Navy Unmanned Surface Vehicle (USV) Master Plan

摘要

The Unmanned Surface Vehicle (USV) Master Plan was chartered by the Program Executive Office for Littoral and Mine Warfare (PEO(LMW)). It provides the guide for USV development to effectively meet the Navy's strategic planning and fleet objectives and the force transformation goals of the Department of Defense (DoD) to the year 2020. Plan development was built on the results from Workshops conducted at the Naval War College and the Fleet ASW Training Center in late 2004 and early 2006, respectively, with major analysis, synthesis, and development efforts being conducted by a USV Master Plan Core Team. The USV Master Plan has the following objectives: to define USV capabilities for the near, mid and far terms; to establish levels of performance and USV 'classes' aligned with capabilities; to evaluate technology needs to assess current readiness and recommended future investments.
