Feedback on RA Solicitation Process• Feedback from proposers and reviewers from the last 2 cyclesmay prompt an in-depth review of the requirements in theProposal Preparation Kit• The program is looking to increase solicitation response byusing an updated and simpler process• We welcome your comments on ways to improve thesolicitation process in the area of proposal requirements(e.g., what keeps you from proposing?) Some potential areas:– Proposal length– Cost proposal requirements– Teaming issues– Internal reviews/permission to proposePlease send all feedback to nsrp@scra.orgNATIONAL SHIPBUILDING RESEARCH PROGRAM

Special InitiativesNATIONAL SHIPBUILDING RESEARCH PROGRAM

International Shipyard Visits• Asia – Week of April 18• Europe – Week of May 9• Teams included:– Shipyard and Navy team members were assigned to one ofthe four specific focus areas approved by the ECB:• Ship Design and Design for Production• Production Engineering and Planning• Purchasing and Material Management• Organization and Structure– Teams were tasked to observe and document key processes,practices and technologies employed by international yards.• Final Report is posted on NSRP website• New U.S. benchmarking being considered by ECBNATIONAL SHIPBUILDING RESEARCH PROGRAM

International Shipyard VisitsPotential Near-Term Opportunities:• Non-painted cables on Navy ships• Shrink wrapped protection of SS pipe• Numbered and color-coded wireways• Peel off paint protection• Well organized and very visible 5S shadow boards• Use of shipside material and personnel elevators• Do not complete system arrangement plans prior tocommencement of work. Complete arrangement plans block byblock to support block erection sequence.• Develop build strategy prior to design so build strategy drivesdesign• Minimize use of scaffolding to improve safety• Better coordination and integration of production engineering andplanning with engineering departmentNATIONAL SHIPBUILDING RESEARCH PROGRAM

Documents for Ship CostReduction (DSCR)NSRP Program Status21 September 2011Tom KonenNSWCCD, Philadelphia11NATIONAL SHIPBUILDING RESEARCH PROGRAM

DSCR Key Activities– DSCR-2, Shock continues with DSSM & specification changes• MIL-S-901 revision to commence FY-12– DSCR-3, Vibration specification revision commenced– DSCR-5, Welding continues with next changes to NVR Part 8and AWS procedures• Six of an eventual 25 AWS procedures have been adopted– DSCR-6, Motors specification issued - ready for use• Integration to Commonality Virtual Shelf ongoing– DSCR-7, Switchgear specification revision initiated• Letter to NSRP with proposed specification changes is in process– DSCR-8, Piping specification - ECD publish Fall 2011– DSCR-9, BPG & EMTARTT - Funded tasks ECD Spring 2012NAVSEA accepted NSRP’s challenge to reduce cost of specificationsNATIONAL SHIPBUILDING RESEARCH PROGRAM12

Challenges- Way Ahead• Get DSCR changes implemented and accruesavings/avoidance– Formalize the process to• Have SDMs write the revised specifications into shipbuilding plans• Have NSRP lead the dialogue to develop a process with the PEOs &Shipbuilders to implement changes to existing and future contracts• Undertake new DSCR initiatives to keep process ongoing– Deck coverings , ~10 specifications impacted– 60 Hz transformers, MIL-T-15108– Bus transfer switches, MIL-PRF-17773 & MIL-PRF-32150– Discussions with NSRP for suggestions after the DSCR “Top 10”• Build Spec Section 201, Machinery Control System Commissioning– Reduce waterfront time• ASTM standard for Centrifugal Pumps– Allow the use of lower cost centrifugal pumps where location and criticality permitsNATIONAL SHIPBUILDING RESEARCH PROGRAM13

Voice SystemRequirementsDocumentDevelopmentNATIONAL SHIPBUILDING RESEARCH PROGRAM

Voice System Requirements Spec• Members of the Electrical Technologies Panel met on 27 Junewith NAVSEA 05, Lockheed Martin, Schneider Electric, L-3,Raytheon, DRS, ABS and Voice TWH (NSWC Dahlgren)• Focus was on using current DSCR process to launch a project todevelop a generic set of functional requirements for VoiceSystems on U.S. Navy platforms– Based on Voice SRD developed for CVN 78 and 68• Outcome would be a requirements document that is applicableto Navy combatants and tailorable to specific platforms• Document will aid Navy and equipment suppliers through theacquisition process; potentially allow system acquisition andtesting to occur earlier in the build cycleNATIONAL SHIPBUILDING RESEARCH PROGRAM

Voice System Requirements Spec• Shipyards involved believe this is a much-needed document thatwill aid early development, design and installation of shipboardvoice systems; as well as mitigate other network integrationconcerns• NAVSEA and Internal Comms TWH agree that this project wouldhave value and agree to support industry during developmentNATIONAL SHIPBUILDING RESEARCH PROGRAM

Insulated Bus PipeInitiativeNATIONAL SHIPBUILDING RESEARCH PROGRAM

Insulated Bus Pipe InitiativeBackground• The Electrical Technologies Panel has an ongoing Panel Projectthat is evaluating Insulated Bus Pipe installation methods for usein the U.S. shipbuilding industry• Several ECB-member shipyards and shipbuilding programs haveexpressed interest in seeing the work continue in order totransition and qualify the technology for Navy combatants• Gary Zimak (Electrical Tech. Panel Chair) has discussed potentialfollow-on activities with the Ship Design & Material Tech. andPlanning, Production Processes & Facilities Panels• Plan in September was to continue discussions and involvementof interested Navy parties, then return in December with aspecial project proposal for ECB approvalNATIONAL SHIPBUILDING RESEARCH PROGRAM
