SBSD Technology Refresh

Abstract

This project encompasses ship system development, coordination, and management efforts for the COLUMBIA Class Submarine Technology Insertion Program and Technology Refresh Program over the life cycle. The purpose of the Technology Insertion Program is to efficiently upgrade performance of future hulls by virtue of improvements in ship systems. The purpose of the Technology Refresh Program is to develop, coordinate, and manage technical refresh plans for ship systems reliant on Commercial off the Shelf (COTS) technology that have short product life cycles to ensure materiel solutions for obsolescence issues. Technology development implementation and logistics for developmental items, and COLUMBIA Class test & evaluation for these items are also included. Technologies developed in this program will be considered for applicability to the VIRGINIA Program for commonality opportunities. The thrust of these efforts will be to maintain required technical performance and materiel readiness of COLUMBIA SSBNs in order to support the Sea Based Strategic Deterrence (SBSD) mission.
