UNDERSEA WEAPONRY
Abstract
Undersea Weaponry focuses on the development of enabling technologies to counter threat submarines and surface vessels by increasing Probability of Kill (PK) and platform survivability. Weapon technology focus areas include: the Lightweight Torpedo Technologies (LTT) and the Compact Rapid Attack Weapon (CRAW) projects. The ultimate goal of this activity is to provide revolutionary capabilities needed to fill Sea Shield Warfighter Capability Gaps, to accommodate unique payload limitations through the development of modular and reduced sized undersea weapons based on common technology enablers (where possible), and to provide improved submarine cuing/wide area search in deep and shallow water ocean areas while providing the capability to rapidly transition the submarine mission to engagement/neutralization. The FY 2012 to FY 2013 funding decrease is due to the realignment of Future Naval Capability (FNC) SHD-FY11-01 Torpedo Common Hybrid Fuzing System to R2 Activity SEA SHIELD in PE 0603673N, and the completion of Future Naval Capability (FNC) SHD-FY07-02 Compact Rapid Attack Weapon.
