DDG-1000

Abstract

This Program Element (PE) provides funds for the integration of Conventional Prompt Strike (CPS) into the Zumwalt class surface combatants. CPS integration is a top Chief of Naval Operations (CNO) priority that enhances the Zumwalt class's mission to provide credible independent forward presence/deterrence and operate as an integral part of Naval, Joint or Combined Maritime Forces. DDG 1000 will establish and maintain surface superiority, provide local air defense, and incorporate signature reduction to operate in all threat environments. DDG 1000 will have seamless Joint Interoperability to integrate all source information for battlespace awareness and weapons direction. Funding provided is for development activities necessary to integrate CPS into all three Zumwalt Class destroyers to perform the required systems engineering, analysis, modeling and simulation necessary to install the CPS capability on DDG 1000 during her first Build Yard Mod Period (BYMP). The funding provides a flexible, surface combatant launched long-range strike capability through the ships' remaining service life. When combined with the low observable characteristics of the Zumwalt platform, the ships provide a compelling strike capability from a platform designed to complicate an adversaries' targeting problem. Funding enables ship modifications for installation of a CPS cold launch system common to the future Virginia Payload Module.
