Willow

Abstract

The Willow program will develop innovative payloads to conduct Acoustic Warfare (AW) to counter active surface sonars using a unique combination of acoustic hardware and waveforms provided by advanced sonar signal processing algorithms. Willow will provide a robust capability to help the Navy respond to active sonar threats. No current method exists to challenge adversary active sonars. Willow will use advanced hardware-in-the-loop simulations, Independent Verification and Validation (IV&V), and stressing at-sea testing to create this capability. Technology developed under this program will transition to the Navy.
