The U.S. Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) has
awarded BAE Systems a $4.6 million contract for its Mobile Offboard
Clandestine Communications and Approach (MOCCA) program. The MOCCA
program’s goal is to enable submarines to detect other submerged
vessels at greater distances, while minimizing the risk of
counter-detection.

“Advances in maritime technology are critical to the Department
of Defense and an area where the U.S. military can continue to
strengthen its advantage,” said Geoff Edelson, director of Maritime
Systems and Technology at BAE Systems. “With the resurgence of
near-peer competitors and an increasing number of submarines, MOCCA
technology will provide Navy submariners with a vital asymmetrical
advantage against a rapidly proliferating undersea threat.”
To meet the MOCCA program’s ambitious Phase 1 goals, BAE
Systems’ researchers will design efficient sonar capabilities to
maximize detection range and improve target identification and
tracking.
The MOCCA program demonstrates BAE Systems’ strength in
innovation and its capability to design technologies for future
combat scenarios. The research and development team at BAE Systems
regularly works closely with DARPA and other defense research
institutes to create and deliver capabilities that improve the
competitive advantages of the U.S. armed forces.
