Maritime Systems
Abstract
This program element provides for engineering and manufacturing development (EMD) of Special Operations Forces (SOF) Surface and Undersea Mobility platforms. This program element also provides for pre-acquisition activities to quickly respond to new requirements for SOF surface and undersea mobility, looking at multiple alternatives to include cross-platform technical solutions, service-common solutions, Commercial-Off-The-Shelf technologies, and new development efforts. The Underwater Systems project provides for EMD of combat submersibles, SOF combat diving systems, underwater support systems, and underwater equipment. This project also provides for pre-acquisition activities (material solutions analysis, advanced component, prototype development, and exploitation of emerging technology opportunities to deliver enhanced capabilities) to respond to emergent requirements. These submersibles, equipment, and diving systems are used by SOF in the conduct of infiltration/extraction, personnel/material recovery, hydrographic/inland reconnaissance, beach obstacle clearance, underwater ship attack, and other missions. The capabilities of the submersible systems, diving systems, and unique equipment provide small, highly trained forces the ability to successfully engage the enemy and conduct clandestine operations associated with SOF maritime missions. The Surface Craft project provides for EMD of medium and heavy surface combatant craft, combatant craft mission equipment, and pre-planned product improvement and technology insertion engineering changes to meet the unique requirements of SOF. This project element also provides for pre-acquisition activities (materiel solutions analysis, advanced component development and prototypes) to quickly respond to new requirements for maritime craft and subsystems. The craft capabilities and unique equipment provide small, highly trained forces the ability to successfully engage the enemy and conduct operations associated with SOF maritime missions. These technologies will be pursued via rapid prototyping efforts when appropriate.

- Change Summary Explanation
- Funding: FY 2019: Net decrease of $1.871 million is due to a transfer to Small Business Innovative Research/Small Business Technology Transfer (SBIR/STTR) (-$1.520 million) and funds made available to support critical emerging Command requirements in the year of execution (-$0.351 million). FY 2020: Net zero is due to a Congressional Directed Reduction which was a decrease within the Dry Combat Submersible (-$3.000 million) and a Congressional Add increase for SOF Combat Diving ($3.000 million). FY 2021: Net decrease of $2.039 million is due to an increase to align Tech Insertion Roadmap (TIR) for combatant craft systems for enhanced Global Positioning System (GPS), survivability and hybrid power study; SOF Peculiar Unmanned Underwater Vehicle (UUV) payloads; and integration of Maritime Precision Engagement (MPE) prototype on Combatant Craft Medium (CCM) test article ($3.004 million), and Dry Combat Submersible (DCS) funding was made available to support critical emerging Command requirements (-$0.450 million). For the Defense Wide Review (DWR), USSOCOM performed a comprehensive analysis of future capabilities which reduces the product development and integration of the Combatant Craft Heavy (CCH) program to better align with the Department’s priorities as outlined in the National Defense Strategy (-$4.593 million). Schedule: None. Technical: None.
