Sub Combat System Improvement (ADV)

Abstract

Project Unit 0223: The Advanced Submarine Combat Systems Development Non-ACAT program supports Navy Submarine Acoustic Superiority and Technology Insertion Initiatives by the application of advanced development and testing of sensor processing and tactical control systems improvements. This Project addresses technology challenges to improve tactical control in littoral and open ocean environments for a variety of operational missions including peacetime engagement, surveillance, battle space preparation, deterrence, regional sea denial, precision strike, task group support, and ground warfare support. These technologies, developed by Navy technology bases, the private sector, ONR, FNC, and DARPA are then transitioned. Prototype hardware/software systems are developed to demonstrate technologically promising system concepts in laboratory and at-sea submarine environments. Specifically, the focus of the technology efforts are APBs for acoustics, imaging, electronic warfare, tactical control, navigation, and Advanced Sonar Arrays. APBs develop and demonstrate improvements to current and future sensor processing/combat control systems. The Advanced Sonar Arrays program develops and tests new sensors and demonstrates large array configurations. Technologies and/or capabilities developed here are shared to optimize re-use and cost effectiveness with surface and surveillance programs. ACB, ASB and APB may co-develop capabilities and modular architecture technologies to maximize commonality and cost effectiveness.
