Ship Prel Design & Feasibility Studies

Abstract

0409 - DDG 51 FLT III Concept Development - Develop Preliminary Analysis, Testing, and Design for introduction of DDG 51 FLT III in FY16. 2474 - LX(R) is expected to functionally replace LSD-41 Class ships and LSD-49 Class ships for embark, transport, control, insert, sustainment, and extract of Marine Air-Ground Task Force elements and supporting forces by helicopters, landing craft, and amphibious vehicles. Efforts are required to identify viable alternatives, including examining a reduced cost variant of LPD-17 Class. Efforts include all Gate and Milestone (MS) documentation, Capabilities Development Documentation (CDD), and Indicative Design (ID). Program is on track to support FY26 retirement of LSDs. LX(R) is financed in RDTEN PE 0604454N Project 2474 in FY15 and out. 3377 - The Navy requires ocean-going towing, salvage, and rescue capabilities to support Fleet operations. The Navy's current capabilities are provided by four T-ATF 166 class Fleet Tugs and four T-ARS 50 class Salvage ships which reach the end of their expected service lives starting in 2020 and 2025, respectively. The T-ATF Fleet Tugs perform towing at sea, salvage, and diving operations; act as a support ship for portable deep-diving equipment and submarine rescue operations; provide fire-fighting assistance; and perform oil spill pollution abatement. The T-ARS Salvage Ships perform combat salvage, lifting, emergency repair, and rescue towing of combatant or support ships damaged, stranded, scuttled, distressed, or abandoned at sea to repair yards or safe havens. The T-ATS(X) program will recapitalize the current Fleet Tugs and Salvage Ships with a common hull Towing, Salvage and Rescue Ship (T-ATS(X)) that is capable of performing the missions of the retiring T-ATF and T-ARS classes. RDT&E funding will provide for trade studies and program support leading to award of a Detail Design and Construction contract in FY17. NDSF BA 04 Project 3117 prior year amounts: FY 2014: $20.024M C253 - Develop concept studies, ship design, and trade off studies in support of recapitalization of the existing T-AO 187 Fleet Oiler Class. The Navy's Combat Logistics Force (CLF) oilers supply fuel and dry cargo to Navy ships at sea. The T-AO(X) will operate as a shuttle ship from resupply ports to customer ships. Additionally, in conjunction with a T-AKE Dry Cargo/Ammunition Ship, they will accompany and stay on-station with a Carrier Strike Group (CSG) to provide fuel as required to customer ships.
