Small Unmanned Undersea Vehicles

Abstract

As part of the Expeditionary UUV Family of Systems (FoS) the LIONFISH UUV Program of Record develops advanced SUUVs to support myriad missions across warfare domains. The missions include: expeditionary mine countermeasures, expeditionary data collection and surveillance, and intelligence preparation of the environment (IPOE). Equipment includes vehicles and associated systems support equipment. Planned block upgrades include increased detection range capability, communications upgrades, automated target recognition, cybersecurity, autonomy and command and control improvements, additional launch and recovery abilities, increased operational depth, and payloads as required. Increase of $11.304M from FY 2021 to FY 2022 supports the increased development, test and evaluation, and implementation of cybersecurity solutions to comply with current cyber requirements. Additional LIONFISH (SUUV) test assets will be acquired via pre-production LIONFISH (SUUV) OTA agreements, resulting in increased development, test and evaluation, and integration of forward looking sonar and synthetic aperture sonar onto the test systems. Efforts in FY22 will enable LIONFISH (SUUV) production contract award in FY23.
