Payload Delivery Development
Abstract
Payload Delivery Development is a non-acquisition program used for the integration of large deployable and retrievable payloads with submarines. RDT&EN funding will be used to design, manufacture, and field a prototype payload launch and recovery system utilized with submarine large ocean interfaces to accommodate large diameter payloads and offboard systems. The project enables launch and recovery of these systems from submarines. This will provide the Submarine Force with the capability to launch and recover large payloads and offboard systems of various configurations in support of critical Undersea Warfare (USW) missions, providing battle space awareness and extending war-fighting reach. This capability has been identified as a key enabler for the following critical USW mission areas: Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR), Anti-Submarine Warfare (ASW), Anti-Surface Warfare (ASUW), Naval Special Warfare (NSW), Mine Warfare, Seabed Warfare, Counter- Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV) Warfare, Electromagnetic Maneuver Warfare (EMMW), Deception, and Non-Lethal Sea Control. This capability is paramount to countering anti-access/area denial (A2/AD) threats from emerging world powers and maintaining dominance in the undersea domain. 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. Current controls reflect the termination of SL-UKAS by the Navy in FY19 and subsequent funding reduction.
