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. FY23 funding will be used to finalize the detailed design of the weapon and conducting system level Critical Design Review (CDR). Focus will be on completing the System Level Critical Design phase and delivering Proof of Design (POD) hardware to allow for completion of land-based testing and beginning the in-water engineering testing program with the POD Hardware. Additionally, the program will be preparing for of award of the All Up Round (AUR) Proof of Manufacture (POM) phase Other Transaction Authority (OTA) at the end of FY23. Long lead material procurements for the MK 54 MOD 2 POM phase will begin in FY23 to reduce the schedule risk prior to awarding the POM phase OTA for an AUR integrator to complete system level production readiness efforts. Additionally, funding to the rotary and fixed wing platforms will also be provided to begin design and development of integration efforts with aircraft necessary to support the MK 54 MOD 2 Test and Evaluation program that begins with test shape and interface testing during the Engineering Test period.
