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. LRUSV is a semi-autonomous platform capable of multi-domain sensor collections that enables the Marine Division / Marine Expeditionary Force to enhance Maritime Domain Awareness (MDA) for the Naval Expeditionary Force and Coalition maritime operations centers. LRUSV will employ a suite of organic sensors (RADAR, EO/IR, and Electromagnetic Support) to accomplish its primary mission of gaining and maintaining custody of surface contacts of interest in the littoral operating environment. LRUSV sensor capabilities will assist the Marine Division's Marine Reconnaissance Company in its mission to conduct seaward reconnaissance, surveillance, and target acquisition in a peer-threat contested, littoral operating environment across the spectrum of competition, crisis, and conflict to enhance Joint and coalition maritime domain awareness and facilitate the application of Joint fires. In FY 2024, LRUSV began vessel enhancements to the autonomy behaviors, communication architecture, and improvements to the sensor and communication hardware based on Early Operational Assessment (EOA) findings and Capability Requirements Change directives. LRUSV will conduct risk reduction development and test activities supporting manned/unmanned teaming concepts and sea-based command and control (C2) of the LRUSV to inform requirements development. In FY 2025, LRUSV will continue autonomy software development and sensor integration activities, along with additional test and development activities in support of the manned/unmanned teaming concepts and sea-based C2 of the LRUSV. 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 FY 2024, EHDS funds realigned from PE: 0206624M/Proj 2316 to PE: 0603635M/Proj 7400
