Building on a Solid Foundation
• We have evolved the Naval Open Systems Architecture Strategy
• We are working on Open Technical Reference Architectures
• We have established an IP Strategy for acquiring systems
• The Navy has experience in building common combat systems
• Portfolio management of common and open product lines

The Naval Business Model – Top-Level Strategy
Procure Basic Platforms
•
Decouple the mission systems and integration from the platform
•
Able to quickly change modular components for future flexibility
•
Stabilize platform production – segregate from rapid change
Develop/ Maintain Capability Product Lines
•
Reduce and manage vendor-locked and stove-piped products
•
Improve core competencies across the force
•
Design for robust, affordable testing
•
Build in adaptability
Integrate and Deliver
•
Manage Platform-unique elements
•
Reduce acquisition cost and risk
•
Spur innovation and enhance warfighter capability

CNOs Challenge: Create Modularity

THINK Open Architecture
THINK Plug and Play
THINK Payloads over Platforms
The Navy’s future depends on vessels that use
common, open architectures, allowing individual
systems to be removed and new ones to be plugged in
as warfighting requirements change.

Open Acquisition
Intellectual Property Strategy
• Government as Business Integrator
• Choose where to invoke generous license rights to design data
• Architecture and interfaces
• What the Government paid to develop
• Choose where to invoke innovation
• Where warfighting requirements change quickly
• Where the Commercial sector is investing
• Where there are multiple strong providers

Learning from Industry
• DoD can learn from commercial industry's playbook
• Leverage their “lessons learned” based on product-line
success
• Industry has proven that investment in initial
product-line architecture reaps system life cycle
cost reductions due to:
• Integration
• Planning for obsolescence
• Technical refresh
• Common components and software across platforms
Unlocking Potential
10
Typical Industry Standard Practices
• Multi-use – multiple levels
• Architecture
• Hardware modules and structures
• Software
• Common core components
• Design
• Standardized interfaces
• Require use of standard interfaces between modules
• Multiple vendors able to produce modules meeting
form/fit/function requirements

Renault
• “Automakers rapidly are moving toward a new era in
vehicle architectures that promises lower costs, turnon-a-dime manufacturing and shorter productdevelopment lead times” (WardsAuto, Oct 28, 2013)

as future vehicles are
derived from the

General Motors
• Adopting a more flexible approach
• mixes and matches modules across product portfolio
• Modular architectures enable:
• quick reaction to changes in consumer preferences
• shorten vehicle development times
• Reduce architectures from 30 in 2010
• to 17 in 2018, core platforms from 39% to 96%
• to 99% on core architectures by 2020
• to 4 basic vehicle sets in 2025
• Consolidate lead engineering to one center

• drive inefficiency out of product-development process

Modular and Open Warship Vision
•
•
•
Efficient and frequent capability insertion and technology refresh to
overcome obsolescence at the lowest possible cost
Greater mission adaptability and warfighting dominance via re-configuration
Increased efficiencies in ship design, construction, testing, sustainment, and
disposal achieve affordable relevance over the lifecycle
