Payloads and Sensors/Subtotal Cost
Abstract
Develop promising advanced technologies and/or concepts capable of revolutionizing submarine design, reducing cost, improving payload flexibility, increasing capability, reducing weight and space requirements, exploring alternative payload launch mechanisms, increasing reliability with accompanying decreases in required maintenance, and improving material strength. Develop payload demonstrations targeted at improving flexible ocean interfaces, Intelligence, Surveillance, Reconnaissance (ISR) requirements, and payload and launch retrieval methods from undersea platforms. Conduct Navy and joint SEA TRIALS that take demonstrations to the Fleet in order to assess the operational value of the technologies and systems under consideration. The SEA TRIALS/experiments support examination and assessment of potential new Fleet capabilities based on Sea Power 21. Focus is on the Undersea Enterprise (USE), the Naval Network/FORCENET (NNFE), Naval Expeditionary Combat Enterprise (NECE), Surface Warfare Enterprise (SWE), and Special Operations Force Enterprise (SOFE).
