Ship Prel Design & Feasibility Studies

Abstract

0409 - This project is a new start that provides Test and Evaluation (T&E) requirements for DDG-51 Flight III to meet Initial Operational Capability (IOC) in FY24. T&E will concentrate on verifying integration and interoperability of employed technologies and systems in the DDG-51 FLT III design to achieve the mission capabilities and performance requirements as defined in the DDG-51 Flight III Capability Development Document (CDD). T&E functions will include the evaluation of Critical Technical Parameters (CTP), Measures of Effectiveness (MOE), Measures of Suitability (MOS), and Key Performance Parameters (KPP). Funding planned is for the execution of Developmental Testing (DT), Operational Testing (OT), and Live Fire Test and Evaluation (LFT&E). 0411 - The Navy's Large Surface Combatant (LSC) Program is a new start for a new ship evolutionary acquisition program essential to the Future Surface Combatant Force. The purpose of the program is to initially integrate non-developmental systems into a new hull design that incorporates platform flexibility and growth capabilities to meet projected future Fleet system requirements. Initial LSCs will leverage DDG 51 Flight III combat systems as well as increased flexibility/adaptability features including expanded Space, Weight, Power & Cooling Service Life Allowances (SWaP-C SLA) to allow for more rapid and affordable upgrades in capabilities over the ships' service life and allow for fielding of future high demand electric weapons and sensor systems and computing resources. The ability of the ship's Vertical Launch System to accommodate longer and larger diameter missiles for increased speed and range of weapons, additional capacity for an embarked warfare commander and staff, support for 360-degree coverage with Directed Energy weapons, and improved signatures with support for additional improvements over time. The new ships will be designed to provide these initial capability increases as well as the growth capacity to support projected future systems requirements. The design will also incorporate flexibility features to quickly back-fit and forward-fit systems to pace known threats and meet future emergent needs through evolutionary block upgrades and modernization. 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.

Change Summary Explanation
FY21 Change Explanation -$5.210M Proj 0409 - Increase $+5.545M for DDG-51 Flight III Test and Evaluation including (DT/OT) to support Initial Operating Capability (IOC) in FY24. Proj 3389 - Decrease of -4.048M due to $-2.562M for cancellation of OPLOG R&D efforts without a transition plan and by $-1.500M to account for the availability of prior year execution balances. Proj 0411 - Decrease of $-6.707M due to revised acquisition strategy
