Advanced Anti-Submarine Lightweight Torpedo
Abstract
Developing an Advanced Lightweight Torpedo (ALWT) capable of prosecuting challenging adversary submarine targets. The effort has completed Analysis of Alternatives (AoA) and out briefed the selected material solution. Improvements to various hardware subsystems were evaluated for performance improvements along with software and algorithm updates. The AoA completed 4Q FY 2017. In FY 2019, the program will leverage the use of Other Transactional Authority (OTA)s for system and subsystem development strategies. FY 2019 funding will allow for more detailed design and development work (HW/SW) to commence. The FY will begin with significant system requirements and initial functional allocation work. In FY20, the program will begin additional development of support equipment, test sets, and air launch accessories. The program will conduct additional testing and platform integration (surface and air) to further support initial system design work. Funds will be distributed on OTAs for development of Guidance and Control (G&C) subsystems, warhead modifications, modified Air Launch Accessary (ALA) wing kit, and modified afterbodies; Otto fuel and improved propulsion system. Additional funding will be provided on UARC contracts for integration support and to NUWCs for government software development and support. Subsystem prototype build and test for major subsystems is the biggest cost driver from FY19 to FY20 (materials, build process development, and test program included). Significant aircraft integration tasks begin (P-8A and MH-60R) which will include software and interface design activities. PDR is occurring in FY20 which leads to detailed system modeling with associated simulation runs, analysis and drawing preparation. This task requires assessing analysis to date and subsystem prototype performance to ensure we are moving out with the correct initial system design. Milestone B preparation will also require additional subject matter expert (SME) involvement for assessment and documentation development.
