SPARTAN: A Distributed Mobile USW Sensor and Weapon System

Abstract

NavSea Undersea Warfare Center Division, Newport in consort with Raytheon Corporation, Northrop Grumman Corporation and TEAM ONE USA has, under development, a mobile system capable of various undersea warfare (USW) missions. These missions include, but are not limited to, antisubmarine warfare (ASW) and intelligence. surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR). The system includes a small manned/unmanned surface craft that can be reconfigured to carry personnel and/or mission modules. The SPARTAN system can be carried aboard a host ship, pre-deployed, or air dropped into the theater of operations. This paper will describe SPARTAN characteristics, potential payloads. and future plans.
