Maritime Scalable Effects (MSE), Program Number 710

Abstract

The MSE will provide Naval Special Warfare (NSW) a family of systems (FOS) to include multiple payloads delivered via combat swimmer, combat submersible and Unmanned Underwater Vehicle to disrupt, degrade and destroy enemy maritime vessels, maritime support assets, and maritime infrastructure for integrated deterrence by combat-credible forces postured to fight and win as well as build enduring advantages to counter forms of competitor coercion, complicate competitors' military preparations, and develop our own warfighting capabilities. This FOS will include several tactical and training configurations of munitions and related equipment of explosively formed penetrators, conical shape charges, linear shaped charges, diversionary devices, demolition hand grenades, breaching devices, explosives, firing devices, underwater munitions, flares, signaling devices, along with tools, equipment, and attaching devices for constructing and emplacing a variety of demolition charges and other munitions as required. Funding will accelerate upgrades to existing capabilities while at the same time field innovative technologies and creative operational concepts to target adversary vulnerabilities. Directly supports and enables subsea seabed warfare in support of integrated deterrence. Prior to FY 2023, the MSE was previously reported under the Munitions Advanced Development program.
