Submarine Acoustic War Dev

Abstract

The Submarine Acoustic Warfare Development program element is comprised of the Submarine Defensive Warfare Program and a Congressional ADD for Compact Rapid Attack Weapon Program (CRAW). The objective is to maintain and improve the survivability of all U.S. submarine classes in response to torpedo attack. Efforts include on the Next Generation Countermeasure (NGCM) program, the Torpedo Defense Working Group (TDWG), Technical Direction Agent (TDA) and In-Service Engineering Agent (ISEA) hardware and software development support for Acoustic Devices Countermeasures (ADCs), Countermeasures Set, Acoustic (CSA) systems and Acoustic Augmentation Support Systems (AASS) in the Acoustic Augmentation Support Program (AASP), including component level technical insertion. Also, this program transitions the 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. Project 9999/Congressional Add for Compact Rapid Attack Weapon Program (CRAW) will identify the program requirements for a CRAW Program, to determine and justify a new start program based on employing the 6" diameter Countermeasure Anti-Torpedo (CAT) in the submarine force.

Change Summary Explanation
Schedule: After restructuring the NGCM program in FY 15, the schedule reflects an accelerated IOC of FY23, from the FY27 date. The developmental efforts will include torpedo threat analysis and integration, Concept of Operations (CONOPS) for fleet tactics evaluation, Test and Evaluation Master Plan (TEMP) completion, Tactical Decision Aid (TacDA) development, and sabot development for External Countermeasure Launcher (ECL) capability. A single, new development contract resulting in fully functional EDM device variants will be awarded in FY 17. The developmental contract will consist of a 4 year development effort and the 5th year will provide Low-Rate Initial Production (LRIP) units for accomplishing operational testing (OT) in FY22-23. Milestone C is notionally planned for FY21. Financial: Decrease in Submarine Acoustic War Dev RDTEN by $.227M as required for the Department of the Navy to comply with the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2015. FY 2017 funding request was reduced by $0.282 million to account for the availability of prior years execution balance. FY 2016 $0.800 million was added for the Compact Rapid Attack Weapon Program. FY 2017 base budget increase of $3.360M to stabilize the Next Generation Countermeasure (NGCM) program and associated SAWS research and development efforts.
