Surface Ship Torpedo Defense (SSTD)

Abstract

The project uses technologies developed under the previous ATTDS program to provide a detect-to-engage hardkill torpedo defense capability. The Countermeasure Anti-Torpedo (CAT) program develops a canisterized Anti-Torpedo Torpedo (ATT) as an ACAT II program. The Torpedo Warning System (TWS) develops the required ship systems as an ACAT III program. Like the previous ATTDS system, the new TWS system will require fielding of the AN/SLQ-25D (NIXIE) system as a tow point for the TWS towed sensors. This will require interfacing NIXIE power and data transfer with TWS. The first increment of the TWS system will be installed on one CVN and one Combat Logistics Force (CLF) ship (both HVUs) with an IOC of FY 2017. The first increment of the CAT will be installed on HVUs in FY 2021. Additionally, the program will develop and field two surface ship torpedo defense prototype systems (TWS/CAT) on two CVNs.
