Advanced Shipyard Technology

Abstract

Advanced Shipyard Technology (AST) develops, matures, and transitions technology (production processes, human augmentation, business process, IT, tooling, etc.), into the naval shipyards. Advanced Shipyard Technology funding will facilitate collaboration between government (Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA), the public naval shipyards, Navy customers, Naval Warfare Centers, and others), academia, and industry. AST is an innovative approach to leverage public/private cooperation and target technology and process solutions that build on progress made over the previous years. Funding ensures widespread adoption of innovative improvements, enhancing proficiency and productivity of the public naval shipyard workforce to achieve the continuous product and process improvements necessary for improved Navy ship repair costs, and an overall reduction in availability duration.
