Payload Handling System (PHS)
Abstract
Payload Delivery Development includes the development of "middle-ware" handling systems used to deploy and retrieve undersea vehicles, payloads, and offboard systems from submarines. Funding will be used to design and develop a build to print Technical Data Package (TDP) for a system to facilitate the raising, lowering and articulation of payloads into and out of submarine large ocean interfaces (e.g. missile tubes; torpedo tubes) to increase future war fighting capabilities. Additionally, these efforts include the transfer of technology and final design packages to industry for future multi-unit procurement and application on future VIRGINIA Class and other future submarines. Long lead-time material purchases began in FY20 and continued into FY21. This material will be dispositioned by the end of FY22. Planned FY22 efforts include completion of a build to print Technical Data Package (TDP) that can be transferred to industry for manufacturing to support future integration into VIRGINIA Class submarines.
