Sub Sonar Improvement (ENG)
Abstract
The AN/BQQ-10(V) Acoustic Rapid COTS Insertion (A-RCI) aubmarine SONAR system will continue to add new capabilities via Technical Insertion (TI)/Advanced Processing Build (APB) process while working across Submarine Warfare Federated Tactical System (SWFTS) programs to transition to Development Security Operations (DevSecOps) software processes and migrate to a cloud based architecture. The Navy is pursuing a transformation across SWFTS (PE 0604503N Project 0219, PE 0604562N Project 0236, PE 0604777N Project 0253 and PE 0604503N Project 0775) to maximize cyber-resiliency and the speed of capability delivery. FY 2023 funding request reflects a net increase of $1.379 million from FY 2021 to FY 2022. Funding increase is associated with APB-21 design, integration, and testing efforts associated with TI-22, which transitions Acoustic Rapid COTS Insertion (A-RCI) to Development, Cyber Security, and Operations (DevSecOps) in the TI/APB process to better align with software development industry standards and meet fleet demands for rapid capability deliveries as well as increased focus on machine learning, automation, and behavioral analysis. Increase also associated with design, integration, and testing efforts associated with the Light Weight Wide Aperture Array (LwWAA) technical refresh for Block I/II VIRGINIA Class Submarines. This program delivers block updates to Sonar Systems installed on SSN 688, 688I, SSN 21, VIRGINIA, SSBN, and SSGN Class Submarines to maintain clear acoustical, tactical, and operational superiority over Submarines and Surface Combatants in all scenarios through detection, classification, localization, and contact following. Acoustics Rapid COTS Insertion (A-RCI) provides multi-phased evolutionary development geared toward addressing acoustic superiority issues through the rapid introduction of interim development products applicable to all Classes of Submarines. - A-RCI Phase I and II introduced Towed Array processing improvements - Phase III introduced Spherical Array processing improvements - Phase IV provided High Frequency (HF) Array processing improvements for SSN 688I, SSGN, SSBN, VIRGINIA, and SSN 21 Class Submarines. As part of the Navy's plan to maintain acoustic superiority for in-service submarines, a joint cooperative effort was established to deliver bi-annual Advanced Processing Builds (APBs) to prevent obsolescence and deliver ongoing capability improvements. - Capabilities in the APBs will be integrated as part of A-RCI certified systems. Sensor Efforts provide increased operational capabilities for littoral operations, situational awareness, and reliability improvements.
