1 Flexible Ships Affordable Relevance Over the Full Ship Life Cycle Glen Sturtevant Director for Science & Technology 13 April

2 Outline Major Challenges & Imperative for Change Flexible Ships Features & Key Enablers Way Ahead DISTRIBUTION STATEMENT A : Approved for public release; distribution is unlimited. 2

3 Major Challenges Confronting Surface Navy Evolving Threats and Missions Accelerating Pace of Technological Change Declining Budgets Rising Costs DISTRIBUTION STATEMENT A : Approved for public release; distribution is unlimited. 3

4 Imperative for Change Ships cost too much to build and sustain Payloads (capabilities) are strongly coupled to platforms (ships) Legacy ship designs have limited growth margins Inflexible architectures result in lengthy and costly upgrades to ships Ships need to stay relevant over their entire service life The future is uncertain and the pace of changing threats is increasing DISTRIBUTION STATEMENT A : Approved for public release; distribution is unlimited. 4

5 Our History 1960s 1970s 1980s 1990s 2000s 2010s PAYLOADS SPS-39 SPS-40 SPY-1A SPY-1D SPY-1D(V) DBR AMDR RIM-7 SeaSparrow RIM-2 Terrier RIM-67 SM-1 RIM-66 SM-2 RIM-161 SM-3 RIM-174 SM-6 Surface Combatant Platforms (Destroyer example) DDG 37 DD 963 CG 47 DDG 51 DDG 79 DDG 1000 DDG Surface Navy introduced 16 different Surface Combatant platform types DISTRIBUTION STATEMENT A : Approved for public release; distribution is unlimited. 5
