Surface ASW

Abstract

The objective of this Program Element (PE) is to pursue the development of technologies with the goal of improving Anti-Submarine Warfare (ASW) effectiveness to the point of rendering the enemy submarine irrelevant against U.S. and coalition forces. 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 U.S. surface combatants, thus requiring a focused effort to identify the most promising ASW technologies through a process of discovery, assessment, experimentation, and analysis. Studies, experiments, and/or technology developments under this PE 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. The products from these efforts will be provided to the Advanced Capability Build (ACB) program supporting the continuing improvement of the AN/SQQ-89A(V)15 Surface Ship ASW Combat System.
