USS Mississippi submarine in final stages
MERIDIAN -- All submariners -- active, discharged and retired -- living in Mississippi are being encouraged to answer the call back to duty in anticipation of commissioning of the USS Mississippi (SSN-782), the newest nuclear-powered fast-attack submarine undergoing final construction.
The United States Submarine Veterans’ Tullibee Base in Biloxi is the catalyst for the proposed commissioning in Gulfport in spring 2012. The USS Mississippi, the fifth American warship named after the Magnolia State, is being built in Groton, Conn. It is a Virginia-class submarine that is 377 feet long with a 34-foot diameter, and will displace 7,800 tons. It will have a crew of 134 officers and crew. The Virginia-class nuclear submarines are designed for open-ocean and near-shore missions.

US Littoral Combat Ship: Far Off Budget
Procurement costs for the LCS program significantly increased.
CBO estimates LCS dual award plan will exceed budgeted amount by far Contractor low-balling and misplaced confidence in U.S. defense procurement estimates have found another victim: the Littoral (close to shore) Combat Ship (LCS). The FY 2012 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) passed by the House grants more than $2 billion requested by the Navy for the LCS. This includes approximately $1.8 billion for the building of four new LCSs and $286 million for research and development.
On December 9, 2010, POGO wrote a letter to the Senate Armed Services Committee [1] opposing the Navy’s plan to change its LCS acquisition strategy without providing time for meaningful congressional consideration. Originally, two distinct LCS designs were created—one by a team led by Lockheed Martin and the other by a General Dynamics-led team. In this “down-select strategy,” adopted in 2009, these two teams would vie to create the optimal LCS design and then, with one optimal design in hand, another bidding competition would be held to build 19 more ships. The new acquisition strategy, however, awards the two different LCS design teams a ten-ship contract each, and effectively blocks out all other shipbuilders from competing to build the LCS.
This strategy was adopted in spite of the Congressional Budget Office's (CBO’s) finding that it would ultimately cost $740 million more than the down-select plan.[2]
A Congressional Research Service (CRS) report also noted that “Managing the construction of two very different LCS designs could place increased demands on overall Navy program management capacities…factors that might increase the chances of program-management challenges in the LCS program or of the Navy not detecting in a timely manner construction-quality problems that might occur in one or both LCS designs.”[3]
But those aren’t the only drawbacks to the new plan: It is also highly doubtful that LCS funding for fiscal year 2012 will actually lead to the building of all four ships. Originally, the Navy estimated that each ship would cost $220 million. Just five years later, the Navy expects each ship to cost more than double this amount, and just last year the Navy spent more than a billion dollars on the procurement of just two littoral combat ships. In fact, no LCS has been built for less than $500 million.[3]
The CBO estimates [2] that these four ships, built under the dual award plan, will cost a total of $2.29 billion ($572.5 million per ship), or more than $400 million more than has been budgeted. Yet, the House acquiesced to the Navy’s faulty LCS cost projections and continues to be low-balled by defense contractors that lock in immense procurement efforts with artificially low initial bids. The Senate should not be similarly duped when it authorizes funding for the LCS.

U.S. Navy Needs Diesel Submarines
The U.S. Navy faces a fundamental dilemma: It needs more submarines, but the overall defense budget required to build those submarines is headed south. How should it square this circle? The answer is that the Navy should procure a fleet of diesel-powered subs. Not only are diesels cheaper than nuclear-powered subs, but they have the advantage of being better platforms for many of the tasks the Navy faces today. The demand for attack submarines is both quantitative and qualitative. Over the past two decades, for example, China has added more than 40 new submarines. Although they are not equivalent to ours, they still need to be tracked - and that takes numbers. Meanwhile, the list of actual and potential submarine missions, including close-in intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance, special operations, and blockade and mining, continues to grow. These growing operational demands are coupled with the exigencies of new undersea requirements. In addition to the deep-sea dives and prolonged blue-water missions that became the staple of submarine operations during the Cold War, there are a number of scenarios today that are focused on the littoral areas, the green water within 100 miles of land, be they in the strait of Hormuz or Malacca, off the shores of Taiwan or in the South China Sea. It is these missions that often favor diesel submarines. Diesel subs are smaller, stealthier and more maneuverable in tight spaces than nuclear submarines. For example, unlike a nuclear submarine's power plant, a diesel's primary engine can be turned off when submerged, reducing noise emission. Indeed, unlike a nuclear-powered submarine, a modern diesel can hide on the ocean's floor, deadly silent, while monitoring whatever passes over and around it. And with the advent of Air Independent Propulsion (AIP) technology, today's diesel subs can remain submerged for weeks at a time. When deployed to bases in the Far East or Middle East, the range and reach of today's AIP-equipped diesels would put them well within striking distance of critical choke points. And, using the recent sale price of Germany's Type 212 subs to Turkey as a point of reference - approximately $500 million versus the $2 billion for a Virginia-class nuclear attack submarine - the Navy would be able to ramp up submarine production without breaking the bank. The U.S. Navy is not ignorant of the advantages of diesel subs. Time and again, American naval crews have struggled to detect their diesel-electric "foes" at sea. Over the past two years, for example, Peruvian and Chilean diesels have made life extremely tough for the U.S. in naval exercises. Nor is this new; in a joint training exercise in 2005, a Swedish AIP-outfitted Götland-class sub scored a "strike" on the carrier Ronald Reagan. And, most famously, in 2006 a Chinese Song-class diesel submarine surfaced undetected within striking distance of the carrier Kitty Hawk off Japanese waters. Building diesel submarines in the U.S. has other advantages as well. There is a growing global market for diesel submarines among allies and partners and it's work U.S. shipyards certainly could use. In addition, having diesels in the fleet provides an in-house training tool for anti-submarine warfare efforts against other nations' diesels. It is useful to remember that Russia and China have successfully incorporated both diesel and nuclear submarines into their force structure. Of course, the U.S. Navy has been dead set against building anything but nuclear-powered submarines for a half-century now. Indeed, one reason the offer of a sale of eight diesel submarines to Taiwan made by President George W. Bush in 2001 has never gotten off the ground is because the Navy brass has feared that any diesel construction in the U.S., even if strictly for foreign sales, might open the door to Congress asking, "Why not for our own fleet?" In addition to the decades-old, Rickover-induced inertia, the new excuse for not building diesels is the claim that the missions that diesels might usefully perform can be handled with unmanned underwater vehicles (UUVs). Why build a new class of submarine when UUVs attached to nuclear submarines can carry out those tasks? But while UUVs are a promising idea, "promising" is the key here. Significant questions pertaining to speed, payload, sensors and communication remain. In what was billed as Defense Secretary Robert Gates' valedictory policy speech at the American Enterprise Institute on May 24, he noted that "more and more money is consumed by fewer and fewer platforms," and that, in the future, the department's "guiding principle … must be to develop technology and field weapons that are affordable, versatile, and relevant to the most likely and lethal threats in the decades to come." That's a spot-on assessment as to why the U.S. Navy needs diesel submarines.

AARGM completes first test on Growler
NAVAL AIR SYSTEMS COMMAND, PATUXENT RIVER, Md. -- The Navy’s Advanced Anti-Radiation Guided Missile (AARGM) successfully completed its first test on the EA-18G Growler in China Lake, Calif. May 25.
A combined government/industry team conducted the EA-18G captive carry flight test in parallel with the ongoing AARGM Integrated Test & Evaluation phase on the FA-18 C/D aircraft.
Captive carry tests are simulated launches where the weapon stays on the aircraft. The team gathers information from sensors on the weapon to evaluate AARGM performance.
“AARGM is a very capable weapon performing a complex mission. VX-31 and VX-9 have done a superb job of carrying and testing the weapon on FA-18C/Ds as well as Super Hornets,” said Cmdr. Chad Reed, deputy program manager for Anti-Radiation Missiles within the Direct and Time Sensitive Strike program office (PMA-242). “AARGM has the potential to be a superb compliment, a force multiplier, in fulfilling current Growler missions.”
A complement to the existing AGM-88C High-speed Anti-Radiation Missile (HARM), AARGM provides the warfighter with a supersonic, air-launched tactical missile to be carried on the FA-18C/D, and Italian Air Force Tornado electronic countermeasures/reconnaissance aircraft.
“AARGM has demonstrated a much greater accuracy than our existing HARM inventory in striking hostile emitters,” Reed added. “The weapon is specifically designed to increase our warfighting capabilities in neutralizing enemy air defenses and will provide aircrews with an additional tool for the electronic attack mission.”
According to Reed, the successful integration of AARGM with the EA-18G on this milestone first flight, as well as with F/A-18E/F aircraft bodes well for the success of the program. AARGM has already flown more than 175 flight hours since November 2010, including 25 hours on Super Hornet and Growler aircraft.

Raytheon Joint Standoff Weapon C-1 Completes Captive-Flight Test Series
JSOW C-1 will be the first networked air-launched, anti-ship weapon in U.S. inventory
The U.S. Navy completed a series of captive-flight tests on Raytheon Company's Joint Standoff Weapon C-1, putting the warfighter one step closer to gaining a net-enabled standoff weapon with moving maritime target capability.
JSOW is a family of low-cost, air-to-surface weapons that employs an integrated GPS-inertial navigation system and terminal imaging infrared seeker and guides the weapon to the target. JSOW C-1 adds a moving maritime target capability and a two-way strike common weapon datalink to the combat-proven weapon.
"These tests pave the way for a JSOW C-1 free-flight test later this year," said Phyllis McEnroe, Raytheon's JSOW program director. "JSOW C-1 is the only air-launched weapon in production that enables the warfighter to engage moving ships over the horizon, and it's approved for export."
Conducted on an F/A-18 E/F Super Hornet, the tests demonstrated the weapon's ability to detect and track moving targets, provide in-flight updates, re-target in flight, and handoff in-flight control to a third party source.
"Accurately striking moving maritime targets using standoff weapons is a critical warfighter capability," said Lt. Cdr. Samuel Hanaki, U.S. Navy's Precision Strike Weapons program office. "When JSOW C-1 reaches initial operational capability in 2013, the warfighter will have an air-launched, net-enabled weapon that gives them greater effectiveness at sea and in the littorals."

US Navy Discovers Corrosion on New Austal LCS
The US Navy has discovered 'aggressive' corrosion in the first new littoral combat ship (LCS), USS Independence, built by Austal subsidiary Mobile and General Dynamics. Bloomberg reported the US Navy as saying that the corrosion in the propulsion areas of the aluminum-hulled ship will require permanent repair and drydocking of the ship till next year. The corrosion marks another set back to the $37.4bn LCS programme, according to which the US Navy will procure 55 ships. Austal was awarded a $465m contract that could value $3.78bn if all options are exercised, for constructing ten LCS for the US Navy. The LCS are being designed to operate closer to shore and to conduct missions that include clearing mines, hunting submarines and providing humanitarian relief.
