This is a torpedo development program designed to advance Common Broadband Advanced Sonar Systems, Advanced Processor Builds, and Torpedo Technology Insertion. This program is working on being able to add COTS components to rapidly upgrade the torpedo. most of the world’s diesel-electric submarines operate in water less than 600 ft. Improving weapons algorithms can give significant performance improvements. APB5 and APB5+ software upgrades are in process as of February 2018. The APB6/TI-1 upgrades continue the development of fiber-optic communications.
