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 funding from FY 2017 to FY 2018 is driven by the requirement to fund the major TACDEV/TORPEX ICEX events planned in FY 2018, which necessitate additional aviation, personnel, logistics, and torpedo recovery resources than those required for a non-firing (TACDEV only) ICEX event. There are no major TACDEV/TORPEX ICEX events planned in FY 2019. Increase in funding in FY 2019, as compared to FY 2017, is driven by the additional need to conduct Arctic operations to support ice camp equipment evaluation, systems development, and extreme cold weather training, as well as the need to perform drifting sea ice analysis required to improve drifting sea ice camp Arctic operations.
