LPD-17 Class Systems Integration
Abstract
The LPD-17 Class ships are functional replacements for 41 ships of four classes of amphibious ships. These new ships embark, transport, and land elements of Marine landing forces in an amphibious assault by helicopters, landing craft, and amphibious vehicles. Tactics, techniques, and tools for naval expeditionary warfare continue to evolve. The LPD-17 Class configuration must continue to adapt to this evolutionary process as these ships are expected to be in service until almost 2050. The LPD-17 design includes system configurations that reduce operating and support costs and facilitate operational performance improvements. The RDT&E,N funding will be used for system engineering and integration efforts to resolve obsolescence issues facing the LPD-17 Class components, as well as develop further reductions in life cycle costs, and will integrate performance upgrades in a rapid, affordable manner. These efforts will result in well-defined specifications and drawings in system integration design packages that provide technical baselines for follow-on ship procurements. This program is funded under Engineering and Manufacturing Development because it encompasses engineering and manufacturing development of new end-items prior to production approval decision.
