SDTS

Abstract

This project provides for the maintenance of Hull Mechanical and Electrical (HM&E) and installed Combat Systems of the Self-Defense Test Ship (SDTS) in support of the Navy Research, Development, Test and Evaluation (RDT&E) of ship self-defense systems. Testing aboard this ship reduces the number of fleet units required to support RDT&E efforts. SDTS provides the capability to safely test self-defense weapon systems within their minimum range. A major cost of this project is regularly scheduled ship, combat system and remote control maintenance. The remainder of the funds is used for purchase of expendable supplies and routine equipment, fuel and petroleum products, and repairs and supporting services. Most costs are fixed and are associated with simply having this platform in the inventory. This project will no longer provide for the maintenance installed Combat Systems of the SDTS (FY14 forward), funding has been moved to the 3206 line.
