Adv Undersea Prototyping-Vehicles, Propulsion & Navigation

Abstract

Advanced undersea prototyping and test of Extra Large Unmanned Undersea Vehicle Systems (XLUUVs) will advance the development of unmanned undersea vehicles by leveraging existing Commercial Off The Shelf (COTS) UUVs that are greater than 54 inches in diameter. Payloads will be customized to meet Navy needs and demonstrate useful capability for the fleet. Utilize fleet demonstrations of XLUUVs to rapidly and affordably capture tactics, techniques, and procedures in operating XLUUVs prior to formal introduction of XLUUV programs of record to the fleet. Demonstrate launch, communications, command and control, navigation, endurance, recovery, payload feasibility, and mission planning and execution for XLUUVs. XLUUV energy prototyping will leverage existing independent research and development in energy-dense technology that meet power requirements for XLUUV missions that are limited by the amount of power currently available. Efforts under this program element include research, development, test, and evaluation of advanced development model energy solutions applicable to XLUUVs for increased energy endurance and efficiency to extend the reach of unmanned undersea systems.
