Surface ASW

Abstract

The Anti-Submarine Warfare (ASW) Advanced Development project provides advanced development demonstration and validation of technology for potential surface sonar and combat system applications. Program Element (PE) 0603553N has been designated to support emerging multi-static technologies, and the CNO's ASW Initiative. Efforts focus on resolution of technical issues associated with providing capability against the FY09 and beyond threat, with emphasis on shallow water/littoral areas, deep water Undersea Warfare (USW), and demonstration and validation of USW concepts and technology. Key technology areas include active sonar transmissions; advanced signal and data processing; active sonar classification; towed and hull arrays; transducer technology; and periscope detection techniques. Starting in FY07, the CNO's ASW Initiative (formerly known as Task Force ASW) included the development of new and innovative technologies. Efforts associated with these technologies include design, development, integration, and testing of future undersea superiority systems. These systems include distributed sensor systems; Vertical Line Array; static active buoy fields; submarine countermeasures; compact rapid-effect weapons; longer-range radio systems; multi-static sonar; and multi-sensor data fusion, including multi-platform data fusion and net-centric USW concepts. Project Unit 9999 is comprised of Congressional Adds for Small Business Technology Insertion (FY09), Automated Readiness Measurement Systems (FY09) and Low Frequency Active Towed Sonar Organic ASW Capability (FY10).
