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. FY25 funds continue development of the Variable Depth Sonar (VDS) capability via the Combined Active Passive Towed Array Sonar (CAPTAS) and continue Combat System and Over-the-Horizon (OTH) development and AEGIS Weapon System (AWS) integration, Live Fire Test & Evaluation (LFT&E) and Developmental Testing (DT) support as well as Cyber security implementation and Land Based Engineering Site (LBES) construction. FY24 funds will develop Variable Depth Sonar (VDS) capability via the Combined Active Passive Towed Array Sonar (CAPTAS) and continue Combat System and Over-the-Horizon (OTH) 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 LBES construction. FY23 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 LBES test program.
