  1. AMN Experimentation 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 CONOPS 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.

  17. AMN MISSIONS AT TW10 • Griffin / AMN will participate in TW10, 7-11 June in the SOCAL OPAREA during the TW10 MDA initiative demonstration period. Two missions will be conducted. Each mission will be repeated on consecutive days to ensure adequate data is collected. • Mission 1: 09-1500 local 7 June & 09-1500 8 June • Mission 2: 10-1400 local 9 June & 10-1400 10 June • 11 June is backup day: weather / mechanical

  18. MISSION DETAILS – Mission 1 • Fixed OPAREA patrol and goalkeeper / blocker for expeditionary base (6 hours) • Demonstrate harbor patrol activity • Persistent surface surveillance, as a subset of ISR • Real-time tactical picture with usable data for situational awareness and tactical responses • Blocking and deterring behavior

  19. MISSION DETAILS – Mission 2 • High value asset (HVA) littoral escort in a choke point area (4 hours) • Demonstrate escort capability • Exhibit roles in choke point area while escorting • Real-time tactical picture with usable data for situational awareness and tactical responses • Blocking and deterring behavior

  20. TW 10 Cooperative Harbor Patrol Blocking Behavior Plan - Original (Goalkeeper)

  21. Initial Positions – One USV patrolling outer area, one in goal area

  22. Intruder - Nearest USV blocks. If in outer area, patrolling USV blocks.

  23. Intruder - Nearest USV blocks. If Intruder is nearest to Goalkeeper USV, then ‘Goalie’ blocks and patrolling USV moves to ‘Goalie’ position.

  24. If two Intruders, both USV’s block in goal box.

  25. TW 10 Cooperative Harbor Patrol Blocking Behavior Plan - Optional

  26. Initial Positions – Spaced evenly within the Security Area Shore- Protected Area

  27. Intruder enters - Closest USV moves to block (hold position 200m closer to Shore than Intruder), Untasked USV moves to Center Shore- Protected Area

  28. Second Intruder enters – Untasked USV moves to block, Second USV continues to block Shore- Protected Area

  29. USV’s continue to block until their Intruder leaves the area Shore- Protected Area

  30. Once USV’s are free, they return to Center Point (if one free) or equally spaced points (if both free) Shore- Protected Area

  31. TW 10 Cooperative HVU Escort transiting Choke Point Behavior Plan

  32. Column formation for channel transit, hold 200m distances for leader and follower (no blocking)

  33. Upon channel exit, Escort USV’s assume line abreast formation (3 and 9 o’clock positions) at 200m

  34. When Intruder approaches within 500m of HVU, nearest USV moves to block (keeps 200m distance from HVU), untasked USV moves opposite

  35. When two Intruders approach within 500m of HVU, both USV’s block (still maintaining 200m from HVU)

  36. TW 10 Playbook for Fixed Oparea Patrol Mission

  37. Initial Morning Setup North HVU GK E W P A2 A = Aggressor Boat GK = Goalkeeper P – Patrol A1 South

  38. Run Alpha – A1 enters, P blocks; A2 enters, GK blocks in secure area; A1 departs box, A2 retires and stays in outer box causing GK to move out of secure area and continue blocking which transitions P to GK North HVU GK #4 #3 E W A2 P #5 #2 #6 A1 #1 A = Aggressor Boat GK = Goalkeeper P – Patrol South

  39. Run Bravo – A2 enters box, GK moves to block and causes P to transition to GK; A1 enters and new GK (old P) blocks inner secure area; A2 retires; A1 retires North HVU GK E #1 W A2 P #3 #2 #4 A1 A = Aggressor Boat GK = Goalkeeper P – Patrol South

  40. Initial Afternoon Setup North HVU GK E W P A2 A = Aggressor Boat GK = Goalkeeper P – Patrol A1 South

  41. Run Charlie– A1 enters, P blocks; A2 enters, GK blocks; A1 departs box, A2 retires and stays in outer box causing GK to move out of secure area and continue blocking which transitions P to GK North HVU #6 GK #4 E W P #3 A2 #5 #2 #1 A1 A = Aggressor Boat GK = Goalkeeper P – Patrol South

  42. Run Delta– A2 enters box, GK moves to block and causes P to transition to GK; A1 enters and new GK blocks inner secure area; A2 retires; A1 retires North HVU #1 GK A2 E W #3 P #4 #2 A1 A = Aggressor Boat GK = Goalkeeper P – Patrol South
