CLAWS

Abstract

The CLAWS INP effort will develop an autonomous unmanned undersea weapon system capable of providing offensive effects to the Combatant Commanders beyond Phase 0 inside the first island chain. It will clandestinely extend the reach of large UUVs and increase the mission areas into kinetic effects. CLAWS will deliver algorithms to enable all families of UUVs to operate in complex, dynamic and degraded environments. CLAWS will demonstrate autonomous missions in denied waters, develop and demonstrate autonomous technologies for survivability of large UUVs, and develop autonomy and launch capabilities for special mission payloads. CLAWS will be able to complete missions 1&2 against near peer adversary defenses, maintain critical communication with Navy C2/Fires and provide critical ISR information.
