Advanced Undersea Prototyping
Abstract
The Orca Extra Large Unmanned Undersea Vehicle (XLUUV) is the Navy's Extra Large UUV effort as part of the Family of UUVs. The Orca XLUUV effort is 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 was a competitively sourced design effort. Phase 2 down selected to one of the Phase 1 vendors in FY 2019 for fabrication and testing of the vehicle and support elements. Testing and delivery of the vehicles and support elements has been delayed to FY22-23 due to contractor challenges and supplier issues. The Navy is working with Boeing to mitigate schedule delays and execute risk reduction testing through the addition of a designated test and training asset. The Navy is updating facilities at the Naval Base Ventura County site for testing, training, and work-ups, in coordination with large unmanned surface vessel testing for cost efficiencies. Fabrication awards of additional Orca XLUUV systems are planned for FY24 and out, gradually ramping up quantities in future fiscal years, depending on the progress from the first five systems. 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 potential future payloads will be developed, evaluated, and preliminarily integrated leveraging the Core Technologies Program Element 0604029N. Additional XLUUV technologies/capabilities risk reduction will occur in parallel, leveraging the competitive Industrial base.
