Advanced Anti-Submarine Lightweight Torpedo
Abstract
The MK 54 MOD 2 (ALWT) is developing capability to improve the lethality and speed of the LWT by upgrading the Warhead and Propulsion system to counter challenging near-peer adversary submarines that are faster and deeper diving, leveraging the sonar hardware improvements developed under the MOD 1 program. The Analysis of Alternatives (AoA) and Capability Development Document (CDD) have been completed and approved. The program is leveraging UARCs and Government Agencies for requirements definition and early development, and the use of Other Transactional Authority (OTA)s for system and subsystem detailed design. The program will conduct additional testing and platform integration (surface and air) to further support initial system design work. OTAs are being utilized for development of Guidance and Control (G&C) subsystems, warhead modifications, modified Air Launch Accessories (ALA), improved propulsion system, modified Fleet Exercise System (FES), and system design test sets. Subsystem prototype assembly and test is a significant focus for early development. The remainder of the development phase will be system integration and hardware testing. In addition, aircraft (P-8A and MH-60R) and surface ship integration activities/tasks are planned to align with platform updates to maximize efficiency.
