Surface Ship Torpedo Defense (SSTD)

Abstract

The Surface Ship Torpedo Defense (SSTD) program provides a layered torpedo defense capability with four efforts; two of which are currently in development. The Countermeasure Anti- Torpedo (CAT) program develops a canisterized Anti-Torpedo Torpedo (ATT). The Torpedo Warning System (TWS) develops the required TDCL systems. The Countermeasure TWS and CAT systems make up the Anti-Torpedo Torpedo Defense System (ATTDS) The program will develop and field six ATTDS EDM systems on CVNs, two of which will be delivered in a RO-RO configuration and one hybrid prototype system on USS GHW BUSH. The program delivered one hybrid prototype EDM system in FY13 on USS GHW BUSH. The next system was delivered in FY14; this system was delivered in a roll-on/roll-off (RO-RO) configuration and installed on USS Roosevelt. The program installed one additional RO-RO (USS Eisenhower) and one EDM (USS Truman)in FY15. The program will build and install two EDMs (USS Roosevelt (RO/RO to EDM) and USS NIMITZ) in FY16. ATTDS system will be installed on one CVN and one Combat Logistics Force (CLF) ship (both HVUs) with IOC defined as FY22.
