Sea Trial

• Navy process for Joint transformation

• Integrates emergent concepts and technologies

• Continuously improves warfighting effectiveness

• Sustains a commitment to innovation

• NWDC serves as the Project Coordinator

5/6/03 5

The Task

• Implement Sea Trial– Formalize experimentation process with fleet

as a major partner.– Integrate Concept Development and

Technology insertion with fleet experimentation.

• Outcomes– Fleet-led, enduring process of innovation– Accelerated concept and technology

development– Enhanced headquarters/fleet alignment

All in a Joint environment

5/6/03 6

The Challenge with Navy CD&E

• Tremendous activity and investment in CD&E

• Not focused across echelons from Headquarters to Fleet

• Gaps between Concept Development – Experimentation – Implementation

• Lacks synergy w/ USMC & Joint Processes

2.1.1.1.1 Detection, Classification, Localization, & Identification (Mine Counter Measures)

.1 Use inorganic sensors (e.g., space-based and covertly deployed long and medium duration sensors within an Expeditionary Sensor Grid) to

provide pervasive and preferably covert wide area sensing over land to assess the status of mines ashore prior to their deployment to delivery platforms.

.2 Covertly track the movement of mines from production and storage areas to staging areas and platforms.

.3 Autonomously detect, track, and establish track histories for mine deployment platforms.

.4 Detect when mine operations have commenced through identification of potential mine-laying events (e.g. splash, bottoming transients, and

visual)..5 Provide the environmental characterization required to allow for optimal

deployment decisions and MIW assessment, including bottom characterization and non-mine-like bottom object locations.

.6 Utilize organic assets including expendable and non-expendable OBS to determine changes to baseline environmental surveys and to detect, classify, and identify mines and mine-like objects in the contested littoral.


5/6/03 24

2.1.1.1.1 Detection, Classification, Localization, & Identification (Mine Counter Measures) - Cont

.7 Achieve overlapping and parallel coverage of the battlespace by utilizing a combination of OBS with different and complementary capabilities, to include Laser, Biomimetics, Acoustic, Chemical, Magnetic, EO, PCL.

.8 Improve capabilities to counter mine CCD (Camouflage, Concealment, and Deception) efforts.

.9 Display outputs from inorganic and organic sensors within a common operational picture that is continuously updated (24/7 MIW characterization for battlespace preparation).

.10 Rapidly locate and classify mine-like objects with high confidence, utilizing OBS mobility, multiple look angles, multi-spectral processing, on-board processing, and adaptive sensors.

.11 Positively identify contacts as mines to support neutralization or avoidance decisions.


5/6/03 25

.1 Assimilate information on mines and mine-like objects from all sensors to enable the decision maker to choose optimal mine neutralization tactics and options against mines prior to their introduction into the water.

.2 Assimilate information on mines and mine-like objects from all sensors to enable the decision maker to choose optimal mine neutralization tactics and options, including avoidance measures such as establishment of safe transit lanes and safe operating areas.

.3 Provide the decision-maker with full suite of destructive and non-destructive suppression and neutralization techniques.

.4 Enable parallel versus sequential mine detection through suppression/neutralization.

.5 Integrate new detection, classification, identification, and neutralization techniques with legacy/program Navy capabilities.

2.1.1.1.2 Neutralization (Mine Counter Measures)


5/6/03 26

.1 Optimize a MIW mission-capable platform, utilizing a roll-on/roll-off MIW mission capabilities module, capable of rapid delivery of OBS for battlespace characterization, mine identification and neutralization, exploitation of OBS network and inorganic signals, and operational and tactical decision implementation based on sensor field outputs.

.2 Deliver large numbers of MCM OBS from tactical air/surface/sub platforms or unmanned vehicles.

.3 Optimize size of OBS for modularity and physical manageability of high volume payloads.

.4 Optimize OBS power/mobility profiles.

.5 Determine optimal OBS/platform interfaces, deployment TTP and servicing options utilizing air/surface/sub platforms to allow for reduced manning in launch and recovery.

.6 Develop OBS delivery options that overcome physical barriers.

2.1.1.1.3 Delivery of Sensors and Prosecutors (Mine Counter Measures)


5/6/03 27

.1 Field a robust communications architecture that provides support for network range/bandwidth requirements (acoustic, laser, RF, fiber) for simultaneous use by all units in the littoral area of interest.

.2 Integrate surface, subsurface, OBS, and off-board sensor pertinent to the same contact(s).

.3 Enable networked fusion of sensor information from multiple sensor outputs within the common network.

.4 Enable off-board sensor and unmanned vehicle management from single consoles or operating stations.

.5 Fuse MIW common operating picture with decision support information from other domains (e.g. ASW, SUW, TAMD) to enable battle-space monitoring and management from single consoles or operating stations.

.6 Enable Naval, joint and coalition forces to exchange digital data, share information, collaboratively plan and execute operations.

2.1.1.1.4 Undersea Warfare Support Network (Mine Counter Measures)


5/6/03 28

.1 Provide a full suite of tactical decision aids and automated tools to provide optimized information to the operator.

.2 Provide operational decision aids to reflect commander’s intent and digital expressions of guidance.

.3 Allow access to shared databases and common doctrine, algorithms, and terminology within open architectures with multi-level security.

.4 Enable unmanned vehicle navigation and intelligent reporting capabilities (navigation, contacts, action reports, autonomous reaction to changing situations).

.5 Provide common displays enabling the operator’s decision processes for contact deconfliction and water space management.

2.1.1.1.5 Operational and Tactical Decision Aids (Mine Counter Measures)


5/6/03 29

.1 Provide fleet operators and decision-makers with robust concept of operations across all MIW (Mine Countermeasures and Mining) mission scenarios.

.2 Refine and mature the MIW Concept of Operations document, ensuring that the concept is developed in conjunction with and integrated with other concepts (e.g. ASW, SUW) required simultaneously to enable Littoral Sea Control.

.3 Provide detailed TT&P for missions, equipment, and OBS for all MIW mission scenarios.

2.1.1.1.6 Refinement of CONOPS & TTP (Mine Counter Measures)


5/6/03 30

.1 As an adjunct to Mine Countermeasures capability, utilize off-board sensors designed to gain battle-space awareness to enable effective own-force sea mining operations.

.2 Provide decision aids and campaign/operational models to assist operators in planning mining operations. Take into account environmental and threat assessments, mine sensors, desired mine effects, target types, available delivery methods and platforms.

.3 Enable flexible joint capability for precise mine delivery using submarine, surface and air platforms in a overt or clandestine manner .

.4 Enable new sea mining capabilities including remote control, standoff delivery, full water depth coverage, enhanced counter detection, mine safety and mine sterilization .

.5 Establish and maintain a capability to protect and maintain own-force mining efforts.
