Abstract
C619 Improved CAVES Technology: The details of this effort are SECRET. The purpose of this effort is to design, develop, and test advanced technology solutions to improve performance of Conformal Acoustic Velocity Sonar (CAVES) technology in acoustic arrays. The Large Vertical Array (LVA) is a hull-mounted acoustic array using CAVES technology which, with other onboard systems and sonar processing capabilities, allows a submarine to "see" other submarines and surface ships in its vicinity. This effort will evaluate improvements in material systems, biocides, and risk reduction testing for next generation acoustic arrays (CAVES) technology to enhance the submarine Fleet's undersea capability. C643 Workforce Partnership Research: To fund innovative research and manufacturing partnerships among academia, government, and industry. Such partnerships are needed to translate technological advances to emerging Navy undersea vehicles and systems in cost effective ways, to train a highly skilled workforce, and to support increased and sustained submarine production capacity. The program plans to support these efforts by providing the government, UARC and industry propulsor design workforce with improved computational models, simulation tools, small scale physical models and advanced manufacturing capabilities; by continuing government, industry and workforce partnership to mature the technology and manufacturing readiness levels of new submarine hull treatments; and by working with industry partners, UARCs, and the Fleet to support launch and recovery (L&R) testing and demonstrations which will enhance the fidelity of future UUV torpedo tube L&R modeling, and ensure the warfare center and industry workforce is postured with the tools and experience required to support the growing size and scope of the Fleet's UUV inventory.
