Surface ASW
Abstract
The CNO's ASW initiative is a focused effort to identify the most promising ASW technologies through a process of discovery, assessment, experimentation, and analysis. The CNO's ASW initiative will coordinate the development of technologies which move beyond incremental or marginal improvements in ASW effectiveness. The CNO's vision of "fundamentally changing the way ASW is currently conducted to render the enemy submarine irrelevant against US and coalition forces" necessitates a change in the calculus of how the US Navy conducts ASW. Central to the CNO's ASW initiatives achieving the CNO's vision are several innovative approaches which include using the art-of-the-technologically-possible; minimizing force-on-force; reducing the ASW end-to-end time line; supporting rapid maneuver; developing off-board and distributed ASW detection systems; and finding innovative weapons solutions. To achieve these key approaches, it is essential to develop new ASW technologies and conduct at-sea experiments to prove/disprove technology concepts and collect corroborating data. An OPNAV letter of direction limits the scope of this project, beginning in FY10, to the development/test of CAS/VDS and the continuation of studies in support of the ASW Initiative thereafter. Starting in FY13, the CAS/VDS effort has been transferred to the Littoral Combat Ship PE 0603581N, Project 3129 budget, as part of the ASW Mission Module.
