Abstract:

The Unmanned Surface Vehicle USV Master Plan was chartered by the Program Executive Office for Littoral and Mine Warfare PEOLMW. It provides the guide for USV development to effectively meet the Navys strategic planning and fleet objectives and the force transformation goals of the Department of Defense DoD to the year 2020. Plan development was built on the results from Workshops conducted at the Naval War College and the Fleet ASW Training Center in late 2004 and early 2006, respectively, with major analysis, synthesis, and development efforts being conducted by a USV Master Plan Core Team. The USV Master Plan has the following objectives to define USV capabilities for the near, mid and far terms to establish levels of performance and USV classes aligned with capabilities to evaluate technology needs to assess current readiness and recommended future investments.
