Payload Delivery Development

Abstract

Payload Delivery Development is a non-acquisition program that supports innovative research and development efforts to enable integration of deployable and/or retrievable undersea vehicles, payload concepts, and offboard systems through design, manufacture, test/demonstration, evaluation, and validation for submarine platforms. In addition to technology development, the program will support engineering and integration of new and existing technologies to enable rapid prototyping and fielding of capabilities which will inform and provide solutions to urgent war-fighter needs. Experimentation will be conducted with the Fleet (i.e., Commander, Naval Submarine Forces (COMSUBFOR), Unmanned Undersea Vehicle Squadron One (UUVRON ONE), etc.), enabling an agile environment through at-sea demonstrations, which will provide Fleet and acquisition stakeholders with relevant payload employment data to inform Concepts of Operations (CONOPs) and fielding decisions. The program will furthermore support transition of high-interest systems and/or payloads from research and development to Programs of Record (PoRs), as appropriate.
