1.0 Introduction

1.1 Background

The Littoral Expeditionary Autonomous Power Buoy (LEAP) System is established to enhance the Navy’s Anti-Terrorism/Force Protection (ATIFP) by providing persistent afloat and port maritime surveillance in the near coast, harbors, piers and littorals worldwide. Waterborne threats, both domestic and overseas, that include boats, swimmers, mini-subs, autonomous vehicles, and highly lethal submerged mines form a substantial window of vulnerability for naval and civilian assets. A viable system for protecting critical infrastructure and military assets from surprise maritime terrorist attacks must include a system that detects and locates surface and subsurface threats. There is a need for persistent and dependable, long-term operation of a surveillance network to provide operational surface vessel tracking capabilities to prevent attacks from small, high-speed vessels. This effort is intended to provide capabilities that bring persistent power at sea to provide power to forward deployed sensors and communications equipment that can detect, track and communicate target information in sufficient time in order to provide decision making capability and operational execution against such threats.

[**]

1.2 Program Overview

The LEAP Program objective is to leverage a combination of existing technologies which includes a wave energy conversion buoy, sensors and communications systems to improve force protection by combining their features and capabilities into a single system. The systems integration shall be achieved through the use of the [**] for integrating with sub-systems and to create a flexible and net-centric architecture that can be distributed across multiple nodes and present a unified Common Operating Picture (COP) to the operators.

The LEAP Program is based on the Ocean Power Technologies (OPT) PowerBuoy^® wave energy conversion system, which is an enabling technology for providing power to remote. at-sea sensors and communications technologies. The operational experience and user inputs gained from ocean demonstrations shall indicate those features to be implemented to increase the capability in the near term and provide the cornerstone for further technological enhancements.
