UUV Master Plan: A Vision for Navy UUV Development

Abstract

At the request of the Assistance Secretary of the Navy for Research, Development and Acquisition (ASN-RDA). The Navy Unmanned Undersea Vehicle (UUV) Master Plan was prepared, outlining recommended development pathways for UUV systems and technologies for the next decade and beyond. An overall vision of UUVs as integral parts of the battle force is portrayed, with four signature capabilities seen as critical to both near term and long term goals. The technologies required to accomplish these missions were surveyed, and a programmatic roadmap was prepared to develop those capabilities determined to be on the critical paths for implementation.
