Design, Tools, Plans and Concepts
Abstract
Project 2196 - This project provides the foundation for an affordable and mission capable surface ship force. It also supports the next step in the development of a transformed naval force by accomplishing the pre-milestone A (especially pre-concept decision) efforts for all potential surface combatants. These efforts are the required first step in the identification of relevant, effective, and affordable platform requirements for the future force. Additionally the integration of total ship systems, including combat systems, weapons systems and Hull, Mechanical and Electrical (HM&E) systems will be addressed for ships in the pre-milestone A stages of acquisition. Inadequate early planning, requirements definition, and ship concept formulation can result in downstream design, construction and operational problems. A subtler and severely negative impact of neglecting this early effort is that the "best" concepts and technologies may never even be considered and the greatest potential ship design advances never realized. Designs and technologies must consider how to meet the threat over the life span of the class, which can last nearly a century. This project supports this requirement. This project funds concept development engineering, mission effectiveness analysis, force architecture analysis, and other analyses for formulation of future surface ship force structure along with development of the platforms, payloads, people and processes required to accomplish these efforts. Advanced ship concept studies, ship and ship systems technology assessments, and the development and upgrade of ship concept design and engineering tools, methods, and criteria are funded in this project. This project: (1) Develops alternative surface ship force structure concepts including ships and unmanned surface vehicles. (2) Evaluates the mission/force capability effectiveness and costs for these alternative surface fleet architectures. (3) Performs fleet war fighting/mission effectiveness assessment studies. (4) Identifies future surface ship requirements and characteristics necessary to meet future threats and support mission needs. (5) Investigates new affordable ship concepts and evaluates technologies necessary to support these concepts (6) Provides design methods and automated design tools to develop and evaluate ship concepts. (7) Supports development of Initial Capabilities Documents (ICD) and analogous early requirements documents for future ships. (8) Develops and updates a Technology Invest Strategy to help guide OPNAVs investments to achieve an effective future fighting force These efforts are done to support analysis; mission needs development and technology assessment in support of future fleet concepts and potential ship acquisition programs. These efforts are fundamental to the Navy's formulation of the future fleet requirements. These efforts support and maintain naval ship design and engineering capabilities in the design phase of developing concept design tools, criteria and methods.
