Undersea Ocean Surveillance Using Submarine CablesCommander Nitin Agarwala, Indian Navy, IndiaUndersea Ocean Surveillance was an advent of the Cold War strategic ne-cessity, WW-II and progress in underwater acoustics that gave rise to thefamous SOSUS programme of the US. Since then, undersea ocean surveil-lance has mainly been used for military purposes with the US leading theway and Japan helping them to monitor Russian submarines into the Pa-cific. The end of the Cold War placed the SOSUS programme on ‘hotstandby’, however, what began as a military requirement, gained scientificimportance forcing retention of some arrays of the north-west Pacific sys-tem to support civilian scientific research for tracking whales and monitor-ing undersea volcanic activity.Notwithstanding the ‘hot standby’ status of the SOSUS, ‘the Fish Hook Un-dersea Defence Line’ of USN-JMDSF and the ‘Undersea Great Wall’ of PRCalong with various passive and active systems have been developed toprovide continuous acoustic coverage over vast ocean areas of ocean forextended periods.A passive system not much spoken off is the ‘submarine telecommunica-tion cable’ which otherwise form the backbone of the telecommunicationnetwork around the globe.Studies reveal that by suitably modifying the re-peaters, these cables can be used for ocean surveillance along with theirprimary function of telecommunication.Though legal issues exist, these ca-bles can be used to secure a country’s EEZ within the existing legal regimeby creating an ‘Undersea Ocean Surveillance Wall’.The paper discusses the capability of the submarine telecommunicationcable to be used for undersea ocean surveillance and their future use.

Broad Area Maritime SurveillanceCaptain JATINDER BAINS, Channel Logistics LLC, United StatesBroad Area Maritime Surveillance (BAMS) is a $15 Billion industry usingmarine patrol aircraft and more recently high endurance UAV’s to monitorlarge swaths of typically unmonitored waters. Space-Eyes will demon-strate BAMS capability using a low earth orbit satellite carrying an auto-matic identification system (AIS) receiver and synthetic aperture radar(SAR) payload with a 400 km swath. The uniqueness lies in co-locating amaritime AIS and SAR sensor on the same spacecraft. The data consti-tuting (compliant and non-compliant targets) is further integrated with 50+maritime data sources to ascertain context in the area of interest. To fur-ther enhance near real-time contextual content the geospatial content isintegrated with optical images from a second satellite. Industry estimatesare that by 2021 there will be 100+ micro and small radar satellites. WalterScott Chief Technology Officer, MAXAR Technologies told SpaceNews “It’sactually easier for machines to pull data out of radar imagery than to pullit out of electro-optical; Radar brings its own flash bulb, its own lightsource. It’s more predictable than optical imagery.” For Broad Area Mar-itime Surveillance it’s less about a picture but using the radar satellite todetect asymmetric threats in the Sea Lanes of Communications (SLOC’s).Space-Eyes will add value as a tipping and cueing capability to marine pa-trol aircrafts and submarines.

Seamless Management for Maritime Radar on BoardHelicoptersMr. Stephane Kemkemian, Thales, FranceFor obvious reasons, future helicopter-borne surveillance systems will beoperated with reduced crew members (from three or more yesterday totwo in the future). This means that crew will have to simultaneously pilotthe aircraft and operate the sensor system without extensive “radar ex-pertise and training”. On the other hand, radar systems are increasinglycomplex and have many operating modes (e.g. processing, waveform,scanning, etc.), each combination being optimal for a given type of targetin a given environment and a given situation. For technological reasons, itis indeed not possible with a single operating mode to be optimal in all sit-uations. On legacy systems, the correct choice relies on the operator’s skillsas well as his correct appreciation of the environmental conditions (e.g. seastate). In the proposed concept, the radar is a “black box”: the crew doesnot set the radar parameters but assigns one or more tasks to the radar:for example, detecting a particular class of ships in a certain area. Thisseamless management relies on several stages:Periodic sensing of the environment (clutter level, interferences, etc.).Use of external knowledge (Digital Terrain Models, outputs from other sen-sors, etc.).Automatic reasoning phase (based for example on Machine Learning) todetermine which settings (waveform, processing, etc.) optimize the as-signed mission (what a very skilled operator would do without the stressconstraints inherent to the mission).Several levels of results can thus be presented to the crew:Performance capability of each radar mode (useful for crew training).Recommendation of the best radar setting or automatic choice of the bestsetting.Recommendation of a more appropriate observation point (e.g. a differentaltitude or another position relative to the wind/swell).

Mr George McNamara

Control Station Human Machine Interface (CaSHMI)Dr. Lynn Ewart, Naval Undersea Warfare Center, United StatesThe multiple cross-domain Unmanned Vehicles (UxVs) operations acrossthe undersea and air domains discussed in the previous brief employedCaSHMI as the UxV command and control (C2) node. CaSHMI was devel-oped to enable the US Navy’s vision for a scalable, common, multi-vehicle,multi-mission UxV controller. CaSHMI used the User Centered Designmethodology to develop a human-machine interface (HMI) for control andmission management of multiple cross-domain UxVs with a minimal num-ber of operators in support of a range of Navy operational missions. Theintegrated design, development, experimentation, and testing approachwas anchored in an operational use case focused on Fleet assetsConsiderable emphasis was placed on the software (SW) architecture andon the use of UxV standards within both the HMI and UxV controller SW.Both employ the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) UxS Control Seg-ment (UCS) Multi-Domain Extension (MDE) standard. The use of the openstandard across the HMI and UxV controller creates a well understooddata abstraction layer between the HMI’s modern web-based environ-ment and the UxV controller’s Open Management Group (OMG) Data Dis-tribution Service (DDS) backend. The use of this architecture and thesestandards creates interoperability, either cross-service or intra-service, aswell as allowing vender-independent UxV (C2) enhancements.This presentation will discuss the CaSHMI HMI, software design, and detailsof live asset UAS and UUV operations not covered in the previous talk.

Extending the Range of Unmanned System Operations inSemi-Permissive and Non-Permissive EnvironmentsDr Michael Incze, Naval Undersea Warfare Center, United StatesIncreased detection and tracking capabilities in coastal waters by sensingsystems across all domains increase risk to military platforms operating insemi- and non-permissive tactical environments. Targeting and strikeranges from shore and near-shore defensive forces have also increased,exacerbating the risk. As a result, manned platforms adopt longer stand-off ranges to support coastal missions until superiority is achieved, andunmanned systems are tasked with extended transits and mission timesin forward operations with limited communications.This dynamic drives near-term development of technology and Conceptsof Operation (CONOPS) for unmanned systems in coastal waters, and itpromotes increased numbers of unmanned systems in cooperative andcollaborative missions. Some of the technology development is focused onhardware solutions for obvious requirements of endurance, obstacleavoidance, long-range navigation, and other challenges imposed by theextended transit itself. Many of the most challenging aspects of this sce-nario, however, are related to Command and Control (C2) and the impli-cations of operating multiple vehicles at extended ranges. Theseimplications include: 1. A common Human:Machine Interface (HMI) enablingdistributed control 2. Extended communication ranges for C2, in-stridedata exfiltration, and dynamic re-tasking3. Improved autonomy for inde-pendent mission re-planning based on sensed data 4. Collaboration ofmultiple unmanned systems across air/land/sea domainsThis presentation will describe C2 and CONOPS development for multi-vehicle UxV operations at extended ranges in a distributed control struc-ture. Standard services and protocols and Fleet unmanned systems have

29

been utilized to support realistic performance expectations in near-termtransition to military applications.

Systems Execution Modelling to Reduce Combat SystemDesign RisksMr Gavin Puddy, Defence Science and Technology Group, AustraliaSpace, Weight and Power–Cooling (SWaP-C) are major design concernsfor conventionally powered submarines. With modern submarine combatsystems increasing in complexity, approaches that provide early insightinto design choice impacts becomes important and critical for design andrisk mitigation efforts. In response to this and an identified modelling andanalysis capability gap for submarine combat system integration and per-formance evaluation, Australia’s Defence Science and Technology (DST)Group has developed a new type of measurement-based modelling andanalysis environment. Built on an approach of constructing the actual sys-tem computing infrastructure and deploying models representing appli-cation behaviours, measurement-based analysis can provide for earlyinsight in integration and performance risks associated with combat sys-tem design choices earlier and at a high fidelity than traditional modellingapproaches. DST Group is currently conducting combat system design ex-perimentation with this environment, and is positioning it in readiness tosupport combat system design for Australia’s Future Submarine Program.While the use of this new environment will focus on submarine combat sys-tems, the environment could be adopted to other types of combat or mis-sion system design and risk mitigation efforts.

Optical Systems: An Artificial Future VisionMr. Ross Ashley, Thales, United KingdomOverviewSubmarine visual sensors continue to evolve at an extraordinary rate butthe true revolution in operational performance and capability is likely tocome from the application of advanced processing and data manipulationtechniques that have exploded from the commercial world.This paper willoutline the Thales experience in this area and examine its application inthe naval domain for submarine visual systems.AbstractThales has been involved in the innovation, development and deploymentof submarine visual systems for over 100 years.Initially innovation camefrom improvements in optical designs, then from improvements in sensortechnologies but the next leap forward in capability and performance willcome from the application of advanced processing techniques, AI and theexploitation of multiple data sources.In this presentation Thales will:Outline on-going developments in the commercial sphereProvide an overview of how this is currently being applied in the militaryenvironmentEvaluate and speculate on how this could be applied/developed in thesubmarine visual domain to maximise capability and performanceAn associated issue that will be addressed is the human factors impact:How do we grow and ensure operator confidence with increasingly auto-mated systems?What is the optimum way for the operator to interact with these systemsincluding the possibilities presented by augmented and virtual reality?

System Architecting for Warship DesignMr Rafine Benoit, Naval Group, FranceMr Romain Le Nena, Naval Group, FranceAbstract:The evolution of technology has been extremely fast since 2000. Conse-quently there have been deep effects for naval systems in terms of sys-tems capabilities, performances and automation. The recent technologicalbreakthroughs have been achieved in conjunction with a change in the de-sign paradigms. Evolution in design methods and tools has had less visi-

30


bility than technical achievements, yet it is a key enabler in today’s tech-nological push.Naval Group is involved in a number of R&D actions aiming at developingthe methods for designing tomorrow’s combat ships. System architectureis one of the main challenges in the design of complex systems, and manydifferent tools are being used today for system architecting. In most cases,connecting system architecture and functional analysis with the conven-tional naval architecture process is an issue. Naval Group is investigatingan alternative approach to system architecting, based on the analysis ofthe interactions between the physical components of the ship (taken fromthe Product Breakdown Structure). It is expected that this approach willimprove the overall development process and provide a framework for riskmitigation based on architecture analysis coupled with a detailed physicaldescription of the product.

Naval Collective TrainingMr. Laurent de Jerphanion, Thales, FranceWhen modern Navies have to be ready to face any threat at any time, theefficiency of crews is paramount. This professionalism is based on an in-depth knowledge of equipment, a robust doctrine of employment and thehighest level of training.Training is key to face any complex situation with a focus on drill and ex-ploring extreme situation. With adequate simulators one can set up anyspecific scenario and rehearse as many times as required. Benefits includeserious debrief and saving of hours at sea for naval assets.Navies are aware of the benefits of simulation for training. They haveadopted this approach in many areas: from the operator basic training toteam building, from navigation to warfare skills.However collective training has still more on offer. It can improve the effi-ciency of several units together and specifically the well-known duo:frigate/corvette with its organic helicopter. Bridge and Ops Room, heli-copter pilot and tactical crew can practice together at will.Some of the challenges are:mastering a complex simulated environment under water and above waterfor air and naval unitsdeveloping advanced computer generated forces considering the relevantnaval doctrinegetting the right accuracy of sensors and effectors modelsensuring real time behaviorSuch collective simulated training is the icing on the cake of simulation. Itoffers the possibility to start directly at sea with the more complex trainingand to get into real-life operation more quickly and confidently. Definitelya bonus for top league navies!

Navigating Changing Human Roles in Future MaritimeSystems: A Storm WarningMr Sam Huf, Defence Science and Technology Group, AustraliaLife on board Maritime platforms is changing and in the near future maylook very different. This is because of increasing volumes of sensor dataand imagery from tactical systems, ship control systems, communicationssystems and even autonomous systems will necessarily need to be dealtwith by advanced in information integration technologies. The role of hu-mans is changing to more of a technology supervisor role. In order to nav-igate these driving issues, Australia’s Defence Science and TechnologyGroup is engaging local University and Industry players to better under-stand how the changing human role might impact crewing systems, designof control rooms, human computer interaction and human automation in-teraction in a range of activities from warfighting to potential changes inmaintenance and training approaches. This paperwill review the ongoingwork and discuss a strategy to embed research on the human role in on-going technology change.

MCMV Using a Sound MCM Toolbox to Allow for BothUnmanned and Dedicated MCMMr Christian Wornik, ATLAS ELEKTRONIK GmbH, GermanyFuture Naval Mine Countermeasures will undergo a transformation fromadedicated platform approach towards usage of unmanned off-board as-sets taken from the MCM toolbox. Ideally a which remains off the mine fielddeploys modular capability hubs of USV-like size carrying MCM assetswhich allow for a single-path-detect-to-engage task. Atlas composed suchset-up through combining its USV ARCIMS with the AUV SeaCat equippedwith a high resolution synthetic aperture sonar for detection and classifi-cation of small underwater objects. A smart automated target recognitionprocessing enables the system to continue in-situ decision making toppedoff by a subsequent launch of the mine identification and disposal systemSeaFox, operated from a remote command station. Besides sticking to theprinciple of keeping the man out of harms way the overall system designconsistently pursues the objective to stay highly efficient, i.e. highest clas-sification area coverage output per unit of time with lowest staffing.

Modular Architecture of Li-ion Batteries for Under WaterVehicle (UWV)Ms Jovika Nebhnani, Naval Group, IndiaLithium-ion is an attractive technology for UWV batteries: it is powerful,cost-efficient and easy to maintain.With their high energy content, Li-ion batteries composed of cells assem-bled inside a mechanical structure must be managed by a Battery Man-agement System (BMS) together with mandatory safety barriers in orderto ensure its complete safety.As a consequence, a comprehensive approach is necessary for Li-ion bat-tery design to take into account the scale factor and possible chain reac-tions, unobservable by definition on a single cell. Scaling-up from cells tobattery is a necessary approach for large-format batteries.Based on its long experience in energy sources, systems architecture andfunctional/safety qualification, Naval Group developed a secondary bat-tery for Heavy Weight Torpedo that could match with operational needsof new generation torpedoes.The rechargeable lithium-ion battery offers a real alternative to the ob-solescent silver oxide-zinc technology that no longer provides sufficientperformances to make realistic training.The HWT Li-ion battery developed by Naval Group offers great perfor-mances that allow submariners to train as they will fight. This battery hasbeen fully qualified at every level (cell, module, battery).Thanks to its provensafety, it is the first large Li-ion system embarked on-board nuclear sub-marines.The versatile design of this rechargeable battery is also compatible withvarious types of cells with different electro chemistries and power/energyratio. Performances can be adapted with the operational needs of the ap-plication; either power (speed) or energy (range) can be favored as andwhenever required.With this modular design and safe-proven architecture, whole range ofpower sources for a large variety of underwater vehicles (torpedo, movingtarget, UUV, etc…) is achievable with severely reduced development andqualification costs and time.

New Surface Coatings Solutions for Marine HydraulicComponents

Mr Richard Piola, Defence Science and Technology Group, AustraliaThis work focuses on advanced surface coatings developed for protectionof critical hydraulic machine components that are subjected to aggressivemarine operating conditions. Specifically, it relates to providing a superiorsolution to address the issues of corrosion and biofouling for shafts, pistonrods or spline components that are often partially or fully immersed instagnant seawater that often accelerates failures. The project started ata very early technology development stage that included laboratory test-ing to select the suitable candidate material and optimise the coating pro-cess using high velocity oxygen fuelled (HVOF) thermal spraying. This wasfollowed by a series of longer term field trials at several locations aroundthe Australian coast with different environmental conditions to assess thecorrosion, biofouling, surface roughness and hydraulic sealing perfor-mance of these novel single layer HVOF coatings. Twelve months of staticfield immersion exposures, as well as subsequent scaled prototype actu-ators tested in under water environments, showed no coating delamina-tion failures for both WC-NiCr or WC- Hastelloy®-based HVOF coatings.The biofouling rate of these HVOF coatings was 2-3 times less than thoseof a standard control coating. The surface metrology results also showedthat the surface roughness of these HVOF coatings did not vary signifi-cantly over the field testing trials and is within the specification require-ments of a functional hydraulic shaft. These two candidate coatings(WC–NiCr and WC–Hastelloy® C) are currently being tested in on-boardtrials.

A High-Power Spread Spectrum Ultrasonic Source forSignificantly Reducing In-Port BiofoulingMr. Alan Sassler, Extreme Sonar LLC, United StatesBiofouling is a significant issue for platforms in warm water ports. Althoughall platforms are protected by antifouling paints, these paints are muchless effective on stationary platforms, and problematic biofouling cansometimes occur in a matter of weeks. Remediation hull cleaning opera-tions are expensive and not completely effective, and biofouling residuedegrades the platforms hydrodynamics, reducing the platforms range andspeed and increasing its fuel consumption.Use of ultrasound to prevent biofouling isn’t new, but systems to date havefocused on protecting platforms by shaking the hull. While effective, thismethodology doesn’t scale well to large platforms, and there are signifi-cant costs associated with installing and maintaining these systems whichdwarf the initial purchase price.An alternative approach has been developed which uses concentratedbroadband ultrasonic energy focused near the surface to prevent biofoul-ing on surfaces at ranges of up to 100 meters from the source. This systemhas been shown to be effective in small scale testing and is now beingtested on a larger scale.While this system’s primary use is in preventing biofouling, it has also beenused as a continuous active spread spectrum source which when com-bined with a suitable receiver has been used for short range detection ofsubmerged marine mammals, divers, and UUVs.

Sustainable Ceramic Titanium as a Solution for the MaritimeIndustryMr Gene Skiba, NewSoTech AB, SwedenMeeting todays demands for better performance, increased operationaltime, and lower maintenance costs for maritime vessels and equipment, isa daunting task with even slower movement in the progression of techno-logical advancements. Corrosion, fatigue and friction are the primary chal-lenges to any vessel, structure, or undersea equipment.Innovative improvements to metals are providing alternatives to currentmetals. Titanium has been used in for some maritime components howeverit is usually discounted for cost or simply isn’t considered at all. However,recent advancements to titanium and the development of titanium ceram-ics have made huge differences in the sustainability of the metal, makingit more practical for a multitude of uses and, in the maritime environment,extending non-corrosion lifetimes by factors of five to ten.Today’s desire for more sustainable solutions to offset maintenance costsand reduce environmental impact has generated a new look into cost-ef-fective, wear resistant materials.Gene SkibaNewSoTech US

Captain (ret.) Bo Wallander

Developing Security for USVs in the Operational TheatreMs Natalie Fordham, ASV Global, United KingdomThe ability of unmanned surface vehicles (USVs) to deliver effect across amultitude of roles has increased significantly over the last 3 years with theadvancement of autonomous capability. Coupled with events such as Un-manned Warrior 16, there has been an increase in the appetite of naviesto adopt unmanned systems to fulfil operational tasks within the next 2-3years. However, while the sophistication of these systems is growing expo-nentially, are these unmanned vehicles ready for the operational environ-ment? Can the security of USVs, including security of hardware, controland data links, manage the threat from a peer adversary and will the legaloperating framework be robust enough to support the application of theseassets across the full spectrum of modern naval warfare? ASV Global, aworld leader in autonomous systems will explore these questions usingtheir own safety case history while looking to the future within the defencesector.

Systems Solutions for Transition towards Unmanned MineWarfareMr Lionel Collot, Thales, FranceIn the world of Mine Warfare systems, the main challenge for navies in thecoming years will be to manage the transition between conventional minehunters and unmanned solutions.Navies decided to switch towards unmanned systems will have to answerto following questions:-What are the architectures and systems we can deploy depending on thevarious use cases?-How do we make sure that unmanned solutions will be as efficient andreliable as legacy solutions?-Do we really get rid of putting men in the minefield?-How do we realize the appropriation of such solutions?-In a nutshell, how do we converge towards the expected level of confi-dence?In this objective, based on 50 years’ experience with key worldwide naviesexpert in Mine Warfare, and thanks to its involvement in major unmannedMW programmes, Thales have built a constructive, and modular approachand solution to answer the needs of Mine Warfare actors, whatever themission and context.With Pathmaster state-of-the-art solutions for unmanned mine warfare,Thales propose a confident and scalable answer to the above questions,securing the transition towards efficient and reliable unmanned MCM sys-tems.

Dr David Wyllie

Accelerating the Transition of Electroactive PiezoCrystalsDr. Lynn Ewart, Naval Undersea Warfare Center, United StatesPiezoelectric single crystals (piezocrystals) of lead magnesium niobate-lead titante (PMN-PT) and lead zinc niobate-lead titanate (PZN-PT) haveextremely large electromechanical coupling coefficients and exhibit strainsof over one percent. The technical significance of these properties to sonartransducers is enormous; it includes a doubling of bandwidth, decreasedpackage size, and increased resolution. As the materials have matured,the properties have been refined, and there are numerous compositionscommercially available. The exploitation of these piezocrystals is currentlyunderway in a wide range of applications from medical ultrasonics to navalsonar.To accelerate the maturation and use of piezocrystals, the Institute of Elec-trical and Electronics Engineers – Standards Association (IEEE-SA) pub-lished a material standard in 2017: The Standard for Relaxor-Based SingleCrystals for Transducer and Actuator Applications. This standard is theproduct of fruitful discussions between an international group of devicedesigners, crystal growers, and materials researchers from industry,academia, government, and non-profits organizations from nine countries.The scope and content of the standard were developed in discussions overmany years.This presentation will discuss the standard, ongoing development of ex-tensions to the standard, and a variety of naval sonar applications of thepiezocrystals.

Key Attributes of Submarine Sonar for High Performance inChallenging Environment and Current Strategic Context

35

Mr Marc Delorme, Thales Underwater Systems, FranceFor five years, the number of submarines in the world is increasing again,and few technical breakthroughs are expected to reshape the market dur-ing the next 20 years. The underwater detection system is a key feature inthis evolution of capabilities. The submarines operations, more and more,have to face challenging environmental conditions, moving in few hoursfrom deep ocean to shallow water, in very heterogeneous areas. The ratiosignal to noise is more and more demanding, as the ambient noise is in-creasing everywhere due to maritime lanes of communication and newmaritime activities and in the same time submarine threat more and morediscreet and stealthy. The sonar system will have to manage bigger andbigger acoustic surfaces, with more sensors, and an incredible data flowwhich will mean a new approach to solve the issue from the detection tothe decision. This will be allowed by the digital transformation on its way inmany domains. More and more the sonar has to be considered at the sys-tem level. It will definitively be mandatory to operate new submarines with-out any growth in number and qualification of the crew, assumingefficiency and safety. The architecture of the system has to be design toaccept continuous evolutions in the outboard and the inboard to cope withthe quick digital transformation loop and the cyber update requirement.Submarines are about to stay the most complex systems ever built by manduring the next decades

Anti-Submarine Warfare Sensor Suite: Meeting TheChallenge Of Complex Environments And Future ThreatsMr Sascha Wuerker, ATLAS ELEKTRONIK GmbH, GermanyWith the beginning of the 21st century the developments in underwaterwarfare and sonar systems shifted to interoperability, interconnection andthe combination of multiple sonar sensors, whether it be inboard or off-board. This is all driven by the development of modern conventional sub-marines, equipped with stealth capabilities and armed with moderntorpedoes. In addition, the operational areas of anti-submarine warfareshifted from blue water operations to littorals with warmer water and in-creased complexity in terms of detection probability of submarines. In re-sponse, surface ship systems have had to become much moresophisticated and capable in ASW. Modern integrated ASW suites incor-porate multiple sonar sensors such as long range VDS, high fidelity HMS,multi-function Towed Arrays (TAS), sonobuoys or even Unmanned Au-tonomous Vehicles (UAVs). All these sensors are connected and controlledby an ASW Control System (ASWCS) which integrates the data from allthe sonars, develops and manages the underwater picture, controls anddirects ASW weapons and decoys, monitors sonar performance and in-terfaces to the Combat Management System of the ship. This not only in-creases detection range and speeds up the detection/classificationprocess, but also provides greater deterrence potential than earlier sys-tems. The incorporated automation in an integrated ASW suite allows forfewer personnel onboard. This paper addresses the challenges inherent inthe complexities of underwater environments and the evolution of the ASWthreat. Due to proliferation of traditional submarines and the growingthreat of new underwater autonomous systems, the need to understandand manage the undersea operational domain is explained.

Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning and Robotics -Implications in Design, Manufacturing and ProductionMs Aparna O’Neal, Naval Undersea Warfare Center, United StatesArtificial Intelligence, Machine Learning and Robotics are key technologyareas that are discussed everywhere with significant investments beingmade across all industries and sectors. Several applications of these tech-nologies are already integrated in industry with notable results. The effectsare not only seen in increased efficiencies in processes and products butalso in the way they have fundamentally changed the various industry sec-tors to add significant value to the economies.This paper talks about the economic impacts produced by these technolo-gies and gains achieved in sectors where they are implemented. It then ex-plores some of the example functions such as design, manufacturing andproduction are being drastically changed/improved by AI, ML andRobotics. The impacts and key tenets are explored in some detail. Thepaper then talks about how these technologies can be integrated in thedefense sector for military applications, a couple of examples where theycould be used and a couple examples of ongoing efforts. The paper con-cludes with a brief summary of what challenges and roadblock exist for fullscale integration and adoption of these technologies in the defense sectorand suggested path forward.

Overlapping Claims in South China Sea: Essence of DecisionColonel (ret’d) Ramli H Nik, National Defense University, MalaysiaAbstractThe Overlapping Claims in South China Sea: Essence of DecisionbyColonel Ramli H Nik (R )Of immediate concern to the international community is the overlappingclaims in the South China Sea by the six claimants namely, Brunei, China,Malaysia, the Philippines, Vietnam, and Taiwan in pursuance to the exclu-sive economic zone (EEZ). This is accompanied by the strategic interest anda race for exploiting their sea-bed resources such as oil and gas to providea rapid pace of economic development to the claimant states.This paper analyses what are the options available to the claimantstatesto ensure the freedom of navigation and stability in the maritimedomain thereby strengthening security cooperation, and there is a needfor the essence of decision in promotingmaritime security confidence-building measures for economic development on sea resources. Four majoroptions will be considered. First, is to remain in status quo that is, wait andsee attitude, while the claimant states continued with their occupation ofthe islands or reef. The claimant states including China need to pursue onmultilateral basis on their overlapping claims to avoid military conflict inthe maritime domain, is the second option. The third option is to resolvethe issue, basing on the United Nations Convention on Law of the Sea1982, and abiding the decisions ofthe International Court of Justice ( ICJ).Finally, the claimant states should establish light foot-print of maritimepeacekeeping operations to perform two major tasks: (1) to detect andseize illegal activities; and (2) to maintain the security of sea-lanes of com-munication opened at all times as stipulated in the 1982 UNCLOS agree-ment. This option reflected the coastal states commitment to build upcredible deterrence capabilities against future state-centric and to combattrans-regional threats in the maritime domain. Therefore, the peacekeep-ing operation in the SCS is the political will of the claimant states.

37

In conclusion, the essence of decision is required by the claimant states inorder to monitor the situation, establish physical presence, and be pre-pared to respond. In this regard, peacekeeping has moved into new dimen-sion that is, in the maritime domain to ensure international peace andsecurity prevailed.

Presenting a Temporarily and Flexible Combat Suite forMerchant Ships and Smaller CraftCaptain (ret’d) Bo Wallander, SAAB, SwedenThe increasingly connected world has been subject to forces of globaliza-tion in a more or less continuous advancement of interconnectivity forages. Of late, the pace has quickened and complexity has challenged sta-bility across the economic and political arenas. More, longer and cheapertraveling for individuals and the proliferation of the Internet and e-com-merce fuels this dynamic with global consequences. The downsides are ofcourse transnational threats, eroding sovereignty porous, borders, illicittrade and piracy to name a few.All this calls for mobile resources that can deploy where current intelligenceindicates an illegal action is imminent. However, there is also a strong needto complement ordinary naval and coast guard resources with temporarycapabilities. A possibility to augment for example merchant ships withsurveillance resources like radars and in some circumstances adding Com-mand and Control and effectors of various kinds can be crucial for missionsuccess. These ships are often tasked with security related or humanitarianoperations where a risk free environment can no longer be guaranteed.More and more, commercially oriented platforms require systems that pro-vide situational awareness and local platform protection as their missionsets subject them to risk creep.This presentation will discuss and give some suggestions on how this couldbe accommodated.

Aspects of Submarine Design and Construction for theFutureDipl Ing Andreas Grunicke, thyssenkrupp Marine Systems, GermanyAndreas GrunickeHead of Project Designthyssenkrupp Marine SystemsIn a world of constant change, the established engineering and productionprocedures for submarine manufacturing are also not excluded from thesechanging processes.These global changing processes pose a steady challenge to the presentbut also to the future projects of thyssenkrupp Marine Systems.On the basis of current orders that have to be processed in a growingglobal context of collaboration, requirements as a challenge for futureneeds are identified at an early stage.As an example the currently popular topic Modularity may be mentioned.Used as vogue term today, it was applied successfully already manydecades ago in the development of new submarine classes. But as seenin present industrial surveys, there is still considerable room for improve-ment regarding the term ‘Modularity’The author shows how, already now, the implementation proceeds in re-gard to the increasing digitalisation of data and illustrates potential for fu-ture developments on the basis of several construction examples.

An Overview of the Integrated Platform PerformanceModelling Approach Used to Support the Australian FutureSubmarine ProgramMr Karl Slater, Defence Science and Technology Group, AustraliaDr John Wharington, Defence Science and Technology Group, Australia

Mr Mario Selvestrel, Defence Science and Technology Group, AustraliaAn integrated platform performance modelling approach has been devel-oped and is being used by Australia’s Defence Science and Technology(DST) Group to help to inform and support defence decision makers in Aus-tralia’s procurement of a future submarine.In the context of analysing modern conventional submarines, integratedplatform performance modelling is concerned with understanding the per-formance of the platform from a whole of system perspective. Of key im-portance are the interactions between the constraints placed on majorsubsystems within the submarine which must be captured if a set of co-hesive requirements is to be developed for this future platform.The novel integrated platform performance modelling approach has beendeveloped incrementally since 2010 in close conjunction with both Navyand the future submarine project office. The modelling approach and toolhave been used to provide objective quality evidence to key decision mak-ers through the early phases of this large capital project.The integrated platform performance modelling approach has been ableto analyse and assess platform performance whilst varying a number ofparameters including; concept of operations, different technology options,and specific mission parameters. The results of this modelling work haveallowed decision makers and capability development stakeholders to beprovided with evidence based advice to ensure that the implications andconsequences of requirements are fully understood.This paper provides an overview of the modelling framework and tools de-veloped at DST and its use in the future submarine program along withthe lessons learnt through adopting this approach. The future direction ofthe work program is also discussed.

Revolutionising Marine Data Collection Using AutonomousVessel TechnologyMs Natalie Fordham, ASV Global, United KingdomASV Global (ASV) has worked with the National Oceanography Centre inthe UK to develop a revolutionary solution for marine data collection. Thenewly manufactured Containerised Autonomous Marine EnvironmentalLaboratory (CAMEL) has been specifically developed for use in developingcountriesThis presentation will discuss the challenges involved in marine sciencedata collection for areas difficult to survey such as inshore and coastal wa-ters, particularly for developing nations.Specific focus will be on the recent delivery of the first of these systems tothe National Oceanography Centre (NOC) in the UK as part of the Com-monwealth Marine Economies (CME) programme, a UK funded pro-gramme which aims to support Commonwealth Small Island DevelopingStates (SIDS) develop and sustain marine economies by ensuring the ma-rine resources that belong to them are better understood and managed.This particular output of the project will be utilised by the CM delivery part-ners; namely, the NOC, the UK Hydrographic Office and the Centre for En-vironment, Fisheries and Aquaculture Science (Cefas) to map and monitorhydrographic, oceanographic and geophysical parameters as part of arange of high quality marine science data sets and providing valuabletraining as part of capacity building efforts.This advancement in technology provides a one-stop-shop for marinedata collection that can be easily transported and utilised across difficultareas to map across the world. It provides the potential for research insti-tutions and organisations to utilise a cost-effective solution that will coverall their operational and data needs, while reducing the difficulty of collec-tion.

AEGIS International Fire Control LoopMr. Peter Buckley, Lockheed Martin, United StatesSome navies that have either invested in or are interested in investing inAEGIS, have developed their own naval Combat Management Systems(CMS). These navies have also invested in the logistics infrastructureneeded to support the CMS. Lockheed Martin has packaged a develop-ment of a subset of the AEGIS Weapon System called the InternationalAEGIS Fire Control Loop (IAFCL). The IAFCL allows navies to obtain theworld class Anti-Air Warfare (AAW) capabilities of AEGIS while continuingto leverage the investment made in their own CMS. Now international

39

partners can utilize their own CMS subsytems: Anti-Submarine Warfare,Anti-Surface Warfare, Electronic Warfare, etc. and take advantage of theUnited States Navy’s investment in AEGIS AAW. The IAFCL software re-sides in the AEGIS Common Source Library, insuring the heritage of theAEGIS product. This presentation will describe the IAFCL and the stan-dardized interface developed to integrate with a National CMS.

Airborne Multi Role Platform - Peace, Crisis and WarCaptain (ret’d) Bo Wallander, SAAB, SwedenThroughout history maritime conflicts has predominantly occurred closeto the shore lines or as now more widely termed the littorals (green andbrown water). However, in the broad ocean areas (blue water) where theclutter is usually less there remains a demand for accurate surveillancepictures. To acquire and sustain a surveillance picture over time andthroughout the maritime space - a space that can contain threats to acountries security interests – one must consider the need for airborne sen-sors connected to Command and Control systems supported by agile, re-silient networks. The starting point in these considerations is the availabilityof a surveillance system that provides a navy ship commander situationalawareness beyond his own organic sensors and detecting threats andmanaging own forces disposition in his area of Responsibility.Saab Surveillance has taken a holistic view on surveillance through thenewly introduced Global Eye concept. This new joint perspective will max-imize your situational awareness and increase the probability of detection,tracking, mission success and survivability.The presentation will discuss the issues above and quickly introduce theGlobal Eye with some of its new features to support and complement thesituation picture for Commanding officers both at sea, on the ground andin the air.

Dr Hans-Dieter Ehrenberg

With HF XL, HF is backDr Pierre Krotoff, Thales, FranceHF is the historic long range bearer used by sailors at sea to communicatewith shore stations or ashore center of command.Sharing this part of RF spectrum with many users (not only sailors), the in-ternational regulation has limited the HF bandwidth to 3kHz, and, there-fore, the data rate of this RF media. Thus, in the best conditions, HF radiolinks, in this narrow band protocol, can be established up to 19kbps, whichis low comparing to satcom performances.Thales, a worldwide radio leader for Land, Air and Naval forces, has de-veloped with the French MOD a new standard of wideband HF based ona multi 3kHz channels link, transmitting in parallel within a 200kHz band-width. This new standard, called HF XL, delivers, at the same time:Resilience, because every 3kHz channel are continuously and dynamicallymonitored and adapted, thus ensuring permanent connectivity an d in-in-terrupted serviceSimplicity, because the ALE is really automatic and the station is opera-tional in less than 30 secondsHigh data rate, as it has been demonstrated during trials (100kbps@100NM with the sea wave, and around 80 kbps@800km with thesky wave).These performances open the door to new IP services such as chat, web,transfer of data and image.While the HF was decreasing in favor of satcom, even if more expensiveand less interoperable, this bearer with the HF XL protocol under Natostandardization process (STANAG 4539 appendix H), is re-entering in thenaval radio link panoply, contributing to the naval force connectivity.

45We stand for mature technology in naval shipbuilding, with close to 5,500employees in the Operating Units•Submarines•Surface Vessels•Naval Electronic Systems•ServicesOur experience and competence are also in the forefront of activities suchas repair and modernisation of submarines and surface vessels or devel-opment and integration of components.Marine Systems is world market leader in the field of non-nuclear sub-marines. We achieved a quantum leap in technology with the developmentof an air-independent propulsion system on the basis of fuel cells that per-form in silence without producing exhaust gases. Thanks to this technology,the submarines of HDW Classes 212A and 214 are able to operate fullysubmerged for significantly longer periods than comparable boats withconventional diesel-electric propulsion systems.Another core competence area is the development and design of ultra-modern frigates, corvettes and naval support vessels. The internationallyrecognised MEKO® technology stands for modular design and construc-tion of ships, reduced signatures and unsurpassed staying power and sur-vivability.Our Operating Unit Naval Electronic Systems (ATLAS Elektronik GmbH) –which belongs to Marine Systems since April 2017 – offers solutions in andon the water for both civil and military applications. ATLAS occupies aleading position in all sectors of top maritime technology, from commandand control systems including radio and communications equipment forsubmarines and surface vessels to mine-hunting systems, heavyweighttorpedoes, coastal protection installations and the provision of services.
