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) (FY 2017) and Capability Development Document (CDD) (FY 2018) 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 MOD 2 program will leverage development and testing under the MOD 1 Increment 2 program to reduce the scope of the test and evaluation required for the MOD 2. FY 2024 funding will focus towards transitioning hardware development from the POD phase Other Transaction Authority (OTA) to the new All Up Round (AUR) Proof of Manufacture (POM) phase OTA, to develop and procure POM quantities, associated test spares, test sets and support equipment. FY 2024 funding will be used primarily for awarding subcontracts to the major subsystems (G&C, WH, FES, SCEPS Afterbody) for material procurements under the AUR POM contract that is planned for award in late FY 2023. Long Lead Materials are being procured in FY 2023 under the POD subsystem OTAs ahead of the POM effort to meet the aggressive schedule and the remaining critical materials to support the G&C, WH, FES, and SCEPS afterbody subsystems will be procured in FY 2024 under the AUR system OTA. The AUR/POM phase OTA is required to complete hardware development and provide the tests assets needed to execute engineering, qualification, developmental and operational test programs in preparation for the follow-on LRIP and deployment phases. The program will also execute a shift from land-based testing to in-water pre-engineering and engineering testing with the POD Hardware towards the end of FY 2024. Operational software development, modeling and simulation verification, platform integration, live warhead testing, and fleet exercise section development efforts will continue in FY 2024 to support engineering and qualification efforts.
