Advanced Surface Machinery Sys

Abstract

This Program Element (PE) supports innovative research and development of advanced surface ship Hull, Mechanical, and Electrical (HM&E) components and systems, primarily power and energy systems, and the subsequent test, evaluation, and demonstration of those systems for future ships and back-fit ships, where appropriate. This PE provides resources for Ships HM&E cyber analysis. This PE also serves as the bridge for power and energy systems between Science and Technology (S&T), ship platform, and mission systems acquisition programs by identifying prospective applications for S&T research, advanced development, and performing additional product development and qualification when necessary to meet platform or mission system requirements. This PE includes risk mitigation efforts for the DDG(X) Integrated Power System (IPS) which will satisfy the FY20 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) Section 131 requirements for land-based testing of propulsion systems in a realistic environment and FY22 NDAA Section 221 requirement for a land-based test program for the engineering plant prior to DDG(X) construction start. The IPS hardware development and procurement and Land Based Test Site (LBTS) integration and test efforts executed under this PE / PU are informed by DDG (X) Ship Design specifications developed under PE 0603564N / PU 0411.

Change Summary Explanation
In FY 2024 to FY 2025 the PE decreases by an overall total of -$39.969M. The DDG(X) Power & Propulsion Risk Mitigation & Demonstration decrease of -$38.871M which aligns with the PE 0603564N / PU 0411 as the Navy revalidates the TLR for the ship's mobility that directly impacts the procurement and test sites configuration requirements. The Power & Energy decrease of -$0.353M in design/development is due to the refinement of scope associated with the output voltages and the alignment with the draft MIL-STD-1399. The HM&E Cybersecurity decrease of -$0.745M of SABER development funds to the SABER program office PE 0603563N project 3244. Schedule: The Navy, in 2023, opened up efforts to re-validate the Top Level Requirements (TLRs) for the DDG(X) to ensure that those TLRs are in line with the warfighters' need to meet the pacing threat. This effort opened up decision space and will result in rework in the conceptual design phase of the design process and delays preliminary design and follow on events and milestones of the ship acquisition to the right.
