Combat Capability Development Transition
Abstract
Long Range Unmanned Surface Vessel (LRUSV) is a Marine Corps Force Design priority that has demonstrated, through extensive wargaming and simulations, significant operational impact in the Naval Expeditionary Force's surface warfare campaign against peer competitors in the maritime battlespace, particularly when operating within planned sensor and communication networks. As such the LRUSV capability, when fully matured, is a critical element of the CMC's force modernization plan. LRUSVs, employed individually or in formations of multiple vessels under the cognizance of a LRUSV company or subordinate element will be unmanned vessels, capable of conducting semi-autonomous maneuvers in the open ocean for extended periods of time employing tele-operated Organic Precision Fires (OPF) and small Unmanned Surface Vessels (sUSV) in support of sea control and sea denial operations. This prototyping effort will use an incremental approach to deliver capabilities that leverages prototype development to integrate vessels, autonomy packages, Fire Control Application (FCA), and OPF, and will be linked to experimentation and demonstration to reduce technical and integration risk, validate designs, and better inform achievable and affordable requirements, with the ultimate goal of delivering operationally suitable and effective capabilities to the FMF in the late 2020s. In FY 2023, the Marine Corps conducted an Early Operational Assessment (EOA) with trained Marine operators and LRUSV prototypes to validate employment concepts and further refine requirements. In FY 2024, LRUSV will begin vessel enhancements to the autonomy behaviors, communication architecture, and improvements to the sensor and communication hardware based on EOA findings. Explosive Hazard Defeat Systems (EHDS) provides capabilities not found in the current Joint land force structure to defeat explosive hazards and protect Marines and equipment while conducting route and area clearance operations. The EHDS will enable Commanders to deliberately operate in explosive hazards environments by detecting and marking explosive hazards, enabling the Commanders to make timely and informed decisions to avoid the explosive hazards, or, if necessary, neutralize explosive hazards that impede their missions. In FY2024, EHDS funds realigned from PE: 0206624M/Proj 2316 to PE: 0603635M/Proj 7400
