DDG(X) Design and Analysis
Abstract
Description: 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 design baselines. A collaborative, multi-disciplinary Navy and industry team will develop TDPs using an Integrated Product and Process Development (IPPD) type programmatic approach over four phases: Concept Formulation (FY 2023 complete), Preliminary Design (FY 2023-2027), Contract Design (FY 2027 start), and Detail Design & Construction. Preliminary Design activities will incorporate shipbuilder design inputs into 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 to 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.
