Cost Reduction of Shock Application Project Overview

This project aims to reduce costs by leveraging opportunities enabled by MIL-DTL-901E for shock testing. It explores less expensive methods and implements cost avoidance initiatives to meet shock requirements more cost-effectively. The project involves tasks such as project initiation, validating requirements with NAVSEA, designing standard test fixtures, and pursuing NAVSEA approvals. The team consists of members from Ingalls Shipbuilding, Newport News Shipbuilding, Hi-Test Labs, NTS, ATI, and BAE Systems Southeast. The timeline spans from April 2019 to February 2021, with a focus on meeting shock requirements efficiently. The project aims to streamline shock testing processes and share results with the shock community through Navy documentation.

  1. Cost Reduction of Shock ApplicationProject Overview for NSRP Panel MeetingJuly 16, 2019 Kristi Carroll and John Walks

  2. Agenda • Overview of Ingalls Shipbuilding and Introductions • Project Background/Overview • Project Management • Phase I Description (Tasks 1, 2 and 3) • Summary

  3. 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

  4. 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

  5. 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

  6. 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

  8. Milestone Schedule – Phase I

  9. Milestone Schedule – Phase II

  10. 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

  11. 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

  12. 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

  13. 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

  14. 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
