(U)SSBN New Design

Abstract

The FY2020 funding request was reduced by $2.5M to account for the availability of prior year execution balances. 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. The funding applies to the design, systems engineering, prototyping, and vendor qualification activities needed to execute the schedule for Common Missile Compartment (CMC) design, whole ship design, and component technologies development for the next generation U.S. ballistic missile submarine (SSBN), the COLUMBIA Class. Project Unit 3220: The objective of the SSBN New Design project, the COLUMBIA Class is to design and prepare for construction of the replacement of the OHIO Class SSBN. Project Unit 9999: This Congressional Add project funds efforts for the Advanced Materials Propeller Program and Naval Propulsion Foundry Center Facility Power Upgrades.
