Abstract:

The Unmanned Undersea Vehicle UUV Master Plan Update, chartered in December 2003 by the Deputy Assistant Secretary of the Navy and OPNAV N77 Submarine Warfare Division, expands on the missions and technologies recommended in the Navy UUV Master Plan of April 2000. Using Sea Power 21 for guidance, nine Sub-Pillar capabilities were identified and prioritized 1. Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance 2. Mine Countermeasures 3. Anti-Submarine Warfare 4. Inspection Identification 5. Oceanography 6. Communication Navigation Network Node 7. Payload Delivery 8. Information Operations 9. Time Critical Strike To realize these capabilities, a number of programmatic recommendations were made 1. Develop four UUV classes Man Portable 100 lbs, Light Weight 500 lbs, Heavy Weight 3000 lbs, and Large 20,000 lbs 2. Develop standards and implement modularity 3. Establish a balanced UUV technology program 4. Increase experimentation in UUV technology 5. Coordinate with other unmanned vehicle programs 6. Field systems in the fleet
