Ship Concept Advanced Design
Abstract
Explore alternative surface ship force structures, advanced surface ship and unmanned surface vehicles concepts, and the potential technologies for these force structures and advanced concepts in support of pre-acquisition mission needs analysis, mission area analysis, and planning. The objective is a more affordable, mission capable surface ship force including increased ship production capability; ships with reduce manning, reduced operating and support costs, and greater utilization of the latest technology. The program directly supports the Navy Shipbuilding Plan with state-of-the-art design tools and methods for surface ship force structure alternative studies, ship & unmanned vehicle concept studies, and the actual conduct of surface ship force structure alternative studies and advanced design concept studies for the ships that may become part of the shipbuilding plan. Project 2196 - This project funds concept development engineering, mission effectiveness analysis, and other analyses for formulation of future surface ship force structure along with development of the tools to accomplish these efforts. Advanced ship concept studies, ship and ship systems technology assessments, and the development and upgrade of ship concept design and engineering tools, methods, and criteria. Project 3161 - This project funds a prioritized portfolio of time-sensitive initiatives supporting NAVSEA Technical Authority through integrated efforts in Cross Platform Systems Development (CPSD), furthering Sea Enterprise through the development of support elements for Technical Warrant Holders and meeting relevant needs of the warfare community. The areas of exploration for CPSD include surface ship concept advanced development, submarine concepts, next generation unmanned surface vehicle, high speed ships/crafts, tool integration and technical data exchange, embedded interoperability engineering, and mission capability systems engineering. The research products developed by this project directly support and influence both immediate fleet requirements and future acquisition programs by providing a range of technically acceptable alternatives and evaluation of emerging technologies. In particular, tasks within this project continue to directly support interoperability testing and certification for Littoral Combat Ship (LCS) and other platforms in deploying battle groups, development and certification of Safe Operating Envelope (SOE) tools for surface combatants (CG 47, DDG 51, DDG 1000), American Bureau of Shipping (ABS) pilot program to determine engineering-based combatant service life values based on fatigue and other structural analyses, implementation of Component Commonality in current Navy ship acquisition to reduce total ownership and maintenance costs, Total Ownership Cost (TOC) pilot programs, and development of specifications and processes to reduce production costs of platforms. Tasks within this project continue to directly support the Test and Evaluation Master Plan (TEMP) execution for multiple ship classes including, LCS, JHSV, and DDG 1000 reducing Live Fire Test and Evaluation (LFT&E) costs, furthered validation of hydrodynamic simulation tool supporting DDG 1000 Hull Form Plan (HFP), have increased technology readiness level for aluminum combatants, developed tools to execute the CG 47 Cracking Task Force recommendations, increased situational awareness for deploying strike groups, and conducted feasibility studies of future Railgun capabilities. This project supports NAVSEA's core mission and enhances its ability to conduct independent technical authority which allows for improved performance and reduced cost of current and future naval platforms.
