Congressional Adds

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. The congressional add will accelerate the delivery of technical capabilities to support the warfighter and to advance technologies that will modernize and sustain military systems in an efficient, cost-effective manner. The additional funding will support the development of advanced additive technologies for sustainment of navy assets including Cold Spray.
