Advanced Submarine System Development
Abstract
This program element supports innovative research and development in submarine Hull, Mechanical and Electrical (HM&E) and combat systems technologies and the subsequent evaluation, demonstration, and validation for submarine platforms. It will increase the submarine technology base and provide subsystem design options not currently feasible. The program element also supports programs transitioning from Science and Technology (S&T), Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), Independent Research and Development, and Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) projects. Project 0223: The Submarine Combat System Improvement (Advanced) (Non-ACAT) Project supports Navy Submarine Acoustic Superiority and Technology Insertion Initiatives through the application of advanced development and testing of sensors and sensor processing systems supporting tactical control systems improvements. This Project transitions technologies developed by Navy technology bases, the private sector, Office of Naval Research (ONR), Future Naval Capabilities (FNC), and DARPA. The Project addresses technology challenges to improve tactical control in littoral and open ocean environments for a variety of operational missions including peacetime engagement, surveillance, battle space preparation, deterrence, regional sea denial, precision strike, task group support, and ground warfare support. Prototype hardware/software systems are developed to demonstrate technologically promising system concepts in laboratory and at-sea submarine environments. The focus of hardware systems will be the development and testing of advanced sensor technologies and large array configurations intended to support increased detection ranges and accuracy with increased reliability and lower life cycle costs. This Project is funded under demonstration and validation, as it develops and integrates hardware for experimental tests related to specific platform applications. The focus of software systems will be sensor processing technology efforts conducted under the Advanced Processing Build (APB) program that develops and demonstrates improvements to current and future sensor processing/combat control systems improving detection, localization, classification, decision support, counter-detection vulnerability, and other functions essential to mission success. Technologies and/or capabilities developed under this Project will be shared, as applicable, with surface and surveillance sensor processing/combat system development programs. In particular, development programs for surface ship sonar, Advanced Capability Build (ACB) and surveillance platforms, Advanced Surveillance Build (ASB), will work closely with the APB program to optimize software reuse. Beginning in FY 2015, all three programs (ACB, ASB and APB) are managed under a common development organization and process entitled AxB. While each platform retains its uniqueness and focus in functional domains essential to mission success, a premium is placed on development of common capabilities and modular architecture technologies to maximize commonality and cost effectiveness. This Project will participate in, and take advantage of, the Tactical Advancements for the Next Generation (TANG) initiative that utilizes Commercial Industrial Design Thinking methodologies to engage the Fleet in generating innovative improvement concepts for Submarine, Surface and Surveillance systems. Project 2033: The Advanced Submarine Systems Development (ASSD) Program is a non-acquisition program that develops and matures technologies for successful integration into future and modernized submarine classes, thus lowering acquisition and life cycle program costs while improving mission capability. ASSD transitions Hull, Mechanical, and Electrical (HM&E) technologies and future naval concepts from Science & Technology (S&T) and Research and Development (R&D) to operational platforms; performs tests and demonstrates submarine design and naval architecture products destined for integration into future submarine classes or backfit into existing fleet assets; develops, initially integrates, and does test validation of leading payload concepts for submarine integration in support of the Design for Undersea Warfare; and operates unique R&D experimentation, modeling, testing and simulation facilities to enhance submarine stealth, maneuverability, capability, and affordability. The program also supports Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR), Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR), Office of Naval Research (ONR), Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) programs, and near and mid-term technology insertion to achieve future submarine class total ownership cost reductions, and influence future submarine concept designs and core technologies. Experimentation and demonstration is conducted in a joint warfighting context with other services, (i.e. the U.S. Marines, U.S. Army, and the U.S. Air Force), to enable early assessment of warfighting capabilities, and to contribute to smarter technology selection decisions for potential incremental development. This program also supports Information Exchange Programs and joint Project Agreements (PA) with the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia and other international partners. Project 2033 is comprised of three budget categories: Stealth, Payloads & Sensors, and Innovative Technology Transition/Concept Development. The major developmental efforts include: Sustainment of Vital Submarine Stealth R&D Capabilities - Large Scale Vehicle (LSV) - Intermediate Scale Measurement System (ISMS) - Submarine Signature Management/Acoustic Superiority - SSN/SSGN Survivability Program (S3P) - Advanced Hull Coatings Development of Technologies for Innovative Technology Transition/Concept Development - Hydraulic Elimination through Electrification - Advanced CO2 Scrubber (completes in FY16) - Corrosion Control (Ionic Current Monitoring System (ICMS), Advanced Active Shaft Grounding System (A-ASGS), Sprayable Acoustic Damping System (SADS)) - Advanced Submarine Control (Secondary Propulsion System) - Advanced Material Propeller (AMP) Technology - SSN(X) - Next Generation Propulsor Improved Payload & Sensor Capabilities - Next Generation Towed Array Handler System - Towed Array Reliability - Payload Integration (Advanced Weapons Enabled by Submarine UAS against Mobile targets (AWESUM), Universal Launch and Recovery Module (ULRM)) and Lithium Ion Battery Certification on an Unmanned Undersea Vehicle - Integrated Autonomous Undersea Warfare Sensor (IAUWS) - Speed to Fleet (S2F) (Lithium Ion Battery Certification on an Unmanned Vehicle and EW/ISR UUV - Fleet Module Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (FMAUV) - At-sea rapid prototyping and demonstration Project 2096: Project established in FY17. Efforts previously funded under 2033. The Universal Launch and Recovery Module (ULRM) supports the launch and recovery of the Large Diameter Unmanned Underwater Vehicle (LDUUV) from an SSGN for a large diameter open ocean interface.

- Change Summary Explanation
- Decrease in Advanced Submarine Systems Development RDTE,N by $4.186M as required for the Department of the Navy to comply with the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2015. Project 0223: In FY16, -$3.0M Congressional Reduction for 'Advanced Processing Build (APB) Development Growth'. FY16 to FY17 increase is due to the ramp-up of the development of Electronic Warfare (EW) improvements within APB efforts. EW develops ship vulnerability assessment tools to counter potential adversaries that are increasingly equipped with modern radars as well as non-Navy maritime traffic congesting littoral waters with high-end electronic signals. EW is a top priority in the CNO's Design for Maintaining Maritime Superiority (Jan-16). Project 2033: In FY16, -$4.454M Congressional Reduction was applied for Stealth Programs. In FY16, +$10M Congressional add was applied for Advanced Submarine Control. This add will develop, test and demonstrate numerous high risk advanced submarine control technologies associated with future submarine classes/design with advanced submarine payloads. FY 2017 Program Adjustments support CNO Speed to Fleet Initiative for ISR/EW UUV and At-sea rapid prototyping, integration, and advanced submarine payloads demonstration. Additionally increase was programmed by CNO for design and procurement of materials for an advanced coatings demonstration as part of the Acoustic Superiority demonstrator (South Dakota Insertion Program - SSN 790). Project 2096: In FY16, -$3.8M Congressional Reduction was applied for universal launch and recovery module unfunded out year tail. In FY17, +$8.775M Program Adjustment was applied to fund Universal Launch and Recovery Module (ULRM). Funding was added for Non-Recurring Engineering, Operational Test and Evaluation(OT&E), and production of one Tactical ULRM.
