
detection and countermeasures system, the AN/SLQ-32. Since 2003,
General Dynamics has successfully performed the Lead Systems
Integrator activities for SEWIP.
Spiral development
program delivering
tactically significant,
state of the practice
capabilities based
on modular, open
architecture.
SEWIP’s open architecture allows rapid integration of emerging
technologies in Anti-ship Missile Defense and EW Situational
Awareness. Ship defense remains a top priority of the U.S. Navy due
to the proliferation of advanced anti-ship missiles. Effective platform
defense depends on shipboard EW for early detection, location and
classification of electronic emitters - especially in the littorals.

As Lead Systems Integrator, General Dynamics looks for future
Electronic Surveillance, Electronic Attack or Electronic Protect
technology improvements to help maintain, regain or augment the
overall EW tactical advantage.

SEWIP
Innovative Electronic Warfare (EW) Solutions for the
21st Century
SEWIP Block 1 improvements focus on the rapid development
and fielding of low-risk upgrades that will enhance current AN/
SLQ-32 warfighting capabilities while solving the critical hardware
obsolescence issues residing in the legacy system.
With18 installs completed and 103 additional installs planned,
Block 1A incorporates the updated Improved Control and Display
(ICAD) Human Machine Interface and the Electronic Surveillance
Enhancements (ESE) upgrade. This provides the obsolete AN/
SLQ-32 display and pulse processing with a much-needed refresh
based on commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) technology.
Block 1B1, 38 installs completed and 29 planned, introduces
standalone Specific Emitter Identification (SEI). Future SEWIP
Block 1B upgrades continue with the addition of integrated SEI,
High Gain High Sensitivity (HGHS) capabilities and networkcentric and mission planning capabilities.
Engineering Environment
• Open Architecture/Portability via MTM Middleware
• C++, JAVA, Solaris, and Linux software Development
• COTS/VME Based Hardware
• Integrated Development Environment
• NAVSEA Compliant Technical Source Data and IETM
Development
• Rational Tools Requirements Utilization
• PCVS Configuration Management
• CMM Certified Level 3
• ISO:9000 Certified
Block II and beyond will focus on replacing the legacy AN/SLQ-32
all together with new hardware (receiver/transmitter) and software
improvements, resulting in an innovative, effective and cost
efficient EW Suite for the 21st Century.
Features
• Electronic Warfare sensors integration
• Network connectivity
• Advanced Human Systems Integration (HSI)
• Advanced Integrated Training Solutions
• Rapid COTS Insertion (RCI), ability to upgrade capability every
12-24 months
• Transformational architectural framework
