Submarine Tactical Warfare Sys

Abstract

The Submarine Tactical Warfare Systems program element is comprised of the Advanced Submarine Support Equipment Program (ASSEP) and the Submarine Special Operations Support Program. The objective is to improve submarine operational effectiveness through the development and implementation of advanced Research and Development (R&D). In order to provide improved operational effectiveness, R&D efforts are focused on Advanced Imaging Developments and Advanced Electronic Warfare Support (ES) Developments. A continuing need exists to improve these capabilities in view of the advancements in potential imaging counter detection, the need to support specialized missions and the increasingly dense and sophisticated electronic environment caused by the proliferation of complex radar, communications, and navigation equipment of potential adversaries. Ongoing developments in 360 degree imaging systems and radar range finding (PATRIOT) technologies are supporting these needs. The Submarine Arctic Warfare Development program responds to the increased threat of Naval activity in the littoral and the continuing threat of submarine and surface ship activity in regions of the world through the development of advanced submarine R&D technology to provide improved operational capability in shallow water regions. Particular emphasis is placed in the areas of sonar operability and maintainability, littoral operations, mine warfare, tactical surveillance, weapon utility and other submarine support missions. Efforts include assessment of combat system effectiveness, development of Arctic specific improvements for existing sonars and weapons, development of class specific Arctic operational guidelines and the testing of ice-capable submarine support structures. This program also provides the framework for various R&D programs to conduct test and evaluation in shallow water and Arctic regions.
