UxS Platform
Abstract
This is the sole project unit that enables deployment of operationally relevant Unmanned Undersea Vehicles (UUVs) from submarines. UxS (Unmanned Systems) Platform is a submarine integration program that delivers rapid innovative research and development prototype efforts for deployable and/or retrievable undersea vehicles from submarines. This includes Subsea & Seabed Warfare (SSW) concepts, offboard systems, and Rapid Fielding Temporary Alterations (RF TEMPALT) for submarines & other platforms. In addition to research and development, the program will support engineering and integration of new and mature technologies to enable rapid prototyping and fielding of capabilities. This will lower the cost risks of incorporating new technologies prior to acquisition and provide rapid solutions to urgent war-fighter needs. Experimentations will be conducted with the Fleet (i.e., Commander, Naval Submarine Forces (COMSUBFOR), Unmanned Undersea Vehicle Squadron One (UUVRON ONE), etc.), enabling an agile environment through at-sea demonstrations, which will provide Fleet and acquisition stakeholders with relevant payload and vehicle employment data to inform Concepts of Operations (CONOPs)and fielding decisions using platforms of opportunity. The program will support transition of high-interest SSW systems from research and development to Programs of Record (PoRs), as appropriate. UxS Platform is comprised of Rapid Innovative R&D Prototype Initiatives, RF TEMPALTs and host platform integration.
