STATEMENT OF WORK (SOW)

Acoustic Augmentation Support Program (AASP)

Very Low Frequency (VLF) Transducer

1.0 Background

The Underwater Sound Reference Branch (Code 1531) of the Sensors and Arrays Division (Code 153) of the Naval Undersea Warfare Center Divisions Newport maintains the VLF transducer inventory to support PMS 415. The purpose of this contract is to provide new VLF transducers to support Acoustic Augmentation Support Program (AASP) system installations for the fleet. The AASP system is installed to provide a mechanism to meet a variety of fleet needs to include submarine crew tactics training, support for research and developmental tests to verify new sonar technologies, submarine acoustic security, and Non-Traditional Acoustic Communications (N-TAC). Very Low Frequency (VLF) transducers are used as the primary acoustic source for Low Frequency (LF) signal generation on SSN- 688, SSBN-726, and SSN-774 class submarines. The AASP system utilizes VLF transducers to cover the LF frequencies when installed on a submarine.
