(U)Advanced Undersea Prototyping

Abstract

The Orca Extra Large Unmanned Undersea Vehicle (XLUUV) is the Navy's Extra Large UUV effort as part of the UUV Family of Systems (FoS). The Orca XLUUV effort has been established to address a Joint Emergent Operational Need (JEON). Orca XLUUV is a multi-phased accelerated acquisition effort to rapidly deliver capability to the Fleet. Phase 1 is a competitively sourced design effort. Phase 2 is a down select to one, possibly both, of the Phase 1 vendors in FY 2019 for fabrication and testing of the vehicle and support elements. Fabrication award of additional Orca XLUUV systems is planned for FY 2023 and FY 2024. XLUUV will have a modular payload bay, with defined interfaces that current and future payloads must adhere to for employment from the vehicle. The Orca XLUUV effort will integrate the currently required payload, and additional potential future payloads will be developed, evaluated, and preliminarily integrated in the Core Technologies Program Element 0604029N.
