Upward Falling Payloads (UFP)

Abstract

The goal of the Upward Falling Payloads (UFP) program is to develop forward-deployed unmanned distributed systems that could provide non-lethal effects or situational awareness over large maritime environments. Building upon and complimenting concepts for maritime situational awareness and Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) developed under the DASH program, budgeted in PE 0603766E, Project NET-02, the UFP approach centers on pre-deploying deep-ocean nodes years in advance in forward operating areas which could be commanded from standoff to launch to the surface.
