Maritime Systems
Abstract
This Program Element provides for the 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 the EMD of combat submersibles, SOF combat diving systems, underwater support systems, and underwater equipment. This project also provides for pre-acquisition activities (materiel solutions analysis, advanced component, prototype development, and exploitation of emerging technology opportunities to deliver enhanced capabilities) to respond to emerging 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. This project received a Congressional Add in FY 2022 for diver propulsion ($4.200 million). This project received a Congressional Add in FY 2023, details will be provided under separate cover ($30.000 million). The Surface Craft project provides for the EMD of all combatant craft, combatant craft mission equipment, pre-planned product improvement, and technology insertion to meet the unique requirements of SOF. This project 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. The SOF Combat Diving Program has been designated a Middle Tier of Acquisition (MTA) in accordance with Section 804 of Public Law 114-9, the authority in DoD Directive 5143.01, and guidance in DoD Instruction 5000.80. The purpose of the MTA pathway is to rapidly develop prototypes in support of SOF-Peculiar Life Support Systems, Marine Environmental Protection, Navigation, Propulsion, and Communication systems. The total cost of the Combat Diving Middle Tier of Acquisition effort is $61.847 million (FY 2024 - FY 2028), including Research, Development, Test, and Evaluation (RDT&E) and procurement of prototype units. The SOF Combat Diving effort is fully funded across the Future Years Defense Program. The total cost of the Maritime Precision Engagement (MPE) Middle Tier of Acquisition effort is $79.015 million (FY 2024 - FY 2028), including RDT&E and procurement of prototype units. The MPE effort is fully funded across the Future Years Defense Program. The total cost of the SOF Small Unmanned Underwater Vehicle (SUUV) Middle Tier of Acquisition effort is $13.529 million (FY 2024 - FY 2028), including RDT&E and procurement of prototype units. The SUUV effort is fully funded across the Future Years Defense Program.

- Change Summary Explanation
- Funding: FY 2022: Net decrease of $2.285 million is due to a reprogramming of funds to the Congressionally mandated Small Business Innovative Research (SBIR)/Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) programs. FY 2023: Details for increase will be provided under separate cover ($30.000 million). FY 2024: Net increase of $21.500 million is due to a transfer of funding for spiral development of Combatant Craft Light (CCL) MK2 from Operation and Maintenance (O&M), Defense-Wide, SAG 1PL7, Maintenance ($2.267 million); an increase in Combatant Craft Medium (CCM) for the development of major service life enhancing capabilities and survivability testing to support craft modernization and sustainability ($3.000 million); an increase in MPE as a result of a transfer of funding from Procurement, Defense-Wide P-1 #72 Combatant Craft Systems for ongoing development of A & B kits into the CCM craft and test plan development ($6.969 million); and an increase that will be provided under separate cover ($9.264 million).
