Submarine Arctic W/F Development
Abstract
The Submarine Arctic Warfare Development Project responds to the increased threat of submarine and surface ship activity in Arctic regions of the world through the development of advanced submarine concepts. It places particular emphasis on submarine operability and mission support in unique, cold, ice-covered environments. Efforts include assessment of combat system effectiveness, weapons testing, use of High Frequency (HF) sonars in Arctic regions, testing of ice-capable submarine structures, and development of class-specific Arctic operational guidelines. This project also provides the framework for various research and development programs to conduct test and evaluation in shallow water and Arctic regions. Increase in FY18 funding ($+5.367M) is to fund the FY18 major TACDEV/TORPEX ICEX that requires additional aviation, personnel, logistics, and torpedo recovery resources than a non-firing (TACDEV only) ICEX.
