Force Protection Advanced Technology

Abstract

This project addresses advanced technology development associated with providing the capability of Platform and Force Protection for the U.S. Navy. This project supports the development of technologies associated with all naval platforms (surface, subsurface, terrestrial, and air) and the protection of those platforms. For the new FY 2016 effort, Forward Deployed Energy and Communications Outpost (FDECO) INP, the project addresses advanced technology development associated with providing the undersea energy and communications infrastructure necessary to assure undersea dominance; extend the reach of undersea assets; enhance situational awareness (SA) and standoff advantage without reducing forward presence and; provide endurance for unmanned systems necessary for force multiplication in an anti-access/area denial (A2/AD) environment. For the new FY 2016 effort, Medium Displacement Unmanned Surface Vehicle (MDUSV), the project will radically change the way the Navy does mine influence sweep, anti-submarine warfare (ASW) and electronic warfare (EW) missions; it will introduce larger unmanned surface vehicles (USV) to the Navy; and it will introduce advanced autonomy to the surface Navy.
