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) to reach Initial Operational Capability (IOC). 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 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 - Medium Landing Ship (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 support strike capabilities via the embarked MLR.

• Change Summary Explanation: PE 0603564N was reduced from FY 2024 and FY 2025 for proper phasing of execution and miscellaneous rate adjustments. Project 0409: Funding decrease of $6.623 million from FY 2024 to FY 2025 continues DDG 51 FLT III LFT&E / FSST and Cyber Enclave design in accordance with planned efforts. Project 0411: The reduction of $45.706 million from FY 2024 to FY 2025 will continue current planned efforts starting preliminary design, developing IPS specifications to support IPS equipment procurements under the PE 0603573N/PU 2471, and engagement with the industrial supplier base to define ship equipment supporting the critical ship configuration lock milestone defining the overall hull structure. Project 3389: Decrease of funding by $7.726 million from FY 2024 to FY 2025 due to the completion of the full scale Seabased Petroleum Distribution System (SPDS) prototype fabrication and decrease in improved Modular Fuel Delivery Station (iMFDS) material procurement. Project 4044: Decrease of $8.761 million is due to System Specification and GFE system development tailoring down in FY 2025 as the program begins Detail Design and Construction.
