NAVSEA Tech Authority
Abstract
This project has been established to support the NAVSEA Technical Authority with 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 Unit (PU) 3161, known as the Cross Platform Systems Development (CPSD) Program, develops cross-program technology solutions and associated Technical Authority products. This project is the only R&D effort that provides a coordinated, collaborative approach to the development of cross-platform naval ship and weapon system technical requirements, design, as well as engineering capabilities in the areas of design tools, criteria, and methods. The CPSD project also provides innovative solutions for current fleet issues involving Technical Authority, such as interoperability issues with new systems or platforms and/or cross-cutting technology insertion topics. In FY 2023, CPSD was re-baselined to improve efficient and resilient alignment to CNO and NAVSEA Chief Engineer technical requirements and priorities. CPSD maintains the use of established functional areas for scope prioritization and portfolio diversification but now aligned to the "Support of Technical Authority." Project Unit 3161 includes the Additive Manufacturing (AM) program. The AM program focuses on development and use of AM equipment for Naval applications in land-based and afloat applications, including system performance requirements, shipboard integration requirements and considerations, material selection, design optimization, equipment and component certification, and digital engineering integration. Efforts also include consideration of AM across a wide variety of potential applications ensuring AM manufactured components can meet mission requirements and that system/component technical requirements are updated to leverage AM. Project Unit 3161 also includes the Learning to Action Board (L2AB) Firefighting Program. Following the USS Bonhomme Richard fire, the L2AB Firefighting Program was established to research and develop solutions for damage control and firefighting issues identified in a subsequent Major Fires Review. This program funds critical efforts in shipboard fire detection/suppression systems, fire prevention features, and advanced firefighting equipment. Beginning in FY 2025, Condition Based Maintenance Plus (CBM+) is a maintenance optimization program that can generate significant benefits through maintenance program resets, maintenance effectiveness reviews, and active reliability centered maintenance (RCM) strategies at the program level. Employed as an enduring cross-life-cycle maintenance strategy, the program offers a technical solution to reduce maintenance burdens, increase operational availability and mission reliability of monitored systems, assists with identifying enterprise-wide cost avoidance, and will reduce overall life cycle costs. As a function of the Rapid Sustainment Improvement Process (RSIP), the CBM+ system will be developed, tested, evaluated, and then installed (using BLI 1445) on three to five surface combatants for selected shipboard equipment. Sensors for these systems will be defined and assessed. Further, the CBM+ system will be integrated with the Naval Maintenance, Repair, and Overhaul (N-MRO) suite of programs onboard ship to facilitate on ship and off ship monitoring.
