Detection Avoidance System for Submarines (DASS) Navy STTR FY2014.A Sol No.: Navy STTR FY2014.A Topic No.: N14A-T016 Topic Title: Detection Avoidance System for Submarines (DASS) Proposal No.: N14A-016-0077 Firm: Daniel H. Wagner, Associates, Incorporated 559 West Uwchlan Avenue Suite 140 Exton, Pennsylvania 19341-3013 Contact: W. Monach Phone: (757) 727-7700 Web Site: www.wagner.com Abstract: In this project, we will develop innovative and advanced display and processing techniques, and innovatively combine existing algorithms, software, and systems, to create a Detection Avoidance System for Submarines (DASS) that assists the submarine operator, planner, and commanding officer (CO) in minimizing the probability that a submarine penetrating into and operating within an A2/AD zone will be detected by threat ASW assets, or, in the case of an attack mission, minimizing the probability of being detected by the threat target before successfully attacking the target. In particular, DASS will assist the friendly submarine operator to select optimal operating modes and/or: (1) Penetration routes into an A2/AD zone or transit routes within an A2/AD zone (2) Patrol areas that allow the submarine to accomplish its mission successfully within an A2/AD zone while remaining undetected. Benefits: We feel that DASS will significantly improve the military effectiveness of submarine mission planning and execution, especially in A2/AD zones, by minimizing the vulnerability of friendly submarines during both transit and patrol operations.
