Surface Ship Torpedo Defense (SSTD)

Abstract

ATTDS is a system of systems, comprised of the Torpedo Warning System (TWS) and the Countermeasure Anti-Torpedo Torpedo (CAT). The CAT program developed a canisterized Anti-Torpedo Torpedo (ATT) that provides hard kill torpedo defensive capability for High Value Units (HVUs). The TWS program developed active and passive towed arrays, and electronics processing cabinets to provide Torpedo Detection, Classification, and Localization (TDCL). The SSTD program has developed and fielded five (5) ATTDS Engineering Design Models (EDMs) across five (5) CVNs. Each EDM system is one (1) TWS with a load out of a maximum of eight (8) CATs. In FY20, the ATTDS Program commenced sundown efforts to return the five (5) CVNs to their original configuration. Two (2) system removals completed in FY22, with one (1) more scheduled for FY23. FY22 fund supports the demilitarization and disposal of sixteen (16) CATs, and FY23 funding will support the demilitarization and disposal of the remaining eight (8) CATs. FY23 and FY24 funding will provide minimal support to the 2 remaining CVN installations with system preservation the primary focus. FY25 through FY27 funding will support completing the removal and disposition of the remaining ATTDS assets.
