Frigate

Abstract

Frigate (FFG(X)) efforts are composed of the design and development for a more lethal and survivable multi-mission warship focused on Anti-Surface Warfare (SUW) and Anti-Submarine Warfare capabilities (ASW), local air defense and enhanced survivability features. FFG(X) design modifications for added capability over LCS include an Over-the-Horizon (OTH) surface-to-surface missile system, upgraded air defense weapons and sensors, advanced electronic warfare system and improved decoys, local air defense, and enhanced survivability features. This effort will encompass design, development, and technical issue resolution to support design maturity for DD&C FY 2020 contract award. Certification and testing efforts are also required to support the FFG(X) delivery, operations, and introduction to the fleet. The FFG(X) design and development phases include platform design, development and risk reduction; combat system element integration; total ship system engineering and integration; combat systems and warfare systems certification; and planning and conduct of system testing. These efforts include procurement of combat and warfare system equipment and/or simulators to support production representative testing in support of design, development, and certification efforts and ordnance in support of testing. This funding will also include efforts and activities required for formal Developmental and Operational testing of the FFG(X). Test and Evaluation (T&E) will concentrate on verifying integration and interoperability of employed technologies and systems in the FFG(X) design to achieve the mission capabilities and performance requirements as defined in the FFG(X) Capability Development Document (CDD). Funding will also be for the execution of DT, C4I integration & test, cyber test and certification, warfare system integration & test and certification, aviation (manned and unmanned) integration & test and certification. T&E functions will include the evaluation of Critical Technical Parameters (CTP), Measures of Effectiveness (MOE), Measures of Suitability (MOS), and Key Performance Parameters (KPP).
