Sub Combat System Improvement (ADV)
Abstract
FY16 to FY17 increase is due to the ramp-up of the development of Electronic Warfare (EW) improvements within APB efforts. EW develops ship vulnerability assessment tools to counter potential adversaries that are increasingly equipped with modern radars as well as non-Navy maritime traffic congesting littoral waters with high-end electronic signals. EW is a top priority in the CNO's Design for Maintaining Maritime Superiority (Jan-16). The Submarine Combat System Improvement (Advanced) (Non-ACAT) Project 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. The Advanced Sensor development program develops and tests new sensors and demonstrates large array configurations. Current efforts are directed at Towed Array sensor technologies, telemetry, and architecture, to improve reliability and performance while decreasing program life cycle costs. For large array configurations, Conformal Acoustic Velocity Sonar (CAVES), Wide Aperture Array (WAA), Large Vertical Aperture (LVA) and Large Flank Array (LFA) technologies are also being pursued. Light-Weight Low Cost Conformal Array (LWLCCA) is completing development and transition to fielding. The focus of sensor processing technology efforts through the APB program will address improvements in imaging, tactical control, Electronic Warfare (EW) and acoustics, including detection, localization, classification, ranging, tracking, situational awareness, tactical decision aides, command decision support tools and displays and other functions essential to mission success. Technologies and/or capabilities developed here are shared to optimize re-use and cost effectiveness with surface and surveillance programs under the AxB program management methodology. ACB, ASB and APB may co-develop capabilities and modular architecture technologies to maximize commonality and cost effectiveness. Development efforts may be augmented by innovative concepts generated through the TANG Design Thinking process that includes Fleet operational end-users in capability design.
