Abstract
Advanced Undersea Warfighting Prototypes (AUWP) will experiment and develop prototype technologies in support of Navy mining initiatives to augment/inform a future mining program of record. Efforts include a prototype system to advance the capability for a submarine launched autonomous undersea vehicle capable of delivering clandestine delivered mines (CDM)and Smart Mining Initiative (SMI) efforts including a Sea Floor Sensing System, a UUV Launched Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) Electro-Optical (EO) Discriminator, Remote Control Safe and Arm, and EO Safe and Arm. AUWP brings together a number of rapid prototyping, experimentation, and demonstration projects advancing key elements of common undersea warfare kill chains. Range, endurance and capacity demonstrations will deliver warfighting effects at range and from the sea floor in the face of the most challenging anti-access and area denial environments. The concept experiments with two different advanced sensing technical approaches from undersea; one on the sea floor and one from a UUV launched Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV). These advance the targeting, discrimination, and recognition capabilities. Finally, experiments with remote control (arm/de-arm) of fusing systems for maritime smart mines will be conducted. Updated program and schedule plan agreed upon by all stakeholders to use funds sharing between AUP lines and AUWP line C305.
