Ship Prel Design & Feasibility Studies

Abstract

0409 - This project provides Test and Evaluation (T&E) requirements for DDG-51 Flight III ships and efforts for the Navigation, Aviation and Hull, Mechanical & Electrical (HM&E) Cyber Enclaves Design for implementation on future new construction ships. 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), with Initial Operational Capability (IOC) in FY24. 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 is also planned for the execution of Developmental Testing (DT), Operational Testing (OT), Live Fire Test and Evaluation (LFT&E), and, beginning in FY24, efforts to support Full Ship Shock Trials (FSST). The Navigation, Aviation and Hull, Mechanical & Electrical (HM&E) Cyber Enclaves Design effort will provide a new design to physically separate Hull, Mechanical, and Electrical (HM&E) communications from Navigation communications to meet multiple DoD Directives/Instructions on Cybersecurity and Navy Joint-SYSCOM Cybersecurity Standards on Enclave management. This design will be utilized to support implementation on future new construction DDG 51 class ships. 0411 - The Navy's DDG(X) program is the Navy's Future Guided Missile Destroyer ship acquisition program to follow the DDG 51 class that is essential to field capabilities required for the future fight as validated by the Future Surface Combatant Force (FSCF) ICD, FSCF AoA, and Future Naval Force Study (FNFS). DDG(X) will integrate non-developmental systems into a new hull design that incorporates platform flexibility and the space, weight, power and cooling (SWAP-C) to meet future combatant force capability/system requirements that are not achievable without the new hull design. The DDG(X) platform will have the flexibility to rapidly and affordably upgrade to future warfighting systems when they become available as well as have improved range and fuel efficiency for increased operational flexibility and decreased demand on the logistics force. DDG(X) will provide an Integrated Power System(IPS) with flexibility to enable fielding of high demand electric weapons, sensor systems and computing resources. To decouple ship development risk from technology risk, accommodation of additional future capabilities will be pre-planned; these future capabilities may include: missile launchers capable of larger weapons to exceed adversary capabilities, high power lasers, or other systems that can be efficiently incorporated when developed and demonstrated. 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. 4044 - The Light Amphibious Warship (LAW) will be referred to as the Medium Landing Ship (LSM) going forward to align with the mission and distinguish between traditional amphibious ships. LSM is a medium-sized landing ship that enables distributed maneuver and logistics such as Distributed Maritime Operations (DMO), Littoral Operations in a Contested Environment (LOCE), and Expeditionary Advanced Base Operations (EABO) in support of the newly established Marine Littoral Regiment (MLR). It is designed to fill the gap in capability between the Navy's large, multipurpose amphibious warfare class ships and smaller landing vessels. This ship will deploy tailored logistics, select power projection and strike capabilities. C754 - Congressional Add for the Preliminary Ship Design of Next-Gen Hospital Ship - The T-AH(X) Hospital ship program will recapitalize aging Role 3 medical services ships. The primary mission of these ships is to provide rapid, flexible, and mobile acute health services support to military personnel deployed ashore and afloat with a secondary mission of providing mobile surgical hospital service and acute medical care for disaster or humanitarian relief. USNS MERCY class ships will retire from service beginning in FY 2036, after over 60 years of service. Conduct of a Requirements Evaluation Team for development of Top Level Requirements and performance of initial ship feasibility studies is planned.

Change Summary Explanation
Project 0409: Funding increase supports the additional scope for Full Ship Shock Trials (FSST) planning, additional scope for the Cyber Enclaves design effort, and the increase in effort for the Flight III LFT&E program with the start of survivability testing drill development in FY 2024. Project 0411: FY 2024 funding continues the design team ramp up to execute preliminary design activities and begin initial procurement of design information for select systems. Project 3389: FY 2024 funding supports the materials procured for Seabased Petroleum Distribution System (SPDS) and improved Modular Fuel Delivery Station (iMFDS) fabrication. Project 4044: FY 2024 increase due to realigning of project from PE 0603563N, Ship Concept Advanced Design, and funding required to support a lead ship in FY 2025.
