Small Unmanned Surface Vessel (SUSV), Program Number V36

Abstract

The SOF SUSV program procures commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) modular systems that house government-off-the-shelf (GOTS) payloads in accordance with Special Operations Rapid Requirements Document (SORRD). The SUSV fielding is divided into two endurance categories to address missions lasting a few days (short endurance (SE) and missions lasting from months to years (long endurance (LE). The SE platforms will operate in concert with NSW Group 4 surface mobility assets and address contested logistics, enables access to contested / denied areas in the maritime domain, provides maritime special reconnaissance capabilities and reduces risk to personnel and manned platforms. The LE platforms will provide persistent maritime intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR).
