DDG(X) Design and Analysis
Abstract
DDG(X) Design and Analysis efforts include all of the program and engineering efforts necessary to mature a functional ship design that meets validated requirements. DDG(X) design maturation will occur through the development of progressive technical data packages (TDP) that form the design baselines. The TDPs will be developed collaboratively using an Integrated Product and Process Development (IPPD) type strategy with Navy and industry partners over four phases: Concept Formulation (FY 2023 complete), Preliminary Design (FY 2023-2026), Contract Design (FY 2026 start), and Detail Design & Construction. Preliminary Design activities will integrate shipyard developed design products with Navy managed specifications and critical system development activities. DDG(X) has assessed two critical systems in accordance sections 1034 and 131 of the FY 2020 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA): Hull and Integrated Power Systems (IPS). Requirements for DDG(X) necessitate a new hull form. The new hull form will be designed, modeled, tested, and verified prior Detail Design as risk reduction to engineering changes or potential operational limitations upon delivery. DDG(X) Design and Analysis efforts provide the management and development of derived requirements and specifications to inform the IPS risk reduction procurement and testing executed under PE 0603573N / PU 2471. IPS test findings will be incorporated in final specifications and design products developed under this PE (0603564N / 0411) ensuring that the ship can accommodate the space, weight, power, cooling (SWAP-C) of the IPS and that the IPS can meet DDG(X) power and energy requirements. The interdependency of DDG(X) design and IPS risk reduction is critical.
