US Navy's ONR Developing AntiSub Warfare Package for Large Displacement Unmanned Undersea Vehicle


The US Office of Naval Research (ONR) is to brief industry on plans for the development of an Anti-Submarine Warfare (ASW) Mission Package (ASWMP) for its future Large Displacement Unmanned Undersea Vehicle (LDUUV).

This so-called 'Leap Ahead Project' is intended to develop ASW techniques and technologies in the areas of mission autonomy, situational awareness, and undersea sensors.

ONR's LDUUV Innovative Naval Prototype programme is developing a fully autonomous, long endurance UUV capable of extended operation (more than 60 days) in cluttered littoral environments. The programme has to date built three vehicles and is developing energy, autonomy, and core systems to operate in complex ocean environments.
