Program detail
Mission & acquisition strategy
This program improves Air Anti-Submarine Warfare (ASW) effectiveness through development and maturation of advanced hardware and software associated with airborne acoustic and non-acoustic sub-systems. This includes sensors and components, data recording, processing, post-processing and display capabilities to address near-peer threat scenarios against surfaced or submerged conventionally and nuclear powered submarines. Key objectives include: advancing active and passive sensors and components; improving detection, classification, localization and tracking; and increasing capacity and flexibility to handle multi-sensor data loads.
Develop and mature acoustic and non-acoustic ASW technologies that have high potential for meeting documented capability gaps and Fleet requirements. As funding permits for technology maturation, transition those technologies to acquisition programs of record for eventual Fleet release on ASW platforms.

Inside the project
1 accomplishment / planned program
The R-2A exhibit. Activities carry the prior, current and budget year only — no five-year plan — and they are descriptive: coverage is partial and they do not always add back to the project, so count them, never total them. Opening lines only here — the full year-by-year narrative is on the project page.

Named performers on project 1292
Performers named in the R-3 exhibit under this project. Share is of the project's whole FY2027 R-3 total — the same denominator the program-element split uses, so the two read on one scale and will not sum to 100% when unnamed or government work is in the mix. Budget-justification contract funding, not obligations.

What project 1292 buys
This program improves Air Anti-Submarine Warfare (ASW) effectiveness through development and maturation of advanced hardware and software associated with airborne acoustic and non-acoustic sub-systems. This includes sensors and components, data recording, processing, post-processing and display capabilities to address near-peer threat scenarios against surfaced or submerged conventionally and nuclear powered submarines. Key objectives include: advancing active and passive sensors and components; improving detection, classification, localization and tracking; and increasing capacity and flexibility to handle multi-sensor data loads. Technology evaluations include sonobuoy communication links to/from aircraft, distributed netted sensors, transient signals, and source and receiver technologies that will enhance passive and multistatic active sensor systems. Products being funded will provide for the development and maturation of persistent tactical search technologies that will allow transition to the localization and attack phase in operationally relevant environments. In addition, the program will provide for the development and subsequent experimentation, including data collection and engineering measurement, of the next generation of multistatic sources and receivers; passive sensors and processors; and non-acoustic technologies. Matured technologies that increase operational capability will transition to acquisition programs of record for eventual release on ASW platforms. The RDT&E test articles reflect the upper unit quantities for early USAB2 prototyping.
