Submarine Acoustic War Dev
Abstract
This project supports the Submarine Acoustic Warfare System (SAWS) program to maintain and improve the survivability of all U.S. Submarine classes in response to torpedo attack. This program funds: 1. The Next Generation Countermeasure (NGCM) program, (ACAT III) currently in Engineering and Manufacturing Development (E&MD). The key new capabilities NGCM brings are: adaptive countermeasure (ACM) technology with full duplex capability and mobility packaged in a three inch diameter body. Milestone C is nominally 2020. 2. The Torpedo Defense Working Group (TDWG). A working group comprised of fleet, resource sponsor, and acquisition community representatives to assess countermeasure effectiveness against fleet threats, both known and projected, with associated studies, models, and simulations. 3. The Technical Direction Agent and In-Service Engineering Agent hardware and software development support for Acoustic Devices Countermeasure (ADC) (ADC MK 2, 3 & 4, NAE Beacon) as well as Countermeasures Set, Acoustic (CSA) MK 2, MK 3, MK 4 systems and Acoustic Augmentation Support Systems (AASS) in the Acoustic Augmentation Support Program (AASP), including component level technical insertion. 4. Research and development 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 evaluated in representative acoustic environments, against projected threats through both digital and hardware-in-the-loop simulations, to determine their effectiveness and how that improves submarine survivability. The technology is then incorporated into the appropriate countermeasure.

- Change Summary Explanation
- Technical: Not applicable. Schedule: The NGCM program restructure occurred in FY14. The Navy has made the decision to let the two existing development contracts expire. A single new development contract resulting in both fully functional EDM and LRIP quantities will be awarded in FY17. The developmental effort in FY15 and FY16 will include Modeling and Simulation (M&S), Torpedo Threat Integration for high fidelity NGCM countermeasure logic, Concepts Of Operations (CONOPS) for fleet tactics, Test and Evaluation Master Plan (TEMP), Tactical Decision Aid (TACDA) start, Program Life-Cycle Cost Estimate (PLCCE) and acquisition documentation including the RFP for the new developmental contract. The TDWG and Weapons Analysis Facility (WAF) efforts were increased to restore efforts to provide more valid and current submarine survivability assessments. Financial: Miscellaneous rate adjustments.
