Adv Submarine System Development

Abstract

The Advanced Submarine Systems Development (ASSD) Program is a non-acquisition program that develops, matures, and transitions HM&E technologies from S&T to operational platforms, develops and demonstrates submarine design and naval architecture products destined for backfit, forward fit, and/or future submarines, and operates unique R&D experimentation, modeling, and simulation facilities to enhance submarine stealth, maneuverability, capability and affordability. The program is structured to support near term technology insertion to achieve VIRGINIA Class cost reduction and influence future submarine concepts and core technologies. In support of Sea Power 21, Sea Trial experimentation supports the naval enterprises in identifying and prototyping capabilities and technologies that support the warfighter. Focus is on the USE, the NNFE, NECE, SWE, and SOFE. In addition to enterprise support, experimentation may identify, develop, integrate, and test Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) technologies and develop littoral precision strike capabilities. Experimentation and demonstration is conducted in a joint warfighting context with other services, (i.e. the U.S. Marines, U.S. Army, and the U.S. Air Force), to enable early assessment of warfighting capabilities, and to contribute to better technology selection decisions for potential incremental development. This program also supports Information Exchange Programs and joint Project Arrangements with the United Kingdom, Canada, and Australia.
