Advanced Propulsors, Experimental (APEX)
Abstract
Current submarine propulsor and propeller designs have reached the technical limits of achieving significant improvements, constrain ship layouts, and maneuvering capabilities. The Advanced Propulsor, Experimental (APEX) program is developing and demonstrating a new generation of submarine propulsor designs enabling revolutionary improvements in submarine design, maneuverability, speed, and quieting that will transform future submarine designs. The APEX program is building upon technologies developed in the Advanced Maritime Defense Technologies Concepts budgeted in PE 0602702E, Project TT-03. The anticipated transition is to the Navy.
