Adv Submarine Systems Development
Abstract
The Advanced Submarine Systems Development (ASSD) Program is a non-acquisition program that develops and matures technologies for successful integration into future and modernized submarine classes, thus lowering acquisition and life cycle program costs while improving mission capability. ASSD transitions Hull, Mechanical, and Electrical (HM&E) technologies from Science & Technology (S&T) and Research and Development (R&D) to operational platforms; performs tests and demonstrates submarine design and naval architecture products destined for integration into future submarine classes or backfit into existing fleet assets; and operates unique R&D experimentation, modeling, testing and simulation facilities to enhance submarine stealth, maneuverability, capability, and affordability. The program is structured to support near and mid-term technology insertion to achieve future submarine class total ownership cost reductions and requirements, and influence future submarine concept designs and core technologies. Experimentation is a critical component in technology maturity assessment. The ASSD program works within the Sea Trials process to identify and exploit test opportunities that can provide assessment and maturation for appropriate technologies. Sea Trials experiments provide joint test opportunities in relevant environments at significantly less cost. This program also supports joint Project Arrangements (PAs) with the United Kingdom, and Information Exchange Programs with Canada, Australia, Japan, South Korea, Malaysia, Norway, Sweden, Germany, Netherlands and Italy. Project 2033 is comprised of four budget categories: Stealth, Payloads & Sensors, Advanced Propulsion/Ship Concept Development and Total Ownership Cost (TOC)/Affordability. The major developmental efforts include: Sustainment of Vital Submarine Stealth R&D Capabilities - Large Scale Vehicle (LSV) - Intermediate Scale Measurement System (ISMS) - Submarine Signature Management Development of Technologies to Reduce Submarine Total Ownership Cost: - Hydraulic Elimination through Electrification - Advanced CO2 Scrubber - Transition of ONR FNC for Affordable Submarine Propulsion and Control Surface Electric Actuator Development of Advanced Propulsion System and Ship Concepts - DARPA/Navy Tango Bravo Technology Transition - Control Surface Electric Actuation of Retractable Bow Planes Improved Payload & Sensor Capabilities - Next Generation Towed Array Handling System and Towed Array Reliability - Innovation Technology Transition - Irregular Warfare
