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. 3261 - T-AGOS Design & Total Ship Integration - Ocean surveillance ships gather underwater acoustical data to support the mission of the Integrated Undersea Surveillance System by providing a ship platform capable of theater anti-submarine acoustic passive and active surveillance. Auxiliary General Ocean Surveillance Ships (T-AGOS) are operated by Military Sealift Command to support the anti-submarine warfare mission of the commanders of the Atlantic and Pacific Fleets. The two current classes of surveillance ships use surveillance towed-array sensor system (SURTASS) equipment to gather undersea acoustic data. The ships also carry electronic equipment to process and transmit that data via satellite to shore stations for evaluation. Funding will support recapitalization of the four SWATH (T-19 Class) and one SWATH (T-23 Class) Auxiliary General Ocean Surveillance ships (T-AGOS). 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 program will recapitalize the current Fleet Tugs and Salvage Ships with a common hull Towing, Salvage and Rescue Ship (T-ATS) 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. 3389 - Naval Operational Logistics (OPLOG) Integration IPT Development - Develops enabling technologies for future and in-service afloat operational logistics and integrated supply force and combatant logistics requirements; and conducts cooperative initiatives with acquisition programs, program sponsors, engineering managers, the Navy science and technology community and Fleet customers. OPLOG develops integrated, cross-platform (i.e. applicable to more than one ship class/type) operational logistics and energy conservation technologies and capabilities as well as draft acquisition and operations policy ensuring future Naval systems leverage emerging logistic capabilities and technologies to provide operationally effective and energy efficient logistics delivery.
