High Altitude ASW
Abstract
The High Altitude Anti-Submarine Warfare (HAASW) program objective is to ensure Anti-Submarine Warfare (ASW) aircraft operational flexibility and effectiveness thoughout the kill chain at higher than traditional ASW altitudes. FY11-FY17 R&D monies fund the Technology Development (TD), Test & Evaluation and Initial Operational Capability for HAASW integration into the P-8A aircraft. TD includes hardware modifications to existing ASW sonobuoys and software development for the aircraft. GPS integration will provide precise sonobuoy location regardless of aircraft altitude/location to enhance wide area ASW search, localization, track and targeting. The digital telemetry will improve sonobuoy communication performance in high Radio Frequency Interference environments, increase Air Deployable Active Receiver channel availability, and provide NATO compatibility. P-8A software will be developed to process GPS and digital telemetry signals and to integrate algorithms that will adjust sonobuoy release/drop points for more accurate sonobuoy placement. The FY13-16 test article quantities reflect 180 sonobuoys.
