SBSD Advanced Submarine System Development
Abstract
The Sea Based Strategic Deterrent (SBSD) Advanced Submarine System Development program funding request supports the necessary design, systems engineering, prototyping, and vendor qualification activities needed to execute the schedule for Common Missile Compartment (CMC) design, whole ship design, and component technologies development for the next generation US ballistic missile submarine. This RDT&E program supports cooperation with the United Kingdom (UK) to maintain strategic deterrence, based on a single effort to develop a common missile compartment as agreed by the UK Secretary of State for Defense and the US Secretary of Defense in 2009. The OHIO Replacement program strategy is to maximize the re-use of existing OHIO systems and new designs from VIRGINIA Class (as applicable), focus on Life Cycle Total Ownership Cost (TOC) affordability and meet the higher standards required for this SSBN to achieve mission success in a challenging environment. The following key activities support a ship acquisition program to replace the OHIO Class SSBNs: 1. Design and development of a missile compartment, launch system and strategic support systems to meet US strategic requirements while cooperating with the UK on modernizing its strategic deterrent in accordance with Presidential direction (December 2006). 2. Analysis of Alternatives (AOA) completed with final brief to the Office of the Secretary of Defense (OSD) on May 20, 2009. The final AOA Report was completed in September 2009. AOA Sufficiency Review Letter was signed by OSD Director, Cost Assessment & Program Evaluation on December 8, 2009. The program completed a Milestone A (MSA) Defense Acquisition Board (DAB) review on December 9, 2010. The Acquisition Decision Memorandum (ADM) is expected to be signed in February 2011, approving MSA, and authorizing the program to enter the Technology Development phase. 3. Concept and System Definition for remaining portions of the ship will maintain synchronization with the CMC design efforts. This effort will be accomplished by the design/ build/ sustain approach modeled after the VIRGINIA Class program. 4. Development of advanced submarine platform technologies to provide capabilities needed to enhance platform operational effectiveness and minimize life cycle cost.
