S. Government Accountability Office (\u003c\/b\u003e (Created by)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGAO reviewed the Navy's MK-48 Advanced Capability (ADCAP) torpedo propulsion system upgrade program, focusing on whether the: (1) Navy needs an upgraded propulsion system; (2) upgrade would meet Navy noise reduction requirements; and (3) Navy is conducting research in alternative noise reduction technology. \u003cbr\u003e GAO found that: (1) the current system would meet the Navy's requirements for the SSN-21 Seawolf submarine; (2) the Seawolf will have a very limited production run; (3) the Navy is continuing the development of the upgrade and will make it available to submarines that can fire MK-48 ADCAP torpedoes, although they operate at higher noise levels than the Seawolf, which limits the value of the quieter system; (4) the upgrade was not intended to meet and will not lead to meeting the Navy's 1986 noise reduction requirements; (5) the Navy has basic and exploratory research programs in alternative noise reduction technologies; and (6) cancelling the upgrade and continuing the other research would be in line with the Department of Defense's (DOD) revised weapons acquisition strategy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 26\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.05 x 9.69 x 7.44 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e July 30, 2013\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47356257960185,"sku":"9781289258627","price":21.24,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2782\/3097\/files\/I3_9LQIse89781289258627_94c297e1-b14c-4d53-bfa0-0d550903275b.webp?v=1769859064","url":"https:\/\/bookscloud.io\/products\/navy-torpedo-program-mk-48-adcap-propulsion-system-upgrade-not-needed-nsiad-92-191-paperback-1","provider":"BooksCloud Book Dropshipping","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
