Stealth/Subtotal Cost
Abstract
Develop technologies and tools to increase the survivability of submarines by recognizing and mitigating sources of acoustic and non-acoustic vulnerabilities to ensure submarines can penetrate contested waters and remain undetected in the littorals. Develop technologies and Tactics, Techniques, and Procedures (TTPs) that facilitate new or enhance existing warfighting concepts. Sustain Navy R&D capability for continued operations of the Large Scale Vehicle (LSV 2) and the Intermediate Scale Measurement System (ISMS) in support of VIRGINIA and OHIO Replacement Class Program of Records to conduct large model experiments for submarines focusing on stealth, maneuvering and control, affordability, and operational effectiveness. Address gaps in stealth and survivability for current and future SSN/SSGN force. Advanced coatings will develop methods to model and test existing US and UK coating materials as well as develop new coating materials for improved acoustic performance.
