Sub Combat System Improvement (ADV)
Abstract
FY 2021 TO FY 2022 BUDGET REQUEST INCREASE: The FY 2021 ($55.171M) to FY 2022 ($55.442M) budget increase ($+0.271M) was driven by an increase to the LVA development program required to pace the threat of evolutionary quieting of adversary submarines. Funding supports the procurement of sensors, urethanes, and cables necessary to fabricate a Conformal Acoustic Velocity Sonar (CAVES) LVA test panel and to stand up a SSN 688i Class CAVES LVA working group that will identify requirements and initiate design concepts. The Submarine Combat System Improvement (Advanced) (Non-ACAT) 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, Office of Naval Research (ONR), Future Naval Capabilities (FNC), and Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (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), a Bow Conformal Array (BCA), and Large Flank Array (LFA) technologies are also being pursued. The focus of sensor processing technology efforts through the Advanced Processing Build (APB) program will address improvements in imaging, tactical control, Electronic Warfare (EW) and acoustics, including detection, localization, classification, ranging, tracking, situational awareness, tactical decision aids, command decision support tools and displays and other functions essential to mission success. APB will also develop capabilities related to Unmanned Aerial and Undersea Vehicles and automated technologies specific to China, Russia, Iran, and Korea. Technologies and/or capabilities developed under this Project will be shared, as applicable to reduce costs and optimize reuse, with development programs for surface ship sonar, Advanced Capability Build (ACB) and surveillance platforms, Advanced Surveillance Build (ASB). ACB and APB are managed under a common development process titled AxB. While each platform retains its uniqueness and focus in functional domains essential to mission success, a premium is placed on development of common capabilities and modular architecture technologies to maximize commonality and cost effectiveness.
