Adv Undersea Prototyping-Vehicles, Propulsion & Navigation

Abstract

Advanced undersea prototyping efforts include development, fabrication and test of ORCA Extra Large Unmanned Undersea Vehicle Systems (XLUUVs) and will advance the development of unmanned undersea vehicles by leveraging Commercial Off The Shelf (COTS) XLUUVs (normally greater than 54 inches in diameter). Payloads will be customized to meet Navy needs and demonstrate useful capability for the fleet. The program will utilize fleet demonstrations of existing XLUUVs to rapidly and affordably capture tactics, techniques, and procedures in operating XLUUVs prior to delivery of the initial XLUUV vehicles to the fleet. This will help develop experience and demonstrate launch, communications, command and control, navigation, endurance, recovery, payload feasibility, and mission planning and execution for XLUUVs.
