Lightweight Torpedo Development
Abstract
The Lightweight Torpedo (LWT) program designs, integrates and tests the LWT MK 54. The LWT development 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 MK 54 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 Vertical Launch Anti-submarine Rocket (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 the P-8A Maritime Patrol Reconnaissance Aircraft (MPRA) with the HAAWC.

- Change Summary Explanation
- Funding: In FY 2018, funding was realigned from Proj: 2234 Lightweight Hybrid Torpedo to Proj: 1412 HAAWC to differentiate HAAWC funding from MK 54 MOD 1 funding. Schedule: Delay in completion of the MK 54 MOD 1 Developmental Testing (DT) is due to test ship availability. Delay in initiation of the MK 54 MOD 1 Operational Testing (OT) is due to delays in completion of the MK 54 MOD 1 DT. Delays in HAAWC Design/Development/Qualification, DT, OT, Production Readiness Review (PRR) and IOC are due to contractor identified delays in concept development; requiring funding adjustments to execute to this schedule.
