New Design SSN HM&E
Abstract
FY 2025 increases in Proj 1947 are associated with Virginia Class Block VII studies, trade-space definition, and long-term development beginning in parallel to Block V/VI design efforts. This increase in funding is needed to ensure all development efforts can be executed enabling design efforts to support ship construction schedules. FY 2025 funding provides for the continued execution of Virginia Class Submarine Undersea Dominance Payload Integration (UDPI) (i.e., Advanced Payloads), Advanced Acoustic Sensors, and future blocks concept designs. FY 2025 will support the development of capabilities/technologies for inclusion in the Virginia Class Block VI technical baseline, as well as initial development for Virginia Class Block VII. Funds will be executed at the Virginia Class design yard and numerous sub-vendors and warfare centers designing and developing critical, complex ship components necessary for integrating Block VI capabilities into the baseline class design. This project encompasses all the ship system development efforts for the Virginia Class Submarine and the Technology Insertion Program for reducing costs and upgrading performance of future hulls by virtue of improvements in ship design and systems. Technology development implementation and logistics for developmental items, and Virginia Class test & evaluation are included. 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 COLUMBIA (CLB) Class Submarine Program 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) and Office of Naval Research (ONR) Future Naval Capabilities Program.
