Surface Ship Torpedo Defense (SSTD)

Abstract

The Surface Ship Torpedo Defense (SSTD) program provides a detect-to-engage hardkill torpedo defense capability through two development programs. 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. The system also requires fielding the AN/SLQ-25X (NIXIE) system (previously called the AN/SLQ-25D) as a tow point for the TWS towed sensors. This requires interfacing NIXIE power and data transfer with TWS. SSTD system will be installed on one CVN and one Combat Logistics Force (CLF) ship (both HVUs) with an IOC of FY2018. The first increment of the CAT will be installed on HVUs in FY2018. Additionally, the program will develop and field six prototype surface ship torpedo defense prototype systems CVNs and one hybrid prototype system on a forward deployed CVN.
