1. Trident Warrior ‘10

2. Trident Warrior 2010 (TW10) OVERVIEW TRIDENT WARRIOR (TW) is the premier annual FORCEnet Sea Trial Fleet experimentation event that executes a series of operational experiments involving fleet assets (at sea and ashore). TW provides the Navy with a quality venue to experiment with technologies in a maritime environment that could potentially provide near-term solutions to enhance warfighting capabilities and fill capability gaps. Ultimately, TW is designed to accelerate the delivery of new/improved capabilities to the warfighter through Program of Record (POR) acceleration or transition of new technologies into PORs. AMN TW10 CONOP S NECC is sponsoring AMN to assess and demonstrate improved C3 capabilities, situational awareness, and force protection for its Echelon IV units. MSRON-3 C2 Det will set up a MAST tent with associated SHF communications gear that will integrate with the Joint Expeditionary C3 (JEC3) system to correlate multiple sensor inputs – on land and at sea - and produce a robust common operational picture. Autonomous Maritime Navigation (AMN) system which will be conducting surveillance missions in the San Diego Bay OPAREA in the vicinity of Point Loma/North Island.

3. AMN TW 10 Objectives Overarching Objective: Demonstrate autonomous flexibility by converting a standard Navy RHIB into an autonomous USV capable of cooperative autonomy in order to provide persistent surveillance and relevant information to the expeditionary commander via an adhoc expeditionary WAN. Sub-objectives Demonstrate multiple USVs are capable of accomplishing assigned mission(s) by executing flexible and sufficient cooperative autonomy mission behaviors Demonstrate autonomous USVs can provide persistent surveillance and locate, identify and track contacts in accordance with assigned mission. Demonstrate an autonomous USV capable of providing relevant, timely and accurate information to the expeditionary EC3 via an adhoc expeditionary WAN. Demonstrate the flexibility of AMN sensor and autonomous capability by converting a standard Navy RHIB into an autonomous USV.

4. OPERATIONAL NEED Objective: Transition AMN autonomous control system module and multi-purpose sensor system for Navy Expeditionary Combat Command (NECC) autonomous USV operations (solo or cooperative) using existing and purpose built small boat inventory. Value to Warfighter: Persistent ISR capability with no risk to personnel, reduction in required manpower and bandwidth costs over remote control operations. PROPOSED SOLUTION Technology: NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) robotics technologies and advanced algorithms for autonomous platform systems management, operation, and navigation, operational software and COTS/GOTS portable sensors. Partners: NASA JPL, Marshall University, NSWCCD Carderock, OSD OFT, Spatial Integrated Systems Similar Related products: No similar known fully autonomous USV. Many remote controlled, man in the loop USVs under development. CAPABILITIES Full autonomous capability for any Unmanned Surface Vessel (USV) enabled by an adaptable sensor module and an autonomy and fusion module - Flexible Modules: Variable sensor mix and ruggedized container sizes - Can make any vessel a USV in days Use existing boat inventories Adapt sensors and autonomous behaviors to fit operational needs

11. Fixed Oparea Patrol Mission with Gatekeeper Mission: AMN “A Fixed area patrol Detect, track and report AMN B will track and block any Intruder in gatekeeper box AMN A & B will swap missions via cooperative autonomy based on tactical situation 6 hour missions on 7 and 8 June Objectives: Persistent surveillance Cooperative autonomy Feed real time CTP at JEC3 Track and Block Detect, track and Report Expeditionary Base / JEC3 A B Gatekeeper

12. High Value Unit (HVU) Escort Mission Mission: AMN A and B escort HVU via an open ocean and chokepoint transit AMN A and B will track and block any intruder coming within 500 yds of HVU but 1 AMN must remain with HVU at all times AMN A and B will swap missions as tactical situation detects i.e 1 AMN will intercept while second AMN continues escort and when intercept and blocking complete, AMN rejoin escort mission Escort missions run on 9 and 10 June A B HVU
