(U)Ohio Replacement

Abstract

This program element supports innovative research and development in submarine Hull, Mechanical and Electrical (HM&E) and combat systems technologies and the subsequent evaluation, demonstration, and validation for submarine platforms. It will increase the submarine technology base and provide subsystem design options not currently feasible. The program element also supports programs transitioning from Science and Technology (S&T), Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), Independent Research and Development, and Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) projects. Project Unit 3220: The objective of the Sea Based Strategic Deterrent (SBSD) Advanced Submarine System Development project is to design and prepare for construction of the replacement of the OHIO Class SSBN. Project Unit 3237: The Launch Test Facility project constructs the Launch Test Facility at Naval Air Warfare Center, China Lake, CA to enable Full Scale Surface Launch Testing and evaluation / qualification of the TRIDENT II D5LE SWS missile launcher subsystem for the OHIO Replacement Submarine. The project construction will be authorized by 10 U.S.C. Section 2353, funded from Research, Development, Test, and Evaluation (RDT&E) appropriations, and will have no general utility and will be utilized solely to meet RDT&E contractual requirements.

Change Summary Explanation
Note: Beginning in 2015, there is an administrative change that shifts efforts funded from PE 0603561N (Advanced Submarine System Development) / Project 3220 to PE 0603595N (Ohio Replacement) / Project 3220. This shift is consistent with Congressional intent identified in HR 933 (FY13). Reduced FY 15 funding due to the Department's decision to reduce contracted services.
