ASW Systems Development - MIP

Abstract

In January 2008, OPNAV renamed project unit 0490 from Project Beartrap to Airborne Acoustic Intelligence (AAI). The mission of AAI (CNO Project K-0416) is to provide Sound Pressure Level (SPL) quality recordings of targets of interest and an associated new technology, rapid prototyping mechanism for the application of state-of-the-art collection sensors. The program will develop and rapidly deploy new technology concepts in hardware and software to effectively address emerging littoral threats and to improve the present Undersea Warfare capability in support of Sea Shield/Sea Trial Initiatives. AAI also provides a measurement analysis capability to reconstruct, analyze, and develop active and target strength measurement validation. The AAI data collection program provides passive and active acoustic and non-acoustic data essential for the design and development of environmental models, sensors, weapons, software algorithms, and tactical decision aids. AAI employs developmental and prototypical hardware installed in uniquely configured ASW aircraft to collect data of interest, and specially configured ground support facilities to conduct reconstruction and analysis of this data. AAI includes calibrated recording systems, advanced detection and tracking systems, special sensors, advanced processing systems and techniques and specially derived operational tactics. Funding was moved in FY11 thru FY15 from PE 0603254N to this new PE 0303354N and is a Military Intelligence Program.

• Change Summary Explanation: Technical: 0490. Defined Active Measurement Validation as a separate cost category for improved programmatic tracking. Active Measurement Validation is an output product of the Active Target Strength (T.S.) project. Schedule: Not applicable. FY11 from previous President's Budget is shown as zero because no FY11-15 data was presented in President's Budget 2010.
