High Altitude ASW
Abstract
The High Altitude Anti-Submarine Warfare (HAASW) program increases P-8A operational flexibility and effectiveness throughout the kill chain at higher than traditional ASW altitudes. FY10-FY16 activities include Sonobuoy Technology Development (TD), P-8A Aircraft integration, Training, Test & Evaluation, and Initial Operational Capability. TD includes hardware modifications to current production sonobuoys and software development for the aircraft. Global Positioning System (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 (SSQ-101) channel availability, and provide NATO compatibility. FY16-FY19 activities include the integration of an algorithm that will adjust sonobuoy release/drop points for more accurate sonobuoy placement and integrating digital telemetry into the SSQ-53 and SSQ-62.
