Sub Defensive Warfare
Abstract
The increase in FY18 funding is primarily due to the efforts required during the base year of the development contract (1Q FY18 Award), which includes Non-Recurring Engineering (NRE) for the initial design development, feasibility analysis and the design of three Engineering Development Model (EDM) variants, that will be used to begin the government's Developmental Testing (DT). Hardware deliveries of the initial EDM variants will begin, and the Critical Design Review (CDR) will be accomplished in 2018. Governmental design of the Sabot will culminate in a Critical Design Review late in FY18. This project supports the Submarine Acoustic Warfare System (SAWS) program to maintain and improve the survivability of all U.S. submarine classes in response to torpedo attack. This program funds: 1. The Next Generation Countermeasure (NGCM) program, (ACAT III) currently in Engineering and Manufacturing Development (E&MD). The ADC MK5 Device Developmental Contract will be awarded in FY18, through a full and open competition, Cost Plus Incentive Fee (CPIF) contract, and government development in SABOT and Tactical Decision Aid development. The key new capabilities NGCM brings are: adaptive countermeasure (ACM) technology with full duplex capability and mobility packaged in a three inch diameter body. Milestone C is nominally 2022. 2. The Torpedo Defense Working Group (TDWG). A working group comprised of fleet, resource sponsor, and acquisition community representatives to assess countermeasure effectiveness against fleet threats, both known and projected, with associated studies, models, and simulations. 3. The Technical Direction Agent (TDA) and In-Service Engineering Agent (ISEA) hardware and software development support for Acoustic Devices Countermeasure (ADC) (ADC MK 2, 3 & 4, NAE Beacon) as well as Countermeasures Set, Acoustic (CSA) MK 2, MK 3, MK 4 systems and Acoustic Augmentation Support Systems (AASS) in the Acoustic Augmentation Support Program (AASP), including component level technical insertion. 4. Research and development of new technologies and capabilities developed under the Future Naval Capabilities (FNC), Small Business and Innovative Research (SBIR), and other Research, Development, Test & Evaluation (RDT&E) initiatives. New and emerging hardware and software are evaluated in representative acoustic environments, against projected threats through both digital and hardware-in-the-loop simulations, to determine their effectiveness and impact on improving submarine survivability. The technology is then incorporated into the appropriate countermeasure.
