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 researches, develops, and tests new sonar, combat system, imaging, and electronic warfare software for Program Executive Office Submarine (PEO SUB) programs and develops, tests, and prototypes new sonar arrays for PEO SUB programs. It delivers about thirty (30) new capabilities every other year to PEO SUB. Project 0223 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 the APB Project will be shared, as applicable to reduce costs and optimize reuse, with development programs for surface ship sonar, Advanced Capability Build (ACB) and surveillance platforms, Advanced Surveillance Build (ASB). All three programs (ACB, ASB and APB) are managed under a common development organization and process titled 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 0223 is comprised of three major efforts: Advanced Processing Builds (APB), Flank Array Demonstration, and Advance Sensors. APB develops, tests and transitions capabilities for: - APB Acoustics, transitioning to AN/BQQ-10 - APB Tactical Control, transitioning to AN/BYG-1 - APB Imaging, transitioning to AN/BVY-1 - APB Electronic Warfare (EW), transitioning to AN/BLQ-10 Flank Array Demonstration develops signal processing, integrates improvements and conducts testing and analysis for large array configurations. Improvements are transitioned to PEO SUB for fielding on the Virginia Class submarines. Advanced Sensors develops new technologies for Hull Mounted and Towed Arrays. Hull Mounted improvements support submarine applications only. Towed array improvements are shared to support surface and surveillance applications, as well. Project 2033: SSN/SSGN Survivability Program (S3P) efforts previously funded under this project (through FY17) will move to Project 3391 in FY18. S3P addresses gaps in stealth and the survivability for current and future SSN/SSGN force. 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: Strategic Capability Infrastructure, Long Range R&D Investment, Rapid Prototyping. The major developmental efforts include: Strategic Capability Infrastructure - Large Scale Vehicle (LSV) - Intermediate Scale Measurement System (ISMS) Long Range R&D Investment - Advanced Submarine Control (Secondary Propulsion System) - Advanced Material Propeller (AMP) Technology - Innovation Technology Transition (SBIRs/STTRs) - Next Generation Attack Submarine (SSN(X)) Technologies - Next Generation (NG) Thrust - Submarine Signature Management/Acoustic Superiority - Advanced Hull Coatings - Next Generation Towed Array Reliability - Support of ONR Future Naval Capability (FNC) new starts - Hydraulic Elimination through Electrification Rapid Prototyping - Common Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAS) Comms - Fleet Module Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (FMUAV) - Li-Ion Battery FMAUV Submarine Integration - Clandestine Delivered Mine (CDM) - Advanced Weapons Enhanced by Submarine UAS against Mobile targets (AWESUM)/Blackwing Unmanned Aerial System (UAS) - Submarine Payload Integration - Electronic Warfare/Intelligence Surveillance and Reconnaissance (EW/ISR) Unmanned Underwater Vehicle (UUV) Payload - Submarine Launch Decoy Project 2096: Payload Delivery Development is a non-acquisition program that supports innovative research and development efforts to enable integration of deployable and /or retrievable undersea vehicles, payload concepts, and offboard systems through design, manufacture, test/demonstration, evaluation, and validation for submarine platforms. In addition to technology development, the program will support engineering and integration of new and existing technologies to enable rapid prototyping and fielding of capabilities which will inform and provide solutions to urgent war-fighter needs. Experimentation and demonstration will be conducted with the Fleet (i.e., CSF, UUVRON, etc.) enabling an agile environment to demonstrate and provide high velocity learning through at-sea demonstrations, which will provide the Fleet and acquisition communities relevant employment data to inform CONOPs and fielding decisions. The program will furthermore support transition of high-interest systems and/or payloads from research and development to Programs of Record (PoRs), as appropriate. The major developmental efforts include: - Payload Handling System (PHS) is used to enable capabilities for the integration of large deployable and retrievable undersea vehicles, payloads, and offboard systems with submarines. RDT&EN funding will be used to design, manufacture, and field an integrated system utilized with submarine large ocean interfaces to enable launch and recovery of systems such as the Navy's Snakehead Large Diameter Unmanned Underwater Vehicle (LDUUV), the Shallow Water Combat Submersible (SWCS), and the LBS-AUV(S) from submarines, a capability which does not currently exist. - The 3" Sub Launched Unmanned Aerial System (SL-UAS) project supports the future missions of the VIRGINIA Class Program and its payload module. The project will focus on the overall design, system engineering, prototyping, demonstrations, and qualification activities needed to execute the integration of a payload with Blackwing for rapid deployment with an integrated solution into existing shipboard systems. This system will be demonstrated on a US Submarine, at a land based facility, or on another host platform by the end of FY20. Capability will transition to the Submarine Combat Control System Program Office (PMS 425).
