Payload Delivery Development

Abstract

Universal Launch and Recovery Module (ULRM) is hardware/middleware for the integration of large deployable and retrievable payloads from submarines. RDT&EN funding will be used to design , manufacture, and field a payload launch and recovery system to be utilized from submarine large ocean interfaces to accommodate large diameter payloads such as the Navy's large diameter unmanned underwater vehicle (LDUUV). ULRM enables launch and recovery of LDUUV from submarines (SSGN and VA Class VPM and beyond). Launch and recovery of large diameter payloads from submarines does not currently exist. ULRM provides the submarine force with the capability to launch and recover large payloads of various configurations, improving battle space awareness and extending war-fighting reach.
