SSN(X) Class Submarine Development

Abstract

SSN(X) will be designed to counter the growing threat posed by near peer adversary competition for undersea supremacy. It will provide greater speed, increased horizontal payload capacity, improved acoustic superiority and non-acoustic signatures, and higher operational availability. SSN(X) will conduct full spectrum undersea warfare and be able to coordinate with a larger contingent of off-hull vehicles, sensors, and friendly forces. This project encompasses Navy RDT&E efforts required to design the next SSN to replace the VIRGINIA Class Submarine.
