The Selection and Design of Optimum Combat Weapon Systems for Naval Ships

Abstract

This study report outlines a new management approach for developing improved analytical methods of determination of and subsequent acquisition of optimum combat systems for Naval ships. The study examines the current practices and procedures used in tactical combat system selection and notes the weaknesses and deficiencies. This study also discusses the weaknesses in the current Navy organization as it relates to the assessment of a ship's military mission effectiveness. An organization is proposed during the ship design period that would facilitate the determination and acquisition of optimum combat systems.
