Maritime Defense
Abstract
The Maritime Defense program will explore novel technologies and concepts of operations to mature capabilities to extend freedom of access, operations, and homeland defense in all parts of the maritime domain, including waterways, arctic areas, and the seabed. The program will investigate and mature technologies necessary for unmanned underwater vehicle (UUV) and unmanned surface vessel (USV) concepts for defense against large volumes of low-cost expendable platforms, including compressing the detect-to-engage sequence by exploiting localized networked sensors to rapidly detect, identify, and neutralize threats. Enabling technologies for advanced undersea systems, including a revolutionary propulsion concept, and novel approaches for maritime platform self-defense will be investigated. Novel technologies and concepts required for arctic and seabed operations, such as distributed sensing, navigation, and communications architectures, as well as including new technologies to enable long duration maritime platforms, will also be investigated. Finally, future concepts, approaches, and techniques will be identified to enable contested environment operations utilizing unmanned maritime platforms.
