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
Description — Command and Control Switchboard
The switchboard program provides mission critical switching capability required to link shipboard combat equipment including weapons, launchers, sensors, computers and navigation equipment. In essence, switchboards serve as the central connection point for most elements of combat and weapon systems, interior communications, data transfer, and command and control systems. They are designed to accommodate either analog, digital interfaces, or a combination of both. In total, this budget item supports approximately 200 ships and 1,000 pieces of equipment throughout the acquisition life cycle. Functions include: data routing, action cutout, test and operating mode selection (including casualty back-up modes), power monitoring and control, circuit protection, peripheral equipment isolation, signal processing, and frequency conversion amplification and switching. In summary, the primary purpose is to provide systems intra and interface compatibility. Changes in other elements of the combat and Interior Communication (IC) systems will frequently mandate either conjunctive modification to switchboards via ship change documents (SCDs), ordnance alteration (ORDALT)/field changes (FCs) or partial or complete replacement of existing switchboards. Typical switchboard mods include hardware/field change kits, ORDALT/SCD/FC instructions, technical manual updates and revisions to other supporting documentation. Hull unique switchboard configurations require hull unique documentation. Subsequent alterations to these switchboards require hull unique design, hardware, installation, and checkout procedures. New Switchboards are normally installed during a regular overhaul by a shipyard. Command and control switchboards are currently installed on and are required for almost all surface combatants and amphibious warfare ships. Individual switchboard unit cost varies from ship to ship, depending upon size, complexity, and whether analog or digital interfaces or some combination thereof are utilized. Modifications to existing switchboards via Ship Alterations (SHIPALTs), SCDs, ORDALTs or FCs are quantified by kits or change packages rather than individual units. The number of kits required for different classes of ships are as follows: DDGs/CGs require three to four (3 - 4) per ship, LSDs require two (2) per ship, LPDs require one (1) per ship, MCMs require (3) per ship and LHDs require two (2) per ship. The magnitude of modifications also varies, as Cruiser Modernization is considerably more complex than the Amphibious Class hulls. Switchboard hardware is normally procured by the Invitation For Bids (IFB) process, from manufacturers on Qualified Products List (QPL)-17000. There are currently six companies listed on QPL-17000. All contracts awarded are competitive, fixed price. [P40A / ENG UPGRADES/MODS TO EQUIPMENT & TECH DOCUMENTATION]: Combat Systems & Interior Communication Switchboard Engineering and Modifications Upgrades to Equipment, Drawings, Technical Manuals (TMs) Allowance Parts Lists (APLs) and Allowance Equipage Lists (AELs). This line covers the costs to upgrade/modify existing equipment and associated technical documentation to implement and validate upgraded switching configurations essential for the ships' switchboards to properly integrate all elements of the Combat System and Interior Communication interfaces. The upgraded engineering modification drives the procurement of hardware modification kits (i.e., ORDALTs & Field Changes). These engineering modifications are essential to the functional deployment of Battle Force Interoperability. [P40A / ORDALT/FIELD CHANGE KITS]: Combat Systems & Interior Communication Switchboard Engineering and Modification Upgrade Procurements. This line covers the costs to implement and validate upgraded Procurement of ORDALT/Field Changes kits driven by upgraded engineering modification. These engineering modifications are essential to the functional deployment of Battle Force Interoperability.
Justification
Justification — Command and Control Switchboard
The FY 2026 funding request supports the procurement of qty 12 ordnance alteration (ORDALT)/field change kits and the associated engineering upgrades, modifications and technical documentation. The FY 2026 request was reduced by $.022 million for Advisory and Assistance Services to promote efficiencies and advance the policies of the Administration in alignment with Executive Order 14222, "Implementing the President's Department of Government Efficiency Cost Efficiency Initiative."

Follow the dollar
No follow-the-dollar view — this program's awards haven't been crosswalked at high confidence (flows cover 312 of 1,938 programs). why coverage is partial? →
Awards
No awards are linked to this program element at high or medium confidence — the budget→award crosswalk only asserts links it can defend, and this line has none yet.
Lobbying mentions
No Senate LDA lobbying filing in the tracked data mentions this program element by code or alias.
Oversight
Department-level designation (not specific to this program)
GAO lists 5 high-risk areas for DOD as a whole. That designation covers the department, not Command and Control Switchboard. No program-specific GAO finding for this line is in the ingested data. See the DOD oversight record.
