Strategic Capability R&D Infrastructure
Abstract
Sustains Navy R&D capability for continued operations of the Large Scale Vehicle (LSV-2) and Intermediate Scale Measurement System (ISMS) test facility in support of VIRGINIA and COLUMBIA Class Programs, numerous other smaller programs, and future submarine technology development. These facilities are a critical enabler supporting the conduct of large scale model experiments and focus on evaluating the stealth, control, affordability, and operational effectiveness of new submarine technologies. The technology validation provided by the model experiments has provided significant cost and schedule savings by allowing prototyping at scale, vice with first-of-hull assets.
