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 and develops, tests, and prototypes new sonar arrays for Program Executive Office Submarine (PEO SUB) programs, delivering about thirty (30) new capabilities every other year. This 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. Improvements are supportive of A Cooperative Strategy for 21st Century Sea Power and the Chief of Naval Operations (CNO) Design for Maintaining Maritime Superiority; addressing all components to include Strengthen Naval Power At and From Sea, Achieve High Velocity Learning, Strengthen Our Navy Team for the Future, and Expand and Strengthen Our Network of Partners. This Project addresses threats posed by China, Russia, Iran, Korea and Terrorism (CRIKT), improved lethality of U.S. Submarine Forces and 3rd Offset Capabilities in the Unmanned and Automated Systems domains. Project 0223 is comprised of three major efforts: Advanced Processing Builds (APB), Flank Array Demonstration, and Advanced 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: 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, consists of two (2) sub-projects: - Payload Handling System (PHS) - 3" Sub Launched Unmanned "K" Aerial System (SL-UKAS) 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 will be conducted with the Fleet (i.e., Commander, Naval Submarine Forces (COMSUBFOR), Unmanned Undersea Vehicle Squadron One (UUVRON ONE), etc.), enabling an agile environment through at-sea demonstrations, which will provide Fleet and acquisition stakeholders with relevant payload employment data to inform Concepts of Operations (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. Project 3391: SSN/SSGN Survivability Program (S3P) efforts previously funded under project 2033(through FY17) will move to Project 3391 in FY18. S3P addresses gaps in stealth and the survivability for current and future SSN/SSGN force.

- Change Summary Explanation
- Funding: FY 2017: Net PE increase of $13.924M including: $+25.0M for the Advanced Materials Propeller Research Congressional Add; -$7.699M for directed Congressional Adjustments; and -$3.378M for Small Business Innovative Research (SBIR) assessment. The FY 2019 funding request was reduced by $4.1 million to account for the availability of prior year execution balances. Project 0223: - The net FY 2018 to FY 2019 budget increase of $+6.290M was driven by the requirement to significantly expand APB advanced development efforts. Advancing capabilities of adversary navies require the application of emerging state-of-the-art computing technologies and development of capabilities in non-traditional tactical areas to compliment the core APB domain. The APB development budget, which began with a limited portfolio developing Towed Array Signal Processing improvements, has since expanded over time, and is required to address Hull Arrays, Tactical Control, Tactical Decision Aids, Active Intercept & Receive, Imaging, Operator Interface Modernization, Command Tool Development, and more recently EW. The APB budget increase in FY 2019 is needed to properly resource its breadth of requirements. The increase in APB is provided to establish a needed land-based EW capability development laboratory system; conduct new EW algorithm development; pursue the use of Big Data Analytics; Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence (AI) computing techniques; develop new automation tools and processing for Unmanned Vehicles; and develop automated tools related to CRIKT. APB development added EW to its portfolio in FY 2017 and initial efforts included establishing a systems engineering approach, hiring national-level Subject Matter Experts (SMEs), and collecting data that will be used to initiate new capability development. Efforts in FY 2019 will build on this foundation with further data collections, system refinements, new capability development, and transition to operational use. The ability of our Submarines to operate covertly in forward areas is challenged by the emergence and wide spread use of modern commercial and military radars that exploit software-defined radio technology and can alter their operating characteristics on-the-fly with the use of a thumb drive. These radars and their waveforms are evolving quickly and are expected to continue to present a rapidly moving target for U.S. EW capabilities to keep pace with. A robust APB EW program is needed to enable our Submarines to continue to operate safely and effectively into the future. The use of modern computing technologies and new automation techniques are required to outpace emerging threat platforms that are rapidly becoming more difficult to detect. The FY 2019 decrease in the Flank Array Demo (FAD) effort is as originally planned and is based on the focus shift from more costly at-sea testing in FY 2018 to predominantly test result analysis in FY 2019. The FY 2019 funding request was reduced by $2.000 million to account for the availability of prior year execution balances. Project 2033: 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). +$5.8M in the Request for Additional Appropriation to fund a Joint Emergent Operational Need Statement (JEONS) through the development and rapid prototyping of the Clandestine Delivered Mine (CDM). FY 2018: Increase in the Strategic R&D infrastructure due to obsolescence and tracking range upgrades for LSV-2. This includes installation of new steering and diving prototype funded by FY16 congressional add. Decrease in long-range R&D is due to completion of procurement of long-lead materials (hull treatment) for the SSN-790 demonstration. FY 2019: Increase in Strategic R&D infrastructure due to obsolescence and tracking range upgrades for LSV-2 at ARD Bayview. Conduct design and approval process for replacement Inverter and Converter modules, procure materials and construct prototype units, test units, and revise design as necessary to prepare for full-ship-set production. The FY 2019 funding request was reduced by $2.100 million to account for the availability of prior year execution balances. Project 2096: FY 2017: Decrease of $4.592 for Payload Handling System (PHS) excess growth. New start program in FY17. FY 2018 to FY 2019: PHS program growth from FY18 to FY19 is required for Long Lead Time Material (LLTM) procurement in order to maintain schedule for installation and testing onboard an SSGN. Additional program growth includes component prototype development and testing, and design and engineering team support. FY 2019: Increase of $3.498 for Submarine Payload Handling System (PHS). Project 3391: Established in FY18. SSN/SSGN Survivability Program (S3P) previously funded under Project 2033 through FY17.
