Hydra

Abstract

Previously funded JCTD. Hydra supports the National Defense Strategy's focus to enhance forward force maneuver and posture resilience, as well as joint lethality in contested environments. Hydra will provide U.S. Central Command and U.S. European Command the capability to deliver payloads from an undersea platform. Hydra adapts the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency's (DARPA) Hydra system and Office of Naval Research technologies to solve a CCMD's capability shortfall, and will mature command and control capabilities to deliver the desired payload from an unmanned system. In FY 2019, Hydra delivered a final concept of operations, technical data packages, command and control package, and a military utility assessment. Hydra transitioned the technical package, cyber security artifacts and prototypes to the U.S. Navy Unmanned Maritime Systems Program Office (PMS 406). JCTD completes in FY 2020.
