  1. USV Capability UUXO Partnership Workshop Michael Fetsch 10 October 2008

  2. Unmanned Craft Experience ‘07 ‘05 ‘03 HSMST 7 m Target Drone 1990’s QST –35 SEPTAR 56’ Target Drone 1980’s QST –33 SEPTAR 18’ target Drone QST –34 USSV MIW 40’ MIW LCS USV 1970’s USSV HS 39’ ASW 1960’s USSV HTF 39’ MIW

  3. Unmanned System Design • Reset of Circuit Breakers • Power monitoring & control • Accelerations • Launch & Recovery Hull OPTIMIZATION • Tow Force • Motions • Endurance • Stealth • L&R of payloads • Electronically Controlled Engines Electrical Payload Propulsion

  4. USV Master Plan

  5. Small USVs

  6. Larger USVs

  7. Other USV Types • Full Displacement • Hydrofoils • Sailboats • Multi-hulls • Catamaran • Trimaran • SWATH • M-hull

  8. USV Strengths • Unmanned vehicle specialty missions • Dull, Dirty, Dangerous • How does this translate for USV’s? • MAXIMIZE Persistence • Increase Payload Fraction • Trade-off between fuel and sensors • Improved Seakeeping • Allow USV to operate in higher seastates • Increase maintenance intervals • Reduce breakdowns • Vessel systems monitoring • Electronically controlled raw water cooling systems • Fault tolerant software/programming

  9. USSV Program • Objective • To demonstrate improved operational capability of Unmanned Surface Vehicles by optimizing the vehicle’s performance characteristics for selected missions • Clean sheet design • Optimize range, endurance, speed, payload fraction, seakeeping, tow thrust, etc. • 6.2 program, but focused on rapid “time to market”

  10. LCS USV USSV-HTF USSV-HS Low-speed, High endurance, SS-5 at low speed high payload / tow-load Fwd refuel option for range 18,100 lbs displacement at launch High-Speed, high endurance, SS-5 at low speed SS-4+ at high speed Moderate payload / fwd refuel option 21, 500 lbs displacement at launch 11-meter RHIB Moderate-speed, moderate-endurance, SS-5 at low speed SS-3 at moderate speed moderate payload / tow-load 11-meter RHIB commonality 9 ton maximum displacement 1. Littoral ASW 2. SuW (Ex: NetFires) 3. ISR/EW 1. Active Minesweeping 2. ISR/EW 3. SuW (Ex: NetFires) Ex:SPARTAN ACTD

  11. USSV-HS (High Speed) • CAPABILITIES • Maximum Speed 40 knots • Cruise Speed >30 knots • Stabilized platform Up to SS 4 • Range @ Cruise Speed 200 nautical miles • Endurance 11 hours • Payload Capacity 4500 lbs Reduced Motions in a Seaway • PRINCIPAL CHARACTERISTICS • Length 39’ 0” • Beam 9’ 6” • Draft (hull) 1’ 10” • Lightship Displacement 15,000 lbs • Full Load Displacement 21,500 lbs • Engine (2) Yanmar 6YLA-STP • BUILDER • Maritime Applied Physics Corporation • MISSION PACKAGE • Modular Payloads • SuW • EW • ASW Sensors

  12. USSV-HTF (High Tow Force) CAPABILITIES Maximum Speed >25 knots Cruise Speed 21 knots Range @ Cruise Speed +350 nautical miles Endurance 19 hours Tow Capacity 3000 lbs at 19 kts 2500 lbs at 21 kts Tow Force, Endurance, Payload • PRINCIPAL CHARACTERISTICS • Length 39’ 0” • Beam 9’ 6” • Draft 2’ 3” • Lightship Displacement 9,000 lbs • Full Load Displacement 18,000 lbs • Engine (2) Yanmar 6YLA-STP • Propulsion (2) 23" GAWN • BUILDER • Maritime Applied Physics Corporation • MISSION PACKAGE • Modular Payloads • SuW • MIW • EW • ASW

  13.

  14. Programs Naida US3 11.8m 30kt MIW ONR-PC NEO 38’ 50kt ISR ONR/NSWC Seafox 16’ 40kt ISR PMS 403 Surveyor 7m 30kt ISR PEO LMW Seafox II 17’ 35kt ISR PMS 403 LCS ASW 11m 30kt NUWC AMN 40’ 40kt Navigation ONR Spartan 7&11m ISR NUWC Cascading Vehicles Study S&FAC

  15. Cascading Vehicles • USV are naturally capable of supporting other UV’s • Mother Platforms • Small UUV’s with limited transit speed, range, and comm’s • Small UAV’s with limited endurance, payload • Refuel’ers • Communication links • crossing the divide from under water to above water • Control centers • coordinating the operations of several less autonomous vehicles

  16. SWATH USV LCS requirements currently limit vessel size and therefore capability. What if this was not a requirement? Current USVs cannot fully operate in SS4. What trade-offs must be made to achieve meet this requirement ?
