Surface Ship Torpedo Defense

Abstract

The growth between FY 2016 and FY 2017 funding requested is to enable the transition to production of the Anti-Torpedo Torpedo (ATT) to industry and to allow industry to demonstrate manufacturing processes to ensure delivery of a product within cost and schedule. During FY 2017, the CAT program will reach Milestone B and commence the Engineering and Manufacturing Development phase of the program. The TWS program will perform first article testing prior to the start of LRIP in FY 2018. The Surface Ship Torpedo Defense (SSTD) program provides a detect-to-engage layered torpedo defense capability. The four major efforts that comprise SSTD and the AN/SLQ-25 (NIXIE) system, Torpedo Warning System (TWS), the Countermeasure Anti-Torpedo (CAT) and Acoustic Device Countermeasure (ADC MK2 Mod4). CAT and TWS are development programs. The CAT program develops a canisterized Anti-Torpedo Torpedo (ATT) and is anticipated to be an ACAT II program. The TWS develops the required torpedo detection, classification and localization (TDCL) ship systems and is an ACAT III program. The TWS and CAT systems make up the Anti-Torpedo Torpedo Defense System (ATTDS). The program will develop and field six ATTDS Engineering Design Model (EDM) systems on CVNs. Each EDM system consists of one TWS and eight CATs. The systems were accelerated due to the lack of hard-kill torpedo defense on High Value Units (HVUs) which has been exacerbated by recent real-world events and evolving threats. The systems provide a hard-kill torpedo defense capability in advance of the IOC as part of the program of record. The program delivered one hybrid prototype system in FY13 on USS GHW BUSH. The next prototype was delivered in FY14; this system was delivered in a roll-on/roll-off (RO-RO) configuration and installed on USS Roosevelt. The program will build and install one additional RO-RO (USS Eisenhower) and one EDM (USS Truman)in FY15. The program will build and install two EDMs (USS Roosevelt (RO/RO to EDM) and USS NIMITZ) in FY16. In FY17 the ATTDS program will award a competitive contract to validate the CAT Technical Data Package which will lead to the production of the proof of manufacturing (POM) units in FY18. The program will also perform first article testing on the TWS system in FY17. Overall, our program will continue to focus on first providing torpedo defense capability to High Value Units (HVU). For the Initial Operational Capability (IOC) the system will be installed on one CVN and one Combat Logistics Force (CLF) ship (both HVUs) with IOC in FY22.

Change Summary Explanation
The FY 2015 changes reflect a reduction of $1.079 million as a result of SBIR transfer and a $7.1M reprogramming for at sea integration testing. The FY 2016 funding request reflects reduction of $6.085 million for In House Systems Engineering growth ($3.585 million) and Systems Development growth ($2.500 million). The FY 2017 funding reflects an increase of $15.900 million to enable the transition to production of the ATT to industry and to allow industry to demonstrate manufacturing processes to ensure delivery of a product within cost and schedule. During FY 2017, the CAT program will reach Milestone B and commence the Engineering and Manufacturing Development phase of the program. The TWS program will perform first article testing prior to the start of LRIP in FY2018. Also, FY2017 reflects decreases of $1.370 million as a result of rates/miscellaneous adjustments and $3.685 million for the Department of the Navy to comply with the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2015.
