Design, Tools, Plans and Concepts
Abstract
Project 2196 - This project provides the analytical foundation for making informed force structure, capability and affordability decisions in the development of all future surface ship platforms, weapons, sensors and combat systems. It achieves this through total ship system engineering, technology integration, cost estimation, mission effectiveness analysis, force architecture synthesis, and force-level effectiveness analysis, as well as continuous development of the people, tools and processes required to efficiently accomplish these efforts efficiently. This includes early-stage concept development studies for all potential future surface ships. It includes quantitative mission and force-level analysis to identify future capability gaps and requirements related to advances in threat capabilities, and evaluation of the effectiveness and affordability of potential future technology and concept of operations (CONOP) solutions. Results from this project are used to inform senior Navy leadership in support of budgetary decisions, Capability Evolution Plans (CEP), and requirements related to surface ship force structure, platforms and major combat system elements.
