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?

• 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

Reliable Obstacle Avoidance
