Strategic Capability R&D Infrastructure
Abstract
Sustains Navy R&D capability for continued operations of the Large Scale Vehicle (LSV-2) and the Intermediate Scale Measurement System (ISMS) test facility in support of VIRGINIA and COLUMBIA Class Programs (plus numerous other smaller programs) and future submarine technology development. Critical submarine stealth enabler. Facilities support the conduct of large scale model experiments for submarines. Facilities focus on evaluating the stealth, control, affordability, and operational effectiveness of new technologies that are prototyped on large-scale models. The technology validation provided by the models has provided significantly cost and schedule savings by allowing prototyping and development at just under full-scale vice with first-of-hull assets.
