Maritime Dominance Technology Focus Area

Abstract

This focus area will develop the enabling capabilities and key technologies required to maintain maritime dominance, drawing the Chairman’s Gap Assessment and strategic guidance from the new Under Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering. Major drivers in the maritime domain include the development of extra-large, large, and small families of multi-mission unmanned undersea vehicles (UUVs), and the rapid growth of commercial undersea activity. The DoD is exploring emerging concepts for ubiquitous undersea communications, command and control, and large-scale UUV capabilities. To enable these concepts, RRF will focus on developing capabilities and technologies such as undersea power production, storage, and distribution; enhanced signal processing; autonomy; undersea situational awareness and navigation; sensors; undersea communications; and advanced materials development and production.
