Lightweight Torpedo Development
Abstract
The Lightweight Torpedo (LWT) program designs, integrates and tests the LWT MK 54. The LWT develpment program provides performance improvements in shallow water and counter-measure environments. The Engineering Development Model (EDM) contract has delivered 21 MK 54 Mod 1 EDM units to support the in-water test program. The EDM contract for the MK54 Mod 1 was awarded to Progeny Systems Corporation in September 2008. The High Altitude Anti-Submarine Warfare Weapon Capability (HAAWC) development and Low Rate Initial Production (LRIP) contract was awarded to Boeing on April 2013. Initial Operating Capability (IOC) of the MK 54 Mod 0 was achieved in 2004. IOC of the MK 54 equipped VLA was achieved in 2010. Budget supports Pre-Planned Product Improvement (P3I) program using an incremental developmental acquisition approach combining hardware and Advanced Processor Build (APB) software upgrades to enable rapid fielding of improvements to the fleet. The P3I program will focus on common LWT and Heavyweight Torpedo (HWT) hardware and software architecture enhancements that will provide re-architecture, broadband array improvements,and APB software improvements. Future APB software builds will utilize the common torpedo software to deliver software and tactics to both the MK 54 LWT and MK 48 Advanced Capability (ADCAP). The P3I program will also support development of enhanced weapon delivery methods, including the high altitude launch of the MK 54 from Maritime Patrol Aircraft (MPA) with the HAAWC.

Miscellaneous adjustment increase will fund FY16 HAAWC development contract. Schedule: MK 54 MOD 1 Production Readiness Review (PRR) start date change is due to the addition of additional requirements and schedule delays in completion of the MK 54 MOD 1 qualification testing. Change in estimated completion of MK 54 MOD 1 Developmental Testing (DT) from Q1FY17 to Q3FY17. Change in the start of the MK 54 MOD 1 Operational Testing (OT) is due to change in completion of the MK 54 MOD 1 DT. Change in HAAWC Design/Development/Qualification and PRR are due to contractor identified delays in concept development.
