CAPABILITY (MHPC)

UDT Presentation

by

Captain David Pollock Royal Navy29 May 2012

Autonomy the future of naval warfare


2/18

SCOPE

Introduction to RN MCM Hydrographicand Patrol Capability (MHPC)

Sensors

Technology shortfalls Effectors

Philosophical and Technological shortfalls

Command and Control

Autonom the future of naval warfare 1


3/18

MHPC

Replace several classes of ship with off-board sensors and effectors deployed fromnon specialist platforms

Predicated on gathering and exploitingMilitary data for Improved Situational Awareness

Better decision making

Operational Advantage Influencing events above the high water mark

Autonomy the future of naval warfare 2


4/18

SENSORS

Gather data for multiple uses

Use of interferometric processing of side scan

sonar to provide contact data for MCM and

bathymetry for charting Obtain maximum benefit from every ping

Energy

Batteries

AIP

Novel



5/18

LARGE DIAMETER UUVEndurance/On

Station Time(hours)

100-400 (90

days loiter)

Payload (cu-ft) ~30 + external

stores

Speed (knots) 2-7 (12 forASW)

Nominal

Displacement

(lbs)

20,000

In-Air Mast

Payload (lbs)

~100

Operating Depth TBD



6/18

DATA PROCESSING

Centralised or Distributed?

Data Volume vs bandwidth

Urgency of need for information

Trust and Assurance

The advantage of unpredictability

Autonomy and doctrine

How far can we trust

automatic target recognition?



7/18

MANTA MINE



8/18

SENSOR CHALLENGES

Energy storage /consumption

Autonomous data processing

Accurate position in time and space



9/18

SENSOR

Contribution to the network

Assured 3D location and time essential to

enable exploitation of a common picture

Safeguarding data security



10/18

EFFECTORS

Targeting Sea Mines

(predetermined firingalgorithm)

Automated selfdefensive weapons(target motion)

Fire and Forget (attacks

within pre-designatedarea)



11/18

EFFECTORS

Legal if:

Adequate discrimination to prevent non

combatant death

Autonomous targeting is not of itself

un-lawful

but it raises many questions to be tested!

EFFECTORS

Non Kinetic Utility

Deceptive techniques to confuse and

disrupt

COMMAND AND CONTROL

Potential for sensors to operate well

beyond the location of the delivering

platform

Remote Control via satellite link

The future role of mission command

Impact on the moralcomponent
