Where’s the money going?

Mission Description The Snakehead Large Displacement Unmanned Undersea Vehicle

(LDUUV) program will design and build a modular, reconfigurable Unmanned Undersea Vehicle (UUV) with Open Architecture (OA) software (SW) focused on introducing a new class (large displacement) of UUVs to the Navy to provide increased endurance, payload hosting, and delivery capability.

Mission Description • Will advance the development of unmanned undersea vehicles by leveraging

existing Commercial Off The Shelf (COTS) XLUUVs (normally greater than 54 inches in diameter).

• Efforts under this program element include research, development, test, and evaluation of advanced development model energy solutions applicable to XLUUVs for increased energy endurance and efficiency to extend the reach of unmanned undersea systems.

• XLUUV is being developed via a full and open competition of up to two industry teams to design systems (with down select to one team to fabricate).

Mission Description • Program will leverage existing independent research and development in

energy-dense technology that could meet power requirements for UUV missions, which are limited by the amount of power that they can carry.

• The Common Control/Autonomy portion of this project funds risk reduction and developmental efforts of autonomy systems and architectures to work to develop common standards, interfaces, and systems to support cross-domain applications.

• Components for common cross domain prototyping and system integration with surrogate systems in FY20.

•

Mission Description • Leveraging the developments at ONR and other activities for undersea

weapons, work to complete analysis of feasibility, policy, lethality, and performance of integrating undersea weapons systems on XLUUVs.

• Program will design new hardware, investigate and develop new interfaces/systems to increase lethality in the both undersea and surface targets. New C2 algorithms will be developed for advanced targeting.

Mission Description • This effort will investigate the possibilities of employing non-lethal payloads

from the XLUUV to support ISR and strike missions.

• Non-kinetic payloads provide the warfare commander an option to stop aggressive behavior without escalating the conflict. Non-lethal payloads that will be considered include jamming, EO/IR dazzling, microwave, aerial assets, and other methods.

Mission Description The Knifefish program was initiated in FY11 to develop Surface Mine

Countermeasure Unmanned Undersea Vehicles (SMCM UUV) equipped with advanced Low Frequency Broadband (LFBB) sonar that provides volume, bottom, and buried mine detection capability. Initial procurement of the SMCM UUV with LFBB begins in FY 2018 after Milestone C with additional procurements in subsequent years.

Advanced undersea prototyping and test of Extra Large Unmanned Undersea Vehicles (XLUUVs) will advance the development of unmanned undersea vehicles systems by leveraging ongoing ONR and Industry UUV efforts for larger diameter vehicles.

The Department of the Navy’s 2018 Presidential budget request includes more than $151 million for the development and deployment of unmanned underwater vehicles. Over the next year, undersea unmanned vehicles will continue to be used in a wide variety of mission sets that include mine countermeasures, anti-submarine warfare, ISR, payload deliver and oceanography amongst others. To further elaborate, below we’ve outlined some of the key investment highlights.
