NDIA Phase 3 SUW Study Goals in Support of N76 Assess the 2012 period to keep pace with the evolving SUW threats by: Particular emphasis on the littoral asymmetric SUW threat Preventing the saturation of a ship s force protection systems. Concentrate on the ship s SUW mission area as an interactive Element of Force-level & Ship Family-of-Systems Particular attention given to capability gaps related to : Identification of the optimum weapons mix, on a force and platform-level basis, for defeating SUW threats in confined waterways and harbors with minimum collateral damage. The need for a progressive asymmetric threat response (ranging from non-lethal to lethal); including defense against shore-launched as well as surface-launched rockets, artillery, and mortars during SUW engagements.

USS COLE SRG Survivability - the capability of the ship to absorb damage and maintain mission integrity. (Ref: OPNAVINST 9070) The principle subsets of survivability are susceptibility, vulnerability, and recoverability. Susceptibility - the capability of the ship to avoid and or defeat an attack. Vulnerability - the capability of the ship to withstand the initial damage effects from threat weapons (asymmetric, conventional or nuclear/chemical/biological) or accidents, and to continue to perform assigned primary warfare missions, and protect the crew from serious injury or death. Recoverability - the capability of the ship, after initial damage effects, to take emergency action to contain and control damage, prevent loss of a damaged ship, minimize personnel casualties, and restore and sustain primary mission capabilities. Detection and Classification Self-Defense Hark Kill (HK) Soft Kill (SK) * Countermeasures * Electronic Attack * Tactics/ROE HK/SK Integration Weapons Effects on Ship Primary Damage * Fragmentation * Blast * Shock and Whipping * Flooding Secondary Damage * Progressive Flooding * Fire * Smoke Cascading Damage Crew Causalities Contain Damage Prevent Loss of the Ship Treat and Evacuate Crew Casualties Repair and Reconfigure Equipment/Systems Continue to Fight PMS 480, Anti-Terrorism Afloat 19
