New Design SSN HM&E

Abstract

This project encompasses all the ship system development efforts for the VIRGINIA Class Submarine and the Technology Insertion Program for reducing cost and upgrading performance of future hulls by virtue of improvements in ship systems. Technology development implementation and logistics for developmental items, and VIRGINIA Class test & evaluation are included. This project is essential for pursuit of high priority Design For Affordability (DFA) and Reduced Total Ownership Cost (RTOC) initiatives while achieving platform requirements and providing mission capability and flexibility. The thrust of these efforts will be to develop and apply multiple advanced system technologies which are integrated into the design of the VIRGINIA Class Submarine. Technologies developed in this program will be considered for applicability to the Ohio Replacement Program (ORP) for commonality opportunities. New technologies are being transitioned from industry and government research and development programs where doing so offers substantial performance improvement and/or affordability payoffs. Transition opportunities include those from the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) Sensors & Payloads program and Office of Naval Research (ONR) Future Naval Capabilities Program.
