Anti-Submarine Warfare Sensor (ASW) for Unmanned Surface Vehicles (USVs) (Navy/USMC)
Abstract
This project tests compact sonar sensors from Canada and Norway for potential application on U.S. Navy Unmanned Surface Vehicles (USVs). This project provides new capabilities for USVs to conduct ASW operations which are currently conducted by manned platforms. This project addresses the Autonomous Systems Critical Technology Area. If successful, this technology transitions to the Navy’s Unmanned Maritime Systems Program Office for follow on acquisition and fielding. Successfully completed demonstration of towed sensor at NATO Robotic Experimentation and Prototyping using Maritime Uncrewed Systems (REPMUS) annual military exercise in Portugal during 4Q FY 2022. This project continues in FY 2023 with FY 2022 funding. Hull mounted sensor test article contract awarded in 1Q FY 2023. Test planning to occur in 2Q to 3Q FY 2023. Test article expected to be received in 4Q FY 2023.
