Imperative for Change• Ships are costly to build and sustain
- Current cost estimating methods result in minimal displacement ship designs
- Warfighting capabilities are derived from inherently complex systems
- Ship density is directly proportional to ship design, construction and sustainment costs
• Payloads (capabilities) are strongly coupled to platforms (ships)
• Legacy ship designs have limited allowance margins for modernization
• Closed and inflexible architectures result in lengthy and costly upgrades to ships
• Ships need to stay combat relevant over their entire service life or become irrelevant
