Hammerhead Program

Title: Request for Proposal: Hammerhead Program

Description(s): Offerors are notified that the Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) Program Executive Office Unmanned and Small Combatants (PEO USC), Mine Warfare Program Office (PMS 495) is hereby issuing a competitive Request for Proposal (RFP).  Hammerhead is a moored-torpedo variant mine system for intermediate to deep depths that has the capability to detect, classify, and defeat Anti-Submarine Warfare (ASW) targets. The effector is a MK 54 lightweight torpedo which is released to acquire and engage ASW targets. The conceptual physical configuration consists of a capsule module (to include the effector), a mooring module, an energy module, a sensor module, a command, control, signal processing and decision module, and a communications module; as well as associated support facilities and equipment and shipping containers.

The system is conceptually designed to be organic and modular; minimum modular components include the capsule module, energy module, mooring module, and the effector.  The effector is a non-developmental item that the Hammerhead program will integrate with rest of the mine system to provide the required capability.  Hammerhead will be deployed by an unmanned underwater vehicle to provide overt or clandestine standoff delivery of multiple mines.
