2010 Combat Systems: Vision and Acquisition Framework
2007
Duren, Bernard G. | Pollard, James R.
For an enterprise with lofty goals, plans must be formulated around a vision expressing its ultimate purpose and strategy. Such a vision brings the main factors governing conduct of the enterprise into focus and helps mobilize available resources to achieve success. This report presents a conceptual framework for design of surface combatants with increased ability to accommodate both new technologies and new maritime strategies. This framework includes a reference model or functional architecture for combat systems. The report also considers implications of the framework for management of surface ship combat system development activities. Hence, it continues and expands on related work presented by NSWCDD Technical Reports 90-121, 91-607, 91-795, and 92-141, and NSWCDD Miscellaneous Publication MP-92/647. Design for interoperability and the potential for dual use of combat system technology are topics raised here for the first time. The overall goal is to ensure that the U.S. Navy will continue to be armed and equipped with effective, affordable and usable warships sufficient to execute a chosen concept of operations against an adversary that is both capable and determined....
