Overview
Developed under the DD(X) destroyer program, USS Zumwalt (DDG 1000) is the lead
ship of a class of next-generation multi-mission destroyers tailored for land
attack and littoral dominance. DDG 1000 will provide forward presence and
deterrence and operation as an integral part of Joint and combined expeditionary
forces. Zumwalt is a key component of the surface combatant "family of ships"
currently being developed by the Navy to serve as the backbone of tomorrow's
surface fleet. The engineering challenge is to meet the peacetime presence and
warfighting operations requirements of the 21st century littoral environment
within stringent acquisition and life cycle cost constraints. Specific
technologies and engineering development models being developed for DDG 1000
include an advanced gun system, radar suite, integrated power system, vertical
launch system, and signature management/reduction, as well as optimal manning
with emphasis on reduced crew size, high quality of life, and minimal total
ownership costs. The Naval Surface Warfare Center, Dahlgren Division (NSWCDD),
as a member of the DDG 1000 Navy Technical Team, provides vital expertise in
multiple mission-critical areas.
