Deployable Surveillance Systems
Abstract
The Deployable Surveillance Systems (DSS) project (0344), complementing the Fixed Surveillance System (FSS) and Surveillance Towed Array Sensor System (SURTASS), provides flexible and responsive wide area surveillance to the Theater Undersea Warfare (TUSW) commanders worldwide. DSS will operate as adjunct systems to meet the established FSS and SURTASS missions and to meet additional missions as articulated in the OPNAV Top Level Requirements documents and follow-on Course of Action Analysis (COAA) and as dictated by TUSW commanders evolving and emergent operational requirements. DSS is comprised of the following systems: Deep Water Passive (DWP) and Deep Water Active (DWA). Informed by TUSW Offset operations and the tailored requirements process, the DSS Middle Tier Acquisition (MTA) Rapid Fielding Program will focus initially on the DWP increment and associated spiral development updates. Spiral developments to meet the evolving submarine threat will leverage on-going Navy, Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), and small business research efforts including processing and sensor technology. The follow-on increment will focus on DWA where FY23-29 includes funds that will provide a rapidly deployable sustained surveillance capability in response to emergent Fleet Undersea Warfare (USW) coverage gaps to include mitigating array outages or platform shortages. FY24 funding will be used to refurbish and update DWA clusters procured in previous years and conduct a fleet demonstration. FY24 funded efforts will be used to (1) prepare the rationale for using a MTA Program for a future DWA program; (2) conduct Fleet demonstrations to validate Top-Level Requirements; and (3) identify full DWA MTA funding requirements. FY25 will initiate funding for the DWA MTA Rapid Prototyping Program.
