Unmanned Undersea Vehicle Core Technologies

Abstract

In order to accelerate future capability and support steady growth of the fleet's Unmanned Undersea Vehicle (UUV) Family of Systems (FoS), UUV core technology efforts include development and test of UUV technologies and will advance the development of unmanned undersea vehicles systems by leveraging ONR and Industry UUV efforts for associated technologies. Payloads will be customized to meet Navy needs and demonstrate useful capability for the fleet. Theis Program Element supports developing experience, demonstrating launch, communications, command and control, navigation, endurance, recovery, payload feasibility, and mission planning and execution initially for XLUUVs and then other UUVs, as applicable. Energy prototyping will leverage existing independent research and development in energy-dense technology that could meet power requirements for future UUV missions that are limited by the amount of power currently available. Efforts include research, development, test, and evaluation of advanced development model energy solutions initially applicable to XLUUVs for increased energy endurance and efficiency to extend the reach of all unmanned undersea systems. The Common Control/Autonomy efforts will include risk reduction and developmental efforts of autonomy systems and architectures to work to develop common standards, interfaces, and systems to support cross-domain applications. The payloads efforts will include investigation, experimentation, demonstration, development and integration of lethal and non-lethal payloads, as applicable.
