| | Unsolicited White Papers - Research and Development Program | 07 Aug 2019 | 30 Jun 2020 | |
| | |
| Industry is able to develop at-risk an unsolicited white paper for consideration by the FSP-CSI R&D Program. The R&D topic may be derived by industry but is recommended to be in alignment with one of the research areas identified in the R&D program pathway document.
Prior to developing an unsolicited white paper, please consider the following:
- The unsolicited white paper will not be funded by the FSP-CSI R&D Program.
- A delay may be experienced given the administrative burden involved with out of cycle proposals.
- The FSP-CSI R&D Program may reject the white paper if not in alignment with the program.
- The FSP-CSI R&D Program has the authority to use the high-level idea (not the proposed research) as a topic for broader industry response as part of the standard pathway.
For further information refer to the R&D program pathway document on the ICN page or contact the program. |

Novel methods to improve the automated detection and tracking of passive acoustic contacts.
This R&D activity seeks to improve and ideally automate the passive acoustic localisation (range and bearing) of contacts from a moving host including low signal to noise ratio scenarios. The goals include identifying novel methods to reduce the time from sensor to ear, increase the sensitivity of detection, and improve the accuracy of localisation. The R&D should consider different levels of background noise, the changing propagation environment, and other effects pertaining to host vessel motion. |

An investigation into novel methods and technologies for high resolution surveys.
This R&D activity will explore novel methods and technologies relevant to high resolution underwater surveys focussing on improved situational awareness for surfacing submarines and precision navigation in shallow waters. The aim is to provide improvements in: resolution/distortion; operational depth and area of coverage; and storage and processing performance. The host vessel / submarine may be stationary or moving and there is no assumption of on-board versus off-board systems. Techniques to explore could include but are not to be limited to mosaicing, Structure from Motion (SFM), and photogrammetry. |

Novel methods to improve the optical detection, recognition and identification of above water objects using near sea surface sensors.
This R&D activity seeks to identify novel methods and technologies that improve, ideally via the use of automating, aspects of the detection, recognition and identification of above water objects utilising the sensors mounted in a submarine\'s periscope, however, other novel covert methods should also be considered. The objective is to improve performance under challenging sea-air boundary conditions. Proposed methods must be cognisant of detectability, as well as Size, Weight and Power (SWAP). The R&D may consider enhancements to systems and sensors, and incorporation of state of the art technologies in terms of machine vision/cognition. |

Methods and technologies to improve communications with and between submarines.
The aim of this R&D activity is to identify methods and technologies that improve the performance of external submarine communications, both underwater to other submerged units, and to surface units consistent with the idea of a networked fleet. The dimensions of performance include bandwidth, throughput, range, error, error resilience, and latency. The research may include quantum techniques and explore burst communications. Proposed solutions must also be cognisant of detectability, as well as Size, Weight and Power (SWAP). |

The identification of novel operational concepts associated with the use of uninhabited and autonomous systems by a submarine.
Uninhabited and Autonomous Systems (UxV) are rapidly emerging technologies with a potential to provide operational benefits for submarines. This R&D activity is to identify novel operational concepts related to the use of UxVs by submarines. The research can consider solutions for both recoverable and disposable systems that vary in size consistent with existing submarine ejection systems, such as torpedo tubes, signal ejectors, and payload bays. The objective is to identify operational scenarios and benefits in the use of UxVs, as well as areas where further research and development may be required. The research may also consider operational methods that support the control of multiple UxV systems through supervisor \'on-the-loop\' technologies. |

Improving the performance of video communications for use between a submarine and rescue forces.
This R&D activity is to investigate how to improve the performance (such as bandwidth, range and latency) of video communications between a submarine and rescue forces in the event of an emergency. The R&D should consider a variety of undersea environments, and a variety of emergency scenarios. The R&D will need to explore the art of the possible with the communications link as well as be cognisant of the Size, Weight and Power (SWAP) issues. |
| | FSP-CS-RT-9 Improved performance of bathymetric probes | | | |
| |
| Full scope has been awarded to:An investigation into methods and technologies for improving the performance of submarine launched bathymetric probes.
This R&D activity is to investigate how to improve the performance of submarine launched bathymetric probes with respect to their operating speed, accuracy, and operator confidence in their use. Proposed solutions must also be cognisant of detectability, existing submarine ejection systems (e.g. signal ejectors) as well as Space, Weight and Power and Cooling (SWAP-C). |
