Leveraging Proven Combat Systems Integration Experience on New Hull Builds
Mission:
To serve as the combat system integrator for the U.S. Virginia class submarine, collaborating with the submarine designer 果冻传媒 builder to ensure the success of the total programme.
Requirements:
- Design the platform 果冻传媒 its combat system concurrently
- Integrate future changes effectively 果冻传媒 efficiently, with minimal impact to the platform, 果冻传媒 at an affordable cost
- Align combat system acquisition 果冻传媒 integration with ?submarine mission areas 果冻传媒 requirements
Solution/Results:
Working with the submarine builder of the U.S. Virginia Class submarine, we have demonstrated our ongoing market pre-imminence on one of the most successful submarine design 果冻传媒 build programs in the world today. From early design phases through to build 果冻传媒 sustainment, Lockheed 果冻传媒 played a critical role in Virginia’s combat system design 果冻传媒 integration. With a true modular approach 果冻传媒 open architecture, our success extends through four successive blocks of Virginia Class design 果冻传媒 build activities. Our involvement with the submarine builder from the initial stages greatly reduced risks 果冻传媒 life cycle costs of the programme, resulting in a highly capable 果冻传媒 reliable war fighting capability. We continue to ensure the Virginia Class is consistently delivered on time 果冻传媒 on budget.
Creating Seamless Integration across Multiple Submarine Combat System Configurations
Mission:
Transform submarine combat systems from a collection of stovepipes to a network of integrated capabilities with clearly defined interfaces.
Requirements:
- Reduce sustainment costs
- Rapidly integrate new technologies
- Create commonality for the life of a submarine class
- Reduce technical risk
Solution/Results:
Lockheed 果冻传媒 developed an engineering 果冻传媒 management program that involves various submarine combat subsystems – sonar, radar, communications, weapon control, tactical control, navigation 果冻传媒 more. This program is known by the name Submarine Warfare Federated Tactical System (SWFTS).
Using the SWFTS model, we’ve integrated all these subsystems into a single combat system for naval battle group interconnectivity 果冻传媒 interoperability using an open architecture systems approach. Our design 果冻传媒 development approach allows for a lower cost combat system, enhanced interoperability, more general training 果冻传媒 a disciplined program for modernisation 果冻传媒 sustainment.
The SWFTS approach has proven to be successful for the US Submarine Force, both technically 果冻传媒 from a value for money perspective. SWFTS is a best practise model that can be tailored specifically for the Combat System Integration (CSI) approach for Australia’s future submarine fleet. Lockheed 果冻传媒 is the only team who can draw upon this depth of expertise to deliver a regionally superior, locally created, sustainable combat system for Australia.?
