Potential Impact of Collaborative and Three-dimensional Imaging Technology on SHIPMAIN

Abstract

The U.S. Navy does not have a single portfolio containing lifecycle information for individual ships, classes of ships or shipboard systems from cradle-to-grave. Initiatives like Open Architecture (OA), the Entitled Process for Surface Ship and Carrier Modernization (SHIPMAIN EP) and rapid acquisition strategies are challenging old business models to obtain higher levels of mission capability for less cost in less time. Cost-estimation and comprehensive lifecycle management are two specific areas in which Navy must become more efficient to leverage new initiatives.
