Adv ASW Sensors & Proc
Abstract
This program improves Air Anti-Submarine Warfare (ASW) effectiveness through development and maturation of advanced hardware and software associated with airborne acoustic and non-acoustic sub-systems. This includes sensors and components, data recording, processing, post-processing and display capabilities to address near-peer threat scenarios against surfaced or submerged conventionally and nuclear powered submarines. Key objectives include: advancing active and passive sensors and components; improving detection, classification, localization and tracking; and increasing capacity and flexibility to handle multi-sensor data loads. Technology evaluations include sonobuoy communication links to/from aircraft, distributed netted sensors, transient signals, and source and receiver technologies that will enhance passive and multistatic active sensor systems. Products being funded during the FYDP will provide for the development and maturation of persistent tactical search technologies that will allow transition to the localization and attack phase in operationally relevant environments. In addition, the program will provide for the development and subsequent experimentation, including data collection and engineering measurement, of the next generation of multistatic sources and receivers; passive sensors and processors; and non-acoustic technologies. Matured technologies that increase operational capability will transition to acquisition programs of record for eventual release on ASW platforms. The RDT&E test articles, which consist of sensors, components and associated processing, are employed and expended in support of and during in-water experimentation.
