SBSD Advanced Submarine System Development
Abstract
The SBSD Advanced Submarine System Development program funding requests supports the necessary design, systems engineering, prototyping, and vendor qualification activities needed to execute the schedule for Common Missile Compartment (CMC) design, and whole ship design and component development technologies for the next generation ballistic missile submarine. The U.S. RDT&E program supports cooperation with the UK to maintain its strategic deterrent, continuing over 46 years of cooperation under the Polaris Sales Agreement. The following key activities are imperative for a successful ship acquisition to replace the OHIO Class SSBNs: 1. Design and development of a missile compartment, the launch system and the strategic support systems to meet US strategic requirements in accordance with the President's direction (NOV 06) to support the replacement of the United Kingdom (UK) strategic deterrent, the VANGUARD Class SSBN. UK Secretary of State John Hutton's letter dated February 2009, confirmed continued UK support for the CMC Program. US Secretary of Defense Gates response dated May 09, confirmed joint US/UK CMC design efforts. 2. AOA analysis was completed May 09 along with final out brief to OSD. The final AOA Report completed in September 2009. OSD's PA&E AOA Sufficiency Review Letter was signed December 2009. 3. Concept and System Definition for remaining portions of the ship in order to maintain US synchronization with the missile compartment design efforts to provide a balanced and integrated US submarine design within US schedule requirements. 4. Development of advanced submarine platform technologies to provide capabilities needed to enhance platform operational effectiveness and minimize life cycle cost over its service life.
