Unmanned Underwater Vehicle
Abstract
The Snakehead Large Displacement Unmanned Undersea Vehicle (LDUUV) is the Navy's Large Displacement UUV effort as part of the UUV Family of Systems (FoS). It is the number one Submarine-launched UUV priority due to the additional endurance and the capability it will bring to the fleet in support of maintaining the Navy's undersea superiority. In order to accelerate and support steady growth of the fleet's UUV FoS, the Snakehead program will design and build a modular, reconfigurable Unmanned Undersea Vehicle (UUV) with Open Architecture (OA) software (SW) focused on introducing a new class (large displacement) of UUVs to the Navy to provide increased endurance, payload hosting, and delivery capability. The Snakehead LDUUV will be modular in design and include hotel functionality (guidance and control, navigation, autonomy, situational awareness, core communications, and power distribution), high energy capacity and power output, highly capable propulsion and maneuvering, and high accuracy mission sensors and communications links. It is intended that modules will have well defined interfaces for the purposes of implementing cost-effective upgrades in future increments to leverage advances in technology. The Snakehead program is a CNO/ASN(RDA) approved Accelerated Acquisition phased approach to build capabilities at a manageable level of risk in the Navy's class of Large Displacement Unmanned Undersea Vehicles.
