Anti-Submarine Warfare Sensor Capabilities for Unmanned Surface Vehicles (Navy)

Abstract

This project tests a compact towed variable depth sonar system for Navy Unmanned Surface Vehicles (USVs). This project enhances DoD capabilities in the Autonomous Systems focus area by providing autonomous sensor launch, recovery, and operation suitable for USVs. If successful, this technology will be available for transition to the Navy’s Unmanned Maritime Systems Program Office for follow on acquisition and fielding. Test planning and contract preparation occurred in 4Q FY 2019. Test articles were received in 3Q FY 2020. Acceptance testing occurred in 4Q FY 2020.
