Who gets it
No single contractor is published as this line's leader. 1 linked award record is listed below. This line's high-confidence links do not clear the floor for a published concentration index — at least 3 awards across 2 contractor families holding positive obligations, with positive net linked dollars. Why the crosswalk is partial.

The vertical scale does not start at zero: the baseline sits just below this program’s smallest year, so a low point on this line is not a small amount. Read the shape for direction and the grid below for the figures.

Description

Mission — Ship Contract Design/ Live Fire T&E

This Program Element (PE) directly supports the Navy's Shipbuilding Plan by providing for the development of engineering, programmatic and acquisition documentation including ship specifications (including performance specifications) and contractual documentation associated with acquisition of Navy ships. This PE also supports the Congressionally mandated Live Fire Test and Evaluation (LFT&E) program for new ship designs. Contract Design has traditionally been the engineering development of the technical and contractual definition of the ship design (including ship specifications and drawings) to a level of detail sufficient for shipbuilders to make a sound estimate of the construction cost and schedule. Additionally, the contract design package developed under this PE has provided the technical baseline from which the Navy selects the shipbuilder who then develops the detail design package required to support the construction and eventual delivery of the ship. This PE also supports the development of design methodologies/tools which facilitate and optimize the transition from ship design documents to efficient production of new ships and ship conversions, and supports engineering planning and ship affordability studies. Under Acquisition Reform for new design ships, traditional distinct phasing of the design process has been replaced with a continuous concurrent engineering Integrated Product and Process Development (IPPD) process extending through and after contract award. This serves to maintain the focus of multi-discipline teams consisting of the government, shipbuilder, system programs, and suppliers. Government/Industry Integrated Product Team(s) (IPTs) will utilize the IPPD process to develop the design in an Integrated Product and Data Environment (IPDE). The design approach is part of an acquisition strategy that is based on commercial practices and incorporates a phased technical definition.

Mission — Ship Contract Design

Provides for innovation in engineering solutions for the DDG Modernization program in support of delivering added Fleet capability within Depot Modernization Periods (DMPs). Efforts include development of ship's design (e.g. ship specifications and drawings), installation and test plans, and installation and duration analysis products to evaluate and inform installation alternatives and evolve existing design processes. Provides the Navy with a digital, ship design knowledge base, including lessons learned, required to ensure that a proper development, analysis and evaluation can be conducted of any current or future planned ship alteration. Additionally supports the development of specific Navy ship design criteria and standards for newly developed technologies, new safety regulations and environmental criteria, or other legal/Congressional requirements. This project also funds the translation of the traditional Ship Specifications into performance-based criteria, which supports the development of design methodologies/ tools that facilitate and optimize the transition from ship design documents to ship alterations. This project also supports ship survivability studies, superstructure integrity analysis, developmental and operational testing, and system integration efforts. Expeditionary Sea Base (ESB) (formerly MLP AFSB) Prior year funding included the performance specification development and Dynamic Interface Testing for various airframes as part of the ESB Special Operations Forces (SOF) Backfit.

Mission — LHA(R) FLT Design and Total Ship Integration

This project provides the contract design, development, and testing efforts for the Amphibious Assault Ship General Purpose Replacement Program - LHA(R). The LHA(R) is a ship construction program designed to: (1) provide a functional replacement for the Amphibious Assault Ships which reached the end of their extended service lives (2) be a key platform in the Amphibious Readiness Group (ARG) of the future and (3) provide for an affordable and sustainable amphibious ship development program. LHA(R) ships will provide forward presence and power projection as an integral part of Joint, inter-agency, and multi-national maritime expeditionary forces. Additionally, LHA(R) will be designed to operate for sustained periods in transit to and operations in an Amphibious Objective Area to include the embarkation, deployment, and landing of a Marine Landing Force in an assault with landing craft, helicopters and tilt rotors (MV-22) supported by Joint Strike Fighters (F-35B).

Contractor concentration

No concentration index is published for this line. This line's high-confidence links do not clear the floor for a published concentration index — at least 3 awards across 2 contractor families holding positive obligations, with positive net linked dollars. An index below that floor is a fact about the sample, not about the market. Whatever further links this line carries are medium-confidence, and what each medium evidence path does and does not establish is set out in the methodology. Both bases are in the downloadable warehouse.

Lobbying mentions

No Senate LDA lobbying filing in the tracked data mentions this program element by code or alias.

GAO lists 5 high-risk areas for DOD as a whole. That designation covers the department, not Ship Contract Design/ Live Fire T&E. No program-specific GAO finding for this line is in the ingested data. See the DOD oversight record.
