In-Service Carrier Systems Development
Abstract
The In-Service Carrier Systems Demonstration and Validation Program develops new technology and enhancements for 11 nuclear powered Aircraft Carriers with nearly 300 systems onboard each vessel. These systems are a combination of historical and new initiatives that deliver an affordable, robust, operator-friendly automated control environment. In order to deter threats and properly integrate all of the systems, the Demonstration and Validation Program segments the testing and upgrades into four areas: system architecture, requirements/specification development, technology selection, cyber-security engineering and integration, and software development. The Demonstration and Validation Program also focuses on the Total Ownership Costs of each system and any equipment obsolescence issues. Initial technologies include the Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) Replacements, the Integrated Condition Assessment System (ICAS), the On-Machine I/O development for Low Pressure Air Plants (LPAP) and LPAP Air End Re-design. Demonstration technologies include Advanced Damage Control System (ADCS) software improvements, Input / Output Controller (IOC) Replacement, Fleet wireless Personal Digital Assistant (PDA), Weapons Elevator Laser Positioning System (WELPS), Legacy Steering Interface (LSI) upgrades, Passive Countermeasures System (PCMS) alternate measurement capability, additive manufacturing efforts, and Weapons Elevators Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) redesign.
