Surface ASW
Abstract
The Rest-of-the-World (ROW) continues to produce quieter, more lethal submarine technologies. Adaptable commercial technologies are readily available to the ROW navies. These trends increase the threats to United States (US) surface combatants, thus requiring a focused effort to identify the most promising Anti-Submarine Warfare (ASW) technologies through a process of discovery, assessment, experimentation, and analysis. This project will pursue the development of technologies with the goal of improving ASW effectiveness to the point of rendering the enemy submarine irrelevant against US and coalition forces. Studies, experiments and/or technology developments under this project will seek to improve the ability of surface combatants to detect, classify, localize, and track submerged contacts and detect and defend against modern torpedoes. To achieve these objectives, it is essential to develop new ASW technologies and conduct at-sea experiments to prove/disprove technology concepts and collect corroborating data. The product of these efforts will be provided to the Advanced Capability Build (ACB) program supporting the continuing improvement of the AN/SQQ-89 Surface ASW Combat System.
