Summary - Where Can Industry Help?
• Bullet Proof COP – MIW and ASW
– Scalable and Survivable Host
– Application based, IA Agile
• UUVs – MIW and ASW
– Modular Payloads – speed over endurance, scuttle / recover
– Wide Area Search & ISR – endurance over speed
– How do we deal with their UUVs?
Reliable Obstacle
Avoidance
• Expeditionary – MIW and ASW
– Self contained capabilities hosted on multiple platforms
– Affordable Coalition options: UUVs, Divers, Training, etc.
• Ordnance – Offensive/Protective Mining
– Lethality throughout water column – “long arms”
– Sensor/Control - RECO, insert early, use at time of choosing, remove easily
• Get Left of Splash
• Accessible “PlayStation-Like” Training
