PEO-M leads six PMOs: Surface Systems, Undersea Systems, NSW (PMS340), Undersea Special Mission Systems (PMS390), SOF Combat Diving (SOF CD), and Maritime Technology Office (MTO). The portfolio develops, provides, and sustains surface and undersea, crewed and uncrewed, maritime mobility solutions. Maritime’s success includes the delivery of one Small Class Unmanned Underwater Vehicle (UUV) System, three SEAL Delivery Vehicle (SDV) MK 11s, and the Dry Combat Submersible (DCS) achieving IOC and reaching FOC on SOF CD Hands-Free equipment.

SURFACE PORTFOLIO: This portfolio consists of the Combatant Craft Assault (CCA), Combatant Craft Medium (CCM), Combatant Craft Heavy (CCH), Special Operations Craft Riverine (SOCR), Combatant Craft Mission Equipment (CCME), Maritime Precision Engagement (MPE), and Command, Control, Computers, Communication, Cyber, Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (C5ISR) programs. The CCA became FOC. The CCM completed nine craft overhauls and continued C5ISR integration. The CCH awarded the C-17 Transporter production contract, delivering transportation capability enabling FOC. The SOCR completed five craft overhauls. The MPE successfully tested the munition, launcher, and Battle Management System (BMS). The Combatant Craft Forward Looking Infra-Red (CCFLIR) is now installed on CCMs, CCH, and planned for CCA craft.

UNDERSEA PORTFOLIO: This portfolio consists of the Dry Deck Shelter (DDS), DCS, SDV, UUV, SOF CD, and the Undersea Craft Mission Equipment (UCME) programs. The DDS is a joint USSOCOM-Navy modernization effort for one DDS to increase the payload capacity. The Undersea Systems achieved a CF&DR and IOC. The SDV MK 8 is in sustainment with a phased replacement by SDV MK 11 continuing production. Six MK 18 Mod 1 UUV vehicles completed SOF-Peculiar mods and two UUV systems delivered with SOF-Peculiar mods in FY23. To date, six long endurance (LE) Uncrewed Surface Vehicles (USVs) delivered. The SOF CD completed five Operational Testing of Individual and collective propulsion systems, prototyping efforts of Excursion-Underwater Breathing Apparatuses and a Closed-Circuit Oxygen Rebreather system, and a final Development Testing on divers’ communication system.

MTO: The CCME delivered five CCM Aft Bimini Covers, two Systems, one CCM Universal Launch and Recovery System, one CCM Arresting System, and a Graphic Unit Interface supporting Command, Control Communications, Computers, Cyber Defense and Combat Systems, and Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance Silver Surfer effort. 

The UCME continues to study future capabilities and enhancements supporting Undersea Systems PMO, PMS340, and SOF CD. FY24 projects includes the Critical Battery Management System, Maritime Sled, and multiple situational awareness and system upgrades for the MK8 and MK11 SDV.
