Fleet METOC Equipment
Abstract
The Littoral Battlespace Sensing - Unmanned Undersea Vehicles (LBS-UUV) project provides for the engineering and manufacturing development of sensors, communication interfaces, processing and display meteorological and oceanographic (METOC) equipment. This equipment is designed to provide future mission capabilities for war fighters to measure, ingest, store, process, distribute and display METOC parameters and derived products. This project also exploits new government off-the-shelf/commercial off-the-shelf technologies, tactical sensors and web enablement for the Navy's computer-based tactical shipboard and shore capability used to predict and assess the operational effects of the physical environment on the performance of platforms, weapons and sensor systems. This project includes development of warfare specific mission planning modules to support unmanned systems with integration of data from environmental and tactical sensor systems, model forecast information and Geospatial Information & Services Databases. This project also supports development of autonomous environmental sensing systems for situational awareness and tactical decision aid/mission planner support, as well as iridium and advanced satellite communication integration in METOC sensor, vehicle control and mission planning systems that will be required to achieve Chief of Naval Operations (CNO) objectives for information dominance and decision superiority. Major emphasis areas include Littoral Battlespace Sensing - Unmanned Undersea Vehicles (LBS-UUV) and the Environmental Satellite Receiver Processor (ESRP) program (comprised of ESRP AFLOAT (formerly AN/SMQ-11) and ESRP ASHORE (formerly AN/FMQ-17) systems). FY 2025 funding for Littoral Battlespace Sensing - Unmanned Undersea Vehicles (LBS-UUV) will primarily focus on Littoral Battlespace Sensing - Glider (LBS-G) engineering studies and analysis, to include but not limited to the development, modification, experimentation, integration, and/or demonstration of mechanical, software and/or sensor enhancements. Other efforts include studying potential solutions to LBS-UUV requirements. FY 2025 funding for Environmental Satellite Receiver Processor (ESRP) will support new technology assessments for ESRP modernization.
