MK 48 ADCAP

Abstract

MK48 ADCAP program executes incremental development of weapon performance improvements in two development product areas: (1) APBs, and (2) torpedo technology insertion. The budget enables ACAT III development to address CNO defined capability-based requirements and mission needs. This program is tied to development programs that leverage a joint United States/Australia ACP to develop MK48 ADCAP; and FNC technologies being developed by the ONR. APB software upgrades will improve torpedo performance in challenging water and countered environments through incorporation of new algorithms designed to address broadband, multiband, classifications and tactics processing changes. Hardware technology insertions will improve weapon performance against slow/low doppler targets. It provides improved target detection at long and short ranges and improved counter measure rejection in countered and shallow water scenarios. Availability will be improved through development of a G&C replacement and an ATE replacement.
