Advanced Submarine System Development
Abstract
This Program Element (PE) 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 PE also supports programs transitioning from Science and Technology (S&T), Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), Independent Research & Development (IR&D), and Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) projects. SUMMARY OF MAJOR BUDGET REQUEST CHANGES IN THIS PE FROM FY 2022 TO FY 2023 (NET INCREASE OF $+6.782M): - PROJECT 0223 net increase from FY 2022 to FY 2023 ($+2.249M) is required to support: 1) efforts to address Large Vertical Array (LVA) noise concerns and to collect baseline and longevity data from multiple LVAs followed by associated experimentation and corrective action, and, 2) the integration of off-hull payloads into the Submarine Warfare Federated Tactical Systems (SWFTS) construct and effort required to define concept of employment in the Advanced Processing Builds (APB) project. - PROJECT 2033 net increase from FY 2022 to FY 2023 ($+7.263M) is due to procurements and system assembly/testing in support of LSV-2 Electric Drive Recapitalization as well as Critical System Design efforts and procurement specification development in support of STAFAC Recapitalization. - PROJECT 2096 net decrease from FY 2022 to FY 2023 ($-2.527M). - PROJECT 3391 net decrease from FY 2022 to FY 2023 ($-0.203M). DESCRIPTION/JUSTIFICATION BY PROJECT: 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 approximately 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 guidance from Fleet Forces and Commander, Submarine Forces for Full Spectrum Warfare. This Project addresses threats posed by China, Russia, Iran, and Korea, improved lethality of U.S. Submarine Forces and 3rd Offset Capabilities in the Unmanned and Automated Systems domains. Project 0223 is comprised of three (3) major efforts: Advanced Processing Builds (APB), Advanced Sensors, and Large Vertical Array (LVA). 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 Advanced Sensors develops new technologies for Hull Mounted and Towed Arrays. Hull Mounted Array improvements support submarine applications only. Towed array improvements are shared to support surface and surveillance applications. LVA leverages previously demonstrated Flank Array Demonstration (FAD) developments to conduct critical testing and analysis needed to improve array performance and develop sensor employment tactics. It will introduce new electronic hardware and new software applications to enhance array and signal processing performance. These improvements will be incorporated in future LVA builds for VIRGINIA class SSNs and OHIO and COLUMBIA classes of SSBNs as well as backfits. PROJECT 2033: Advanced Submarine Systems Development (ASSD) is a non-acquisition program that develops, matures and tests advanced technologies for successful integration into current and future submarine classes, lowers the technical/cost risks of integrating new technologies prior to acquisition, and speeds the delivery of capability and lethality into the Fleet. ASSD transitions Hull, Mechanical, and Electrical (HM&E) technologies, and future naval concepts from the Science & Technology (S&T) and Research and Development (R&D) communities through the development, maturation, and integration of technology projects to operational submarine platforms for assessment, testing, and evaluation. Once projects have proven their maturity and promise through at-sea demonstration, they are formally transitioned into acquisition Programs Of Record (PORs). Additionally, ASSD operates and maintains R&D infrastructure assets that are critical to the long-term design, assessment and construction of modern, stealthy submarine platforms. Project 2033 is comprised of three budget categories: Strategic Capability Infrastructure, Long Range R&D Investment, and Rapid Technology Development. The major developmental efforts include: Strategic Capability Infrastructure - Large Scale Vehicle (LSV) - Large Scale Vehicle Recapitalization - Intermediate Scale Measurement System (ISMS) - High Gain Measurement System (HGMS) - South Tongue of the Ocean (TOTO) Acoustic Measurement Facility (STAFAC) Recapitalization Long Range R&D Investment - Advanced Material Propeller (AMP) Technology - Advanced Signature Management - Advanced SSN Technologies - Next Generation Thrust (future propulsor/shafting technologies) - Advanced Hull Treatments Rapid Technology Development - Innovation Technology Transfer PROJECT 2096: Payload Delivery Development, consists of the Payload Handling System (PHS). Payload Delivery Development is a program used for the integration of large deployable and retrievable payloads with submarines. RDT&EN funding will be used to develop a prototype payload launch and recovery system utilized with submarine large ocean interfaces to accommodate large diameter payloads and offboard systems. The project enables launch and recovery of these systems from submarines. This will provide the Submarine Force with the capability to launch and recover large payloads and offboard systems of various configurations in support of critical Undersea Warfare (USW) missions, providing battle space awareness and extending war-fighting reach in support of Subsea and Seabed Warfare (SSW) mission objectives. This capability has been identified as a key enabler for the following critical USW mission areas: Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR), Anti-Submarine Warfare (ASW), Anti-Surface Warfare (ASUW), Naval Special Warfare (NSW), Mine Warfare, Subsea and Seabed Warfare (SSW), Counter- Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV) Warfare, Electromagnetic Maneuver Warfare (EMMW), Deception, and Non-Lethal Sea Control. This capability is paramount to winning the great power competition emerging between world powers and maintaining dominance in the undersea domain. - FY 2022 funding profile decrease reflects the adjustment of funds for the PHS system. PROJECT 3391: In 2013, OPNAV N97 established SSN/SSGN Survivability Program (S3P) as a separate project area within ASSD to assure SSN/SSGN survivability and the ability of submarines to complete their joint warfighting missions even if covert mobility is compromised. FY 2018 is the first year of S3P execution as Project 3391 under ASSD with level funding across the FYDP. PBR 19 proposes technology projects that would help pace world-wide technology advances and red investments so as to track and assess US undersea superiority technology insertion plans and their impact on SSN/SSGN survivability. PROJECT 9710: Details of the project are classified SECRET and are submitted to Congress in the classified budget justification books.

- Change Summary Explanation
- The FY 2023 funding request was reduced by $0.625 million to account for the availability of prior year execution balances. FUNDING CHANGES SINCE THE PREVIOUS PRESIDENT'S BUDGET AT THE OVERALL PE LEVEL: - FY 2021 net decrease of $-31.046M includes $-27.495M from Project 9710 for internal department reprogrammings for higher priority requirements and $-3.551M for the Small Business Innovative Research (SBIR) transfer. - FY 2022 net decrease of $-0.861M is attributed to general Congressional adjustments impacting Projects 2033 and 3391. INFORMATION AT THE PROJECT LEVEL: PROJECT 0223: FUNDING CHANGES: The FY 2022 ($55.442M) to FY 2023 ($57.691M) budget increase ($+2.249M) is required to support: 1) efforts to address Large Vertical Array (LVA) noise concerns and to collect baseline and longevity data from multiple LVAs followed by associated experimentation and corrective action, and, 2) the integration of off-hull payloads into the Submarine Warfare Federated Tactical Systems (SWFTS) construct and effort required to define concept of employment in the Advanced Processing Builds (APB) project. PROJECT 2033: The FY 2022 to FY 2023 budget increase ($7.263M) is due to programmed project ramp-ups within the Strategic Infrastructure budget pillar, to include procurements and system assembly/testing in support of LSV-2 Electric Drive recapitalization as well as critical system design and procurement specification development in support of STAFAC acoustic measurement range recapitalization. PROJECT 3391: S3P top-line resourcing increases to conduct Advanced Signature Management/Countermeasures development. PROJECT 9710: Details of the project are classified SECRET and are submitted to Congress in the classified budget justification books. --- FY 2023 funding increase reflects the fact that the FY 2022 President’s Budget request did not include out-year funding.
