Surface Ship Torpedo Defense (SSTD)

Abstract

The Countermeasure Anti-Torpedo (CAT) program developed a canisterized Anti-Torpedo Torpedo (ATT). The Torpedo Warning System (TWS) developed the required torpedo detection, classification and localization (TDCL) systems. The countermeasure TWS and CAT systems make up the Anti-Torpedo Torpedo Defense System (ATTDS). The funding supports mission readiness for Anti-Torpedo Torpedo Defense System (ATTDS) equipped CVNs. In FY21, funding supports the sundown of two systems and mission readiness for four (4) CVN deployment cycles prior to their CVN system shutdown. The ATTDS provides a hard kill torpedo defensive capability on High Value Units (HVU's). The program has developed and fielded five ATTDS Engineering Design Model (EDM)systems on CVNs. Each EDM system consists one TWS with a load out of a maximum of eight CATs. The program delivered its first prototype system in FY13 and has delivered and installed its fifth and final system in FY17. Along with delivering and installing systems on CVN's, the ATTDS Program developed system salvo software through five test events and executed three Quick Reaction Assessment (QRA) tests. Research and development of new technologies and capabilities developed under the Future Naval Capabilities (FNC), Small Business and Innovative Research (SBIR), and other Research, Development, Test & Evaluation (RDT&E) initiatives are evaluated to determine their effectiveness and impact on improving ship survivability. Evaluations of new and emerging hardware and software in representative acoustic environments, against projected threats using both digital and hardware-in-the-loop simulations. Incorporation of the technology into the appropriate product line upon successful evaluation.
