Objective • Develop Navy recommendations to testing, evaluating and acquiring swimmer detection systems (SDS) FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY
Tested at Crane LM Canada UIDS SAIC/Reson Seabat 8111 Kongsberg SM 2000 Furno CH 250 Furno CH 37 Sunwest SS3300 UW APL DIDSON Paper Evaluation WQX-2 C-Tech CSAS-80 Thales Sea Guardian Sonatech DDS WESMAR WEB Systems FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY
Panel Findings Best Systems based on Parameters WQX-2 (ARL/UT Current N34 R&D program) System is not available. Development of WQX-3 estimated 18 months SAIC/Reson Kongsberg WESMAR FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY
Immediate (deployed 2-3 months) Protect In Port High Value Assets Short Term (deployed less than 1 year) Further Test and evaluation COTS Continue existing R&D efforts Long Term (deployed 2 years out) MNS/ORD Acquisition and Support Strategy Recommendations Categories (Timeframes) FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY
Long Term Recommendations • Develop MSN/ORD and Acquisition strategy to provide both ship and shore high dollar asset protection • Continue N34 WQX-3 R&D program FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY
Conclusions • Extensive commercial capability exists • No perfect solution exists today • Significant technology advances will occur within CY02 • Interim systems exist to provide limited capability now • NAVSEA is prepared to meet Fleet acquisition and support requirements if funding is identified • Long Term solution (2 years out) still requires MNS/ORD • Continue “SDS IPT meetings” every 6 months • Extend IPT membership to CFFC and ONR FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY
