New Design SSN HM&E

Abstract

This project encompasses all the ship system development efforts for the VIRGINIA Class Submarine and the Technology Insertion Program for reducing costs and upgrading performance of future hulls by virtue of improvements in ship design and systems. Technology development implementation and logistics for developmental items, and VIRGINIA Class test & evaluation are included. The thrust of these efforts will be to develop and apply multiple advanced system technologies which are integrated into the design of the VIRGINIA Class Submarine. Technologies developed in this program will be considered for applicability to the COLUMBIA Program (CLB) for commonality opportunities. New technologies are being transitioned from industry and government research and development programs where doing so offers substantial performance improvement and/or affordability payoffs. Transition opportunities include those from the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) and Office of Naval Research (ONR) Future Naval Capabilities Program. The increase in the FY2021 budget in this PE provides funding for the Tactical Submarine Evolution Plan (TSEP) which includes; Virginia Class Submarine Undersea Dominance Payload Integration (UDPI), Advanced Acoustic Sensors, Subsea Seabed Warfare (SSW), host ship interaction with large volume UUVs, and future block concept design.
