MK-48 ADCAP
Abstract
Funding increased by $55.109M from FY22 to FY23 for: MK 48 MOD 8 (APB 6/TI-1) funding increased by $17.980M from FY22 to FY23 to support: - APB 6/TI-1 Material procurements by the contractor for Proof-of- Design (POD) and Proof-of-Manufacturing (POM) deliverables ($0.435M) - Software development and test and evaluation of APB 6 for implementation on MOD 7 and MOD 8 hardware. Fielding of this capability will occur on MOD 7 one year prior to MOD 8 ($10.210M) - Engineering test events for the TI-1 Improved Post Launch Communications System (IPLCS)($7.335M) MK 48 general development funding increased by $3.500M from FY22 to FY23 to establish a new Office of Naval Research (ONR) Future Naval Capability (FNC) program for Afterbody Upgrades supporting future MK 48 MOD 7, MOD 8, and MOD 9 upgrades. MK 48 MOD 9 (APB 7/TI-2) funding increased by $33.629M from FY22 to FY23 to fund: - Additional funding for labor, material procurements, and testing resources required for significant increase in prototype development, land-based and in-water testing ($33.629M) A new cost category in support of the ONR Afterbody Upgrades FNC has been established with funding starting in FY23. The ONR Afterbody Upgrades FNC program starts in FY22 with program office funding contributions beginning in FY23. The ONR Afterbody Upgrades FNC will develop technologies to improve torpedo effectiveness that will transition to the MK 48 MOD 7, MOD 8, and MOD 9 upgrades. The MK 48 ADCAP (Advanced Capability) Research, Development, Test and Evaluation (RDT&E) program executes incremental development of weapon performance improvements in two development product areas: (1) Advanced Processor Builds (APBs) (operational software), and (2) Torpedo Technology Insertions (TIs) (hardware). This Program Element (0205632N/0366) is tied to development programs that leverage a joint United States/Australia Armaments Cooperative Project (ACP) and develop MK 48 ADCAP technologies developed by the ONR and SCO. The Torpedo APB development testing and implementation process is being utilized to address shallow water as a critical operating area to counter near-peer adversaries and third world diesel electric submarines. In-water testing, in conjunction with laboratory simulation efforts, has shown that significant performance improvements can be made by implementing changes to weapon tactics and software algorithms. The TAPB program also leverages the RAN joint torpedo program and technologies developed by ONR and SCO in the areas of torpedo broadband signal processing, tactics processing, and alertment. Torpedo Technology Insertions (TIs) will provide for significant torpedo hardware improvements and upgrades, including the transition and testing of advanced technologies from the R&D community. This approach will incorporate developmental testing of transitioning technologies from ONR and SCO for ADCAP upgrades in the areas of torpedo sensors, weapon propulsion, weapon/platform connectivity, and improved fusing. These efforts will continue torpedo development investment at a lower cost and shorter term than traditional torpedo programs. The MK 48 MOD 8 (APB 6/TI-1) Heavyweight Torpedo (HWT) program is a significant upgrade to the MK 48 MOD 7 HWT which will consist of an operational software upgrade referred to as APB 6 and a hardware upgrade referred to as TI-1. TI-1 will include a Guidance and Control (G&C) section upgrade including a new Sonar Assembly (higher density array, transmitter, receiver), and an Improved Post Launch Communications System (IPLCS). IPLCS will replace the existing copper guidance wire with fiber optics. These improvements are needed for increased performance in the presence of advanced countermeasures, shallow water, low Doppler targets, Very Shallow Water (VSW), improve fuzing, and Anti Surface Warfare (ASuW). TI-1 will also include features from three ONR FNC programs. The MK 48 MOD 9 (APB 7/TI-2) represents significant improvements to the MK 48 MOD 7 and MOD 8 heavyweight torpedo (HWT) including propulsion upgrades providing extended range and advance sensing capabilities against surface and subsurface targets. MK 48 MOD 8 (APB 6/TI-1) and MK 48 MOD 9 (APB 7/TI-2) provide two distinctly different capabilities and are operationally intended for different mission sets. These improvements consist of the APB 7 software upgrades and Technology Insertion 2 (TI-2) hardware upgrades, which provides advanced sensing, processing, and propulsion technologies developed under OSD SCO, and ONR FNC research and development programs.

- Change Summary Explanation
- The FY22 budget was decreased by (-$13.733M), as a result of a excess to need reduction for TI-2 (-$11.025M) and APB 7 (-$2.708M). The FY 2023 funding request was adjusted by $2.2M to account for the availability of prior year execution balances. Funding increased by $55.109M from FY22 to FY23 for: MK 48 MOD 8 (APB 6/TI-1) funding increased by $17.980M from FY22 to FY23 to support: - APB 6/TI-1 Material procurements by the contractor for Proof-of- Design (POD) and Proof-of-Manufacturing (POM) deliverables ($0.435M) - Software development and test and evaluation of APB 6 for implementation on MOD 7 and MOD 8 hardware. Fielding of this capability will occur on MOD 7 1 year prior to MOD 8 ($10.210M) - Engineering test events for the TI-1 Improved Post Launch Communications System (IPLCS)($7.335M) MK 48 general development funding increased by $3.500M from FY22 to FY23 to establish a new Office of Naval Research (ONR) Future Naval Capability (FNC) program for Afterbody Upgrades supporting future MK 48 MOD 7, MOD 8, and MOD 9 upgrades.
