Ship Contract Design
Abstract
CG and DDG Modernization: The major effort is the engineering development of the technical and contractual definition of the ship's design (e.g. ship specifications and drawings), with sufficient details for the planning yard to make a sound estimate of cost and schedule. It also serves as the technical definition from which the planning yard develops the detailed design and testing package required to build and test the ship. It provides the Navy with a digital, ship design knowledge base, including lessons learned, required to ensure that a proper development, analysis and evaluation can be conducted of any current or future planned. Another area this project funds is the development of specific Navy ship criteria and standards for newly developed technologies. Additionally, as new laws are passed, new safety regulations and environmental criteria are developed and other legal/Congressional requirements identified, this project funds the translation into Navy ship design criteria and standards. This project also funds the translation of the traditional Ship Specifications into performance-based criteria, which supports the development of design methodologies/tools which facilitate and optimize the transition from ship design documents to ship alterations. This project also supports ship survivability studies, superstructure integrity analysis, developmental and operational testing, gun weapon system software integration and next generation Machinery Control System (MCS) software integration. DON Energy Initiative - Hybrid Electric Drive This project includes an increment for the DON Energy Initiative related to the DDG 51 Hybrid Electric Drive to reduce DDG 51 Class ship energy consumption and increase mission effectiveness through longer time on station. This project supports propulsion at low ship speeds without the need for LM 2500 main engines. Fuel savings from the Hybrid Electric Drive system will be achieved by utilizing fewer gas turbines for propulsion and ship service power generation while also loading gas turbines generators at a more efficient operating load. Provides critical foundation for SECNAV and CNO objectives to achieve greater Navy-wide energy security.
