Distributed Agile Submarine Hunting (DASH)
Abstract
*Formerly Deep Sea Operations (DSOP) The Distributed Agile Submarine Hunting (DASH) program goal is to counter the asymmetric diesel-electric submarine threat through the development of advanced standoff sensing from unmanned systems. Through a scalable number of collaborative sensor platforms that use multiple sensing modalities, the program will demonstrate system solutions to detect and localize submarines over large areas in both shallow and deep water environments. Initial efforts will focus on identifying the best detection methods leveraged from state-of-the-art sensors and new physical and operational insights. From this work, a prototype system will evolve through at-sea testing and sensor integration. The program will achieve breakthrough technology for long-range detection and classification, communications, energy management, sensor and platform integration, and robust semi-autonomous processing and control for distributed sensing platforms. This program will transition to the Navy.
