"The collaboration of this government-industry
team has been outstanding, a high-performing team of experts working
together to bring the Navy's vision to reality," said Raytheon's
Kevin Peppe, vice president of Integrated Defense Systems' Seapower
Capability Systems business area. "As systems and deliveries
complete, and integration and testing continue, we are advancing closer
to demonstrating the capabilities of the most technologically advanced
surface combatant in naval history."
As the prime mission systems integrator for DDG 1000,
Raytheon provides all electronic and combat systems for the program.
To date, the company has:
- Delivered more than 3,500 hardware items, completing
mission systems equipment production for DDG 1000. Production is more
than 95 percent complete for DDG 1001.
- Delivered 35 fully populated, integrated and tested Electronic Modular
Enclosures, completing the first two ship sets as well as an additional
3 EMEs for the Self-Defense Test Ship.
-
Completed more than 6.7 million lines
of code for the Total Ship Computing Environment, the integrated mission
system for the ship class, achieving all testing and readiness milestones
on schedule. Currently 96 percent complete, TSCE software is approaching
next level certification, Technology Readiness Level 7.
-
Completed advanced ship activation pilot
for DDG 1000, demonstrating control of pumps and valves; first use
of shipboard software connecting distributed control workstation,
TSCE infrastructure network and engineering control system.
-
Tested 5,000 hull, mechanical and engineering
(HM&E) signals to engineering control system and validated 12,000
additional hardware signals, at the Land-based Test Site.
-
Completed more than 1.3 million lines
of code for SPY-3/Dual Band Radar for DDG 1000, DDG 1001, CVN 78 and
the Self Defense Test Ship and delivered complete radar suite equipment
for all ship sets.
-
Dedicated a team of experts onsite at
the shipyard, supporting installation, integration and test in-line
with construction progress to meet HM&E milestones and prepare
for ship activation.
-
Remained on cost and schedule throughout
execution of the program – a testament to the design and development
approaches employed, mitigating risks and maturing technologies through
phased and incremental testing.
Additionally, the first MK 57 Vertical Launch System
and the first Integrated Undersea Warfare suite, with dual-frequency,
hull-mounted sonars, have been installed on DDG 1000.
DDG 1000 entered the water Oct. 28, 2013, at Bath
Iron Works, Bath, Maine. Construction will continue dockside, supported
by Raytheon's Ship Integration and Test team onsite for ongoing system
integration and testing.
