Sub Defensive Warfare
Abstract
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. Submarine Torpedo Defense System (SubTDS)program, (ACAT III) currently is 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 ADC MK5 development contract will result in delivering fully functional test units and EDM variants that include: (4) Configuration Control Tools(CCT), (4) Special Test Units(STU), (4) STU Electronics Boards for WAF, (17) EDM-1 devices, (10) Launchable Inerts EDM-2, (20) EDM-2 Environmental Qualification Testing(EQT) devices, (3) EDM-2T devices, (75)Low-Ray Initial Production (LRIP) devices. The key new capabilities ADC MK5 brings are: adaptive countermeasure (ACM) technology with full duplex capability and mobility packaged in a three inch diameter body. Milestone C is nominally 2022. Increment 2 of the Submarine Torpedo Defense System (SubTDS) will start in FY2023. 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) as well as Countermeasures Set, Acoustic (CSA) MK 2, MK 3, MK 4 systems, future ADC variants 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 product line. FY 2019 funding will primarily support on-going SubTDS development including component and subsystem design, design and delivery of three Engineering Development Model (EDM) variants, and joint contractor/government Development Testing (DT). Governmental development of the SABOT and Tactical Decision Aid (TacDA) will continue to include initial integration with the contractor developed ADC MK5 device and SABOT DT.
