Agenda • Overview of Ingalls Shipbuilding and Introductions • Project Background/Overview • Project Management • Phase I Description (Tasks 1, 2 and 3) • Summary
Ingalls Shipbuilding • Building four classes of ships simultaneously—10 ships currently under construction • Sole builder of the San Antonio-class (LPD 17) amphibious transport docks and the America- class (LHA 6) amphibious assault ships • One of two builders of DDG 51 Arleigh Burke-class destroyers • Sole builder of the Legend-class National Security Cutters for the U.S. Coast Guard • Largest private manufacturing employer in Mississippi – approximately 11,000Employees DDG 51 Surface Combatants LPD 17 Class Amphibious Transport LHA 6 Amphibious Assault Ship USCG National Security Cutter
Team Members • Ingalls Shipbuilding • Mike Poslusny, Kristi Carroll, Sean Murphy, Parisa Ghandehari, Michael Thompson, John Walks • Newport News Shipbuilding • Mike Talley • Hi-Test Labs • Ashley Shumaker • NTS • Steven “Tucker” Thompson, Calvin Milam • ATI • Nick Laney, Project Manager • BAE Systems Southeast • Steve Cogswell, Program Technical Representative
Cost Reduction of Shock Application • The Big Idea • Leverage opportunities enabled by MIL-DTL-901E to expand less expensive methods of shock testing • Push old and new cost avoidance initiatives across the finish line and share results with the shock community through Navy documentation • Less expensive methods of shock testing • Deck Shock Simulating Machine (DSSM) • Medium Weight Shock Machine (MWSM) • Light Weight Shock Machine (LWSM) • Qualification by Inspection (Grade B items only) • Timeline • April 2019 through February 2021 Meeting shock requirements more cost effectively
Project Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) • Task 1: Project Initiation • Task 2: Validate Requirements with NAVSEA • Task 3: Design Standard Test Fixtures and Evaluate 25Hz Spring Tray • Task 4: Test Fixture and 25Hz Tray Characterization • Task 5: Shock Qualification Improvements • Task 6: Pursue NAVSEA Approvals • Task 7: Final Report and Final Project Workshop • Task 8: Program Management and Technology Transfer (both phases) Phase I Phase II
Task 1 – Project Initiation • To kick off the project, Ingalls held a brainstorming session on 04/30/2019 to discuss old and new 901E cost avoidance project ideas with experts in the shock community • NAVSEA Attendees: Mike Campbell, Chris Merrill, Kurt Hartsough, Chris Wall and Dominic Urzillo • Discussed multiple project options: • Standard Deck Simulating Shock Machine (DSSM) Fixtures • Universal Medium Weight Test Fixture • Testing Class I Equipment on the DSSM (25Hz Spring Tray) • Expanded use of the Lightweight Machine • Update 901E Drawings (FSPs, DSF, Fixtures, etc.) • Streamline Shock CDRL Approvals • Universal Lightweight Test Fixture • Improve testing of mitigated deck and raft equipment • Mike Campbell (Technical Warrant Holder) directed us to select simple projects with the best chance of implementation
Task 1 – Project Initiation (Cont.) • Formal kickoff meeting was held on 05/29/2019 • Technical discussion during the kickoff: • Presented details of the eight project options • Discussed pros/cons of each option • Determined potential road blocks • Determined which projects are the low hanging fruit • The team also brainstormed additional project ideas • A survey was sent to stakeholders to select the top four options
Task 2 – Validate Requirements with NAVSEA • Determine the best avenue for documenting results • Addendum to MIL-DTL-901E • NAVSEA Standard Drawings • Chris Merrill is evaluating the logistics of creating both types of documentation • Project deliverables will be in the proper format for NAVSEA to create official documentation • Standard test fixtures created under this NSRP project and documented by NAVSEA will eliminate the required test procedure approvals for DSSM, MW and LW testing
Task 3 – Design Std. Fixtures/Evaluate 25 Hz Spr. Tray • Results of Task 1 prioritization and Task 2 effort will flow into test fixture designs to be tested in Phase II • NAVSEA comments will be incorporated before test fixture design is considered complete • Test fixture designs will be built to enable testing early in Phase II
Summary • The concept and plan is simple and straightforward • The team has the right experience and skills • We are fortunate to be building on some prior efforts • We will execute the plan and work to keep it simple
