Submarine Acoustic War Dev

Abstract

This project develops a Submarine Defensive Warfare System (SDWS) to improve the effectiveness and survivability of all U.S. Submarine classes. This project funds the Next Generation Countermeasure (NGCM) efforts which entail simulating and determining the effectiveness of new technologies and capabilities developed under the Future Naval Capabilities (FNC), Small Business and Innovative Research (SBIR), and other Research, Development, Test & Evaluation (RDT&E) initiatives. New and emerging hardware and software are rigorously evaluated in a representative acoustic environment, through both digital and hardware-in-the-loop simulations, to determine their readiness for inserting this technology into the NGCM. The key new capabilities are adaptive countermeasure (ACM) with a full duplex and mobility. Funding provides In-Service Engineering Agent and Technical Direction Agent hardware/software support for in-service CSA MK 2 and CSA MK 3 systems, including obsolete unit-level Technical Refresh. Additionally, CSA MK 3 system-level modernization (TACLAN integration/Technical Insertion) has been initiated.
