SEACORP, LLC — Department of Defense SBIR Phase II: N95-053

Description

SEA CORP will leverage the innovative technologies developed under the prior SBIR Phase II project and extend the Research & Development (R&D) activities to the development of critical submarine combat system payload integration efforts. In the previous effort, components were successfully developed facilitating integration of Improved Submarine Launched Mobile Mine (ISLMM) capability aboard submarines, both US and Royal Australian Navy (RAN). The core components and concepts that facilitated that integration effort will be utilized as the baseline for integration of representative payloads with AN/BYG-1. This effort will focus on the integration of new and modified submarine torpedo and missiles including Mk 48 Advanced Capability (ADCAP) Advanced Processor Build (APB) 5 and APB5+ torpedoes, next generation land attack and anti-ship missiles, and Unmanned Vehicles (UxV). Upon final testing and NAVSEA technical concurrence, the technologies developed under this effort will be made available to the combat system Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) for use in development of next generation submarine combat systems. The technology can be easily adapted to support USN submarines as well as submarines of foreign navies with other payload capabilities. Successful development of common core components to support payload integration and subsequent demonstrations will greatly reduce future development costs.
