BATTLEGROUP ANTI-SUBMARINE WARFARE (ASW) DEFENSE
Abstract
Battlegroup ASW Defense technology focuses on the development of platform-based sources and receivers aimed at denying submarines the ability to target gray ships. This technology area is primarily concerned with detections inside 10 nautical miles. Battlegroup ASW Defense integrates next-generation technologies, automatic target recognition, sensors that adjust to complex acoustic environments, and environmentally adaptive processing techniques. Research aimed at understanding and predicting the impacts of manmade underwater sound on marine mammals is also conducted in this activity. Battlegroup ASW Defense will enable smaller, lighter, and cheaper acoustic/non- acoustic arrays, large multi-line arrays, and submarine flank arrays (all with environmental adaptation capabilities). The FY 2009 to FY 2010 funding decrease is due to the realignment of this Activity to the newly established ASW Distributed Search and Surveillance Activities in FY 2010.
