Ship Concept Advanced Design
Abstract
Explore alternative surface and expeditionary ship force structures (encompassing amphibious warfare), advanced surface ship and unmanned surface vehicles concepts and 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 reduced 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 studies, ship & unmanned vehicle concept studies, and advanced design concept studies for the ships that may become part of the shipbuilding plan. Project 2196 - This project supports the next step in the development of a transformed naval force by accomplishing pre milestone A (especially pre-concept) decision efforts for all potential surface ships. These efforts are the required first step in the definition and integration of total ship systems, including combat systems, weapons systems and Hull, Mechanical and Electrical (HM&E) systems. 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. Efforts include 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 is the only R&D effort (Government and commercial) that provides a coordinated, collaborative approach to the development of cross platform naval ship and weapon system design, as well as engineering capabilities in the areas of design tools, criteria and methods. This project funds a prioritized portfolio of time-sensitive initiatives through integrated efforts in Cross Platform Systems Development (CPSD), supporting Technical Authority through the development of support elements meeting relevant operational needs of the warfare community. The areas of exploration for CPSD include surface ship concept advanced development, next generation unmanned surface vehicle, high speed ships, tool integration and technical data exchange, cybersecurity, 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. While these prototypes, standards/specs, tools and processes and other efforts support concept exploration and mission needs assessment for potential future ship acquisition programs, they are not direct efforts for specific, authorized shipbuilding programs. Products from this project transition directly to early-stage ship design for Ship Preliminary Design and Feasibility Studies and other Program Executive Office (PEO) ship design programs. 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 Operator Guidance tools for surface combatants (CG 47, DDG 51, DDG 1000), Total Ownership Cost (TOC) pilot programs, future flexible and modular warship analyses, 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, further validate hydrodynamic simulation tool supporting DDG 1000 Hull Form Plan (HFP), increase technology readiness level for aluminum combatants, develop tools to execute the CG 47 Cracking Task Force recommendations. This project supports NAVSEA's core mission and improves performance at reduced cost for current and future naval platforms. Project 3376 - Strategic Sealift Research and Development - Develops new concepts and technologies which can be applied to or will enable future strategic sealift, and Seabasing systems. The technologies include ship configuration concepts, equipment to increase cargo handling and cargo loading/unloading rates (including commercial and merchant ship systems), improved man/machine interfaces, improved structural configurations and materials, and Logistics-Over-the-Shore (LOTS) equipment and system improvements. FY2016 and prior years (FY2014 and earlier) efforts were funded under NDSF BA 04 Project 3116 Strategic Sealift Research and Development.

- Change Summary Explanation
- The FY 2017 funding request was reduced by $2.638 million to account for the availability of prior years execution balance. Decrease in Ship Concept Advance Design RDTEN by $0.559 million as required for the Department of the Navy to comply with the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2015. Programmatic: Project 3161: The Cross Platform Systems Development Program (CPSD) was adjusted based on reduced level of effort. Financial: Beginning in FY 2017, efforts previously financed under the National Sealift Defense Fund (NDSF) BA 04, Project 3116 (Strategic Sealift Research and Development) are financed under this program element. FY 2016 NDSF BA 04 Project 3116 amount: $5.502M. This project is not a new start.
