CVN 80 Total Ship Integration
Abstract
Development and related testing of CVN78 Class aircraft carrier specific technologies, the infusion of the ship technology base into existing and future aircraft carriers, and the potential realization of subsystem design capabilities not currently feasible. This project also funds the Contract Design efforts for the CVN 80. This project transitions the minimum sustaining technologies required to address obsolescence, critical survivability shortfalls as identified in CVN 78 Class testing, future requirements, and technologies which did not mature in time to support the CVN 78 or CVN 79. All systems developed in this project have the potential to support emerging requirements and other promising system technologies for insertion into new aircraft carrier designs. The emphasis is directed toward developing ship hull, mechanical, propulsion, electrical, aviation, warfare systems, and combat support systems, sub-systems and components to maintain aircraft carrier affordability, manpower requirements, survivability, and operational capabilities and to meet the requirements of existing and pending regulations and statutes critical to the operation of future aircraft carriers. This project also encompasses those tasks required to support CVN 80 procurement, including, but not limited to engineering support, programmatic and program support, modeling and simulation, manpower and program related studies, and design support systems, such as the Integrated Digital Environment.
