NAVSEA Tech Authority

Abstract

This project has been established to support NAVSEA Technical Authority through coordinated, collaborative, cross-platform systems development in advanced capabilities across business lines through development of processes, procedures, and tools necessary to develop future surface ship force structures; advanced surface ship and unmanned surface vehicle concepts; interoperability; and development of systems level engineering criteria and options to support the current fleet, future pre-acquisition and advanced concepts mission needs analysis, SCN, and R&D planning. The objective is the coordination of design and development efforts for cross-platform applicability to result in more affordable, mission-capable, and interoperable surface ship forces including ships that are less expensive to build and operate with reduced manning, reduced support costs, and greater utilization of emerging technology. NAVSEA Tech Authority efforts under Project 3161, known as the Cross Platform Systems Development (CPSD) Program transition directly to early-stage ship design for Ship Preliminary Design and Feasibility Studies and other Program Executive Office (PEO) ship design programs. While these efforts support concept exploration and mission needs assessment for potential future ship acquisition programs, they also develop cross-program technology solutions and associated technical authority products. They are not direct efforts for specific, authorized shipbuilding programs. This project is the only R&D effort (Government or commercial) that provides a coordinated, collaborative approach to the development of: cross-platform naval ship and weapon system design, as well as engineering capabilities in the areas of design tools, criteria, and methods. This project also provides innovative solutions for current Fleet issues involving Technical Authority, such as interoperability issues with new systems or platforms, or broad technology insertion topics. All CPSD Pillars have been rebaselined to align with the decreased budget and are comprised of the following functional areas: CPSD 1.0 - Platform Concept Advanced Development CPSD 2.0 - Platform Design and Certification Tools/Engineering and Tech Data Exchange Development CPSD 3.0 - Ship Systems Engineering/Modular Ship Systems Development CPSD 5.0 - High Speed Ships and Craft Engineering CPSD 6.0 - Alternate Power Systems Engineering CPSD 8.0 - Embedded Interoperability (I/O) Engineering CPSD 9.0 - Mission Capability Systems Engineering CPSD 13.0 - Cybersecurity CPSD 14.0 - Future Surface Combatant Study
