Ship Contract Design/ Live Fire T&E
Abstract
This Program Element (PE) directly supports the Navy's Shipbuilding Plan by providing for the development of engineering, programmatic and acquisition documentation including ship specifications (including performance specifications) and contractual documentation associated with acquisition of Navy ships. This PE also supports the Congressionally mandated Live Fire Test and Evaluation (LFT&E) program for new ship designs. Contract Design has traditionally been the engineering development of the technical and contractual definition of the ship design (including ship specifications and drawings) to a level of detail sufficient for shipbuilders to make a sound estimate of the construction cost and schedule. Additionally, the contract design package developed under this PE has provided the technical baseline from which the Navy selects the shipbuilder who then develops the detail design package required to support the construction and eventual delivery of the ship. This PE also supports the development of design methodologies/tools which facilitate and optimize the transition from ship design documents to efficient production of new ships and ship conversions, and supports engineering planning and ship affordability studies. Under Acquisition Reform for new design ships, traditional distinct phasing of the design process has been replaced with a continuous concurrent engineering Integrated Product and Process Development (IPPD) process extending through and after contract award. This serves to maintain the focus of multi-discipline teams consisting of the government, shipbuilder, system programs, and suppliers. Government/Industry Integrated Product Team(s) (IPTs) will utilize the IPPD process to develop the design in an Integrated Product and Data Environment (IPDE). The design approach is part of an acquisition strategy that is based on commercial practices and incorporates a phased technical definition. CVN 78 Class efforts consisting of Project Units 3179, 3108, and 4007 were moved to PE 0604112N / Project Unit 2208 in FY 2024 and later, enabling Major Defense Acquisition Program (MDAP) transparency of the CVN 78 Class.
