Undersea Superiority

Abstract

Project Unit 3197: This Project supports Navy Undersea Superiority through the application of advanced development and testing of organic and offboard sonar and tactical control systems. This Project transitions technologies developed by Navy technology bases, the private sector, ONR, Future Naval Capabilities, and DARPA. This non-acquisition Project addresses technology challenges to improve Anti-Submarine Warfare (ASW) in littoral and open ocean environments for a variety of operational missions by relevant tactical ASW capabilities. Prototype hardware/software systems are developed to demonstrate technologically promising system concepts in laboratory and at-sea submarine environments. Technologies are selected by the CNO's ASW Initiative which was established to support the CNO's vision to "fundamentally change the way ASW is currently conducted to render the enemy submarine irrelevant against US and coalition forces". This Project matures promising Undersea Warfare (USW) technologies via an incremental development methodology, establishes military utility through sea testing and self assessment, and supports transition to production as merited by results.
