(U)Advanced Undersea Prototyping

Abstract

Advanced undersea prototyping and test of Extra Large Unmanned Undersea Vehicles (XLUUVs) will advance the development of unmanned undersea vehicles systems by leveraging ongoing ONR and Industry UUV efforts for larger diameter vehicles. Payloads will be customized to meet Navy needs and demonstrate useful capability for the fleet. The program intends to utilize fleet demonstrations of existing XLUUVs to rapidly and affordably capture tactics, techniques, and procedures in operating XLUUVs prior to formal introduction of XLUUV programs of record to the fleet. This will help develop experience and demonstrate launch, communications, command and control, navigation, endurance, recovery, payload feasibility, and mission planning and execution for XLUUVs. XLUUV energy prototyping will leverage existing independent research and development in energy-dense technology that could meet power requirements for XLUUV missions that are limited by the amount of power currently available. Efforts include research, development, test, and evaluation of advanced development model energy solutions applicable to XLUUVs for increased energy endurance and efficiency to extend the reach of 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.
