FRIGATE Development
Abstract
The Constellation class frigate (FFG 62) is a more lethal and survivable multi-mission small surface combatant. With FFG 62, the Navy will maximize the small surface combatant capabilities in the Anti-Surface Warfare (SUW), Anti-Submarine Warfare (ASW), Electronic Warfare/Information Operations (EW/IO), Air Warfare (AW) mission areas, and survivability while keeping the ship an affordable component of the "high-low" mix of surface ships. The FFG(X) Capability Development Document (CDD) was approved by the Joint Requirement Oversight Council (JROC) in Feb 2019 and completed Milestone B, an informed Independent Cost Estimate, and award of the Detail Design & Construction (DD&C) contract in April 2020. FY 2024 funds will develop Variable Depth Sonar (VDS) capability via the Combined Active Passive Towed Array Sonar (CAPTAS) and continue Combat System development and Aegis Weapon System (AWS) integration, test and evaluation efforts including Live Fire Test & Evaluation (LFT&E) and Developmental Testing (DT) support as well as Cyber security implementation and Land Based Engineering Site construction. FY 2023 funds continue to mature Combat System and C4I elements into an integrated baseline to support ship construction; assess platform risk via Early Integration Testing events; continue development, coding, test, and assessment of the FFG AWS; test and evaluation activities relevant to ship survivability; and mature the FFG Land Based Engineering Site (LBES) test program. FY 2022 funds continue focus on AWS design development, coding, and test; Combat System and C4I Element Integration; and test and evaluation activities including Shock Qualification Testing, cyber table top (#3), and development of a LBES Test Program.
