Advances in aircraft carrier life cycle cost analysis for acquisition and ownership decision-making

NAVAL ENGINEERS JOURNAL 2000年第3期112卷 97-110页

作者： Chewning, IM Moretto, SJ Irvin M. Chewning:is currently the Director of the Aircraft Carrier Cost Estimating and Industrial Analysis Group of the Naval Sea Systems Command. Over the past four years Mr. Chewning has guided the cost analysis effort for the new CVNX class aircraft carrier through a three-part analysis of alternatives and is currently steering it towards Milestone I in June of 2000. In 1999 the CVNX cost analysis team was presented the NAVSEA Association of Scientists and Engineers “outstanding team achievement” award for its work on the CVNX analysis of alternatives. Mr. Chewning's professional career includes over 16 years as an employee of Newport News Shipbuilding as a Pipe Fitter Piping Systems Designer Piping Systems Engineer and Cost Engineer. He has worked at the Naval Sea Systems Command since 1980 as a Senior Cost Analyst Branch Head and Deputy Division Director of the Cost Estimating and Analysis Division. He has preformed cost analysis work for virtually all USN combatant programs including submarines cruisers destroyers frigates and aircraft carriers. He also performed the cost analysis work for the OSD evaluation of the Israeli Naval Modernization Program in the 1980's. Mr. Chewning is also Chairman of the NATO Specialist Team on Ship Costing a subgroup of the NATO Naval Group Six on Ship Design. Under his leadership two Allied Naval Engineering Publications have been completed in the 1990's: ANEP-41 on Ship Costing and ANEP-49 on Ways to Reduce Costs of Ships. In 1999 the NATO Specialist Team on Ship Costing completed a paper titled “Manpower Reduction and the Use of Commercial Standards and Practices to Reduce Costs of Ships.” The result of this work will be incorporated in a future revision of the aforementioned ANEFs. Mr. Chewning is a graduate of North Carolina State University with a Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering. Mr. Chewning has also completed courses at the University of Virginia and Christopher Newport University Mr. Chewning is a graduate of the Program Management College

The U.S. Navy recently conducted an analysis of alternatives (AOA) to set the stage for determining the characteristics and acquisition strategy for its next generation aircraft carrier. The platform design selected is expected to be in service throughout the 21st century. The parameters under consideration for change in the new carrier design lie in the areas of propulsion and electric power generation, aviation, survivability, service life, and total ownership cost (TOC) reduction. The issue of affordability is paramount This paper focuses on the need for the program management office and its supporting cost analysis staff to understand the life cycle cost (LCC) of the existing and proposed future aircraft carriers and to then translate these LCC's into meaningful information for cost-conscious decision making. The challenge is to relate the LCC in terms the key decision-makers and the engineering team can use to satisfy their respective roles. Thus, it is necessary to translate the results of the given ship design alternative LCC's into the paradigms of the respective stakeholders: Fleet User (operators of aircraft carriers) Ship Designers (translators of the fleet operator requirements) program Sponsors (providers of the funding resources) program Management Office, Ship builder and Supporting Industry (executors of the acquisition and construction of the ship) Navy and OSD decision-makers (overseers of program execution) The paper describes the aircraft carrier LCC breakdown structure that has resulted, in part, from a recent navy/shipbuilder integrated product team effort to capture total ownership costs. The structure has been used in the AOA as a tool to identify cost drivers and to add the time element to the cast equation in order to perform return on investment and program affordability analysis. The expanded ship work breakdown structure (ESWBS) has emerged as the central backbone of the cost work breakdown for AOA work. The ESWBS structure is a natural

In the Fiscal Year 1996 National Defense Authorization Act, Congress amended the Clean Water Act to provide the Department of Defense and the Environmental Protection Agency authority to jointly establish standards for incidental discharges from Armed Forces' vessels. The uniform national standards would apply to discharges from vessels of the Navy, Military Sealift Command, Army, Marine Corps, Air Force, and Coast Guard to the navigable waters and contiguous zone of the U.S. and its territories. Uniform National Discharge Standards (UNDS) will require control of discharges, by either a technology or management practice. UNDS will facilitate the Armed Forces' ability to better design and build future vessels to be environmentally sound and to maintain the operational flexibility of Armed Forces' vessels both domestically and internationally. The development of standards for Armed Forces' vessel discharges may have greater impact on naval engineering requirements for future vessels than any other single environmental issue, These standards are expected to stimulate the development of innovative vessel pollution control technologies, which on be used for both Armed Forces' vessels and commercial shipping vessels. This paper provides an overview of UNDS development, summarizes the results of UNDS Phase I, provides a summary overview of the preliminary approach for accomplishing UNDS Phase Il, and discusses implications for future naval engineering efforts.

Through a detailed Research and Development program, the U.S. Navy has developed a suite of shipboard solid waste management equipment enabling compliance with federal and international law. Four major equipment types have been developed to outfit twenty-seven classes of naval surface ships. The major equipment types are: Plastic Waste Processor (PWP), Metal/Glass Shredder (MGS), Large Pulper (LP), and Small Pulper (SP). The Navy is aggressively procuring and installing this equipment aboard all ships of FFG 7 Class and larger. A deadline of December 31, 2000 has been set for completion. engineering analysis and held waste generation studies were conducted to select the specific equipment suite and develop alteration documentation for each ship class. Specific factors in this process were: solid waste generation rates, equipment reliability analysis, ship arrangement considerations, daily equipment operation Limits, and shipboard quality of life issues. A solid waste management study was conducted in the fall of 1997 to validate Navy equipment and ship design parameters onboard the USS John C. Stennis (CVN 74). Generation rates for shipboard solid waste were determined for plastic, metal and glass, food, paper, cardboard, fabric and wood. engineering analysis of data allowed a decrease in CVN 68 Class design waste generation rates. engineering analysis enabled a reduction in the number of PWPs and MGSs required, and fewer spaces for efficient operation. Ship arrangement studies were conducted to optimize efficiency and equipment mix of Solid Waste Processing Rooms (SWPRs) relative to waste generation sites. This paper briefly articulates the process followed by the Navy in responding to regulations governing solid waste management in the marine environment. Evidence validating the engineering procedures followed is presented.

A prototype concurrent engineering tool has been developed for the preliminary design of composite topside structures for modern navy warships. This tool, named GELS for the Concurrent engineering of Layered Structures, provides designers with an immediate assessment of the impacts of their decisions on several disciplines which are important to the performance of a modern naval topside structure, including electromagnetic interference effects (EMI), radar cross section (RCS), structural integrity, cost, and weight. Preliminary analysis modules in each of these disciplines are integrated to operate from a common set of design variables and a common materials database. Performance in each discipline and an overall fitness function for the concept are then evaluated. A graphical user interface (GUI) is used to define requirements and to display the results from the technical analysis modules. Optimization techniques, including feasible sequential quadratic programming (FSQP) and exhaustive search are used to modify the design variables to satisfy all requirements simultaneously. The development of this tool, the technical modules, and their integration are discussed noting the decisions and compromises required to develop and integrate the modules into a prototype conceptual design tool.

Shah-Khan: currently a research scientist received his Bachelor of Engineering degree in Mechanical Engineering from Osmania University India in 1978. He took postgraduate work at Iowa State University receiving an M.S. degree in Metallurgy in 1981. In 1983 he joined University of New South Wales Australia and obtained the Doctor of Philosophy degree in Metallurgy in 1986. In 1986 he assumed his present position where he has been active in the research of fatigue and fracture of high strength naval construction steels in support of the Naval Ship Structure Research Program. His recent work has been in the development and application of techniques for the measurement of residual stress during the fabrication of a submarine hull. Dr. D. S. Saunders: B. Appl. Sc. (Hons) Adelaide Ph.D. Monash is a principal research scientist and has been involved in research into the fatigue and fracture behaviour of steels and aluminum alloys. He has worked on the development of fracture toughness specimens for artillery projectiles and rocket motors and has undertaken development and application of elastic-plastic fracture toughness techniques to high strength steels for military applications. More recently he has studied the fatigue behaviour of carbon fibre composite laminates for aircraft applications. Present research involves the application of composite materials to naval structures and the development of fracture mechanics methods which can predict fracture properties in materials under high rates of loading. Dr. Saunders is a member of the Institution of Engineers of Australia and is affiliated with the Materials Society and the Composite Structures Society of the IEAust. Mr. Ian A. Burch: Dip. Appl.

The design and development process prior to the fabrication of maritime structures such as merchant ships, naval surface ships and submarines include the specification of a range of materials required to perform under most adverse conditions of environment and operational loads. The damage tolerance and reliability of such structures can only be assured through appropriate materials selection, application of regorous testing methodologies and through-life inspection and monitoring. The importance of the consideration of damage tolerance and reliability of maritime structures can be gauged by the consequences of in-service failures;for example, the break-up of merchant ships resulting in environmental disasters, loss of lives and wartime damage of naval ships and submarines. Factors that lead to service failures include corrosion, fatigue, corrosion fatigue, low toughness and poor design, and often these factors occur in combination. The range of materials used in maritime structures is diverse and includes mild steel (ship) plate, micro-alloyed steels, aluminium alloys and monolithic and foam sandwich glass fibre laminates. These materials all have different responses to the environmental and loading conditions and consequently extensive materials testing programs are necessary to put damage tolerance and reliability indicators in place. This paper addresses the materials and testing aspects of damage tolerance and reliability assessment of maritime structures, and deals broadly with corrosion and corrosion fatigue testing;fracture toughness testing;measurement of residual stresses within the structure;damage assessment and life calculations. The paper discusses testing methodologies that obtain essential property data for various materials under a range of environmental and loading conditions. The paper briefly addresses the application of property data to the prediction of the behavior of maritime structures and components as well as application to life prediction

VIRTUAL PROTOTYPING USING KNOWLEDGE - BASED MODELING AND SIMULATION TECHNIQUES

引用

NAVAL ENGINEERS JOURNAL 1993年第3期105卷 201-212页

作者： SHEA, JG The Author:holds bachelor and master of engineering degrees in mechanical engineering a M.Eng. in engineering management and is currently fulfilling requirements for the M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in computer science at the University of Louisville. He is employed as program manager Phalanx Advanced Engineering Development at the Naval Ordnance Station Crane Div. NavSurfWarCen Louisville Ky. During his tenure with Phalanx Mr. Shea has contributed to system reliability improvement system performance upgrading and the development of the Phalanx HOL (RISC) Computer. Mr. Shea is a member of ASNE the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics Society for Computer Simulation International Test & Evaluation Association and the Military Operations Research Society.

Knowledge-based modeling and simulation bridges the gap between ''conventional'' artificial intelligence implementations (such as expert systems) and more traditional computer-aided design techniques. We are currently developing software, whose primary function is to capture a user-input design specification and produce a ''virtual'' rapid prototvpe in the form of executable rule-based code. This code can then be exercised either as an interactive part of a hardware-in-the-loop testbed simulator or as a component of an object-oriented ''behavioral'' simulation environment. While the Phalanx Testbed is the immediate beneficiary of this work, the techniques described have a wide range of application in the modeling of conceptual design and performance characteristics. This paper describes the system architecture and software tools that we are applying to generate virtual rapid prototypes for use in the Phalanx Testbed. Particular attention is paid to defining the intelligent knowledge-capture mechanisms and model generation methodologies that we are using to translate design knowledge and performance requirements into rule-based simulations. The object-oriented programming approach to the merging of ''new'' data with previouslv-captured and stored data is discussed, and the issues of verifying and validating prototypes generated using such partiallv ''reengineered'' models are examined. An application currently in use as an investigative prototype for testbed development, a simple position controller servomechanism used to control the azimuth angle of a target-tracking sensor, is used to illustrate the process.

NAVAL ENGINEERS JOURNAL 1993年第5期105卷 31-36页

作者： ROWLEY, UH SMITH, JL U.H. (Jack) Rowley:is vice president and director of engineering and logistics at Coast Engineering and Logistics Inc. (CEL). He has both a master of mechanical engineering and ocean engineer degree from MIT as well as a bachelor's degree in electrical engineering from University of Oklahoma. Co-founder of CEL in 1990 Mr. Rowley is a retired Navy engineering duty officer with extensive experience in program management engineering and logistics. Jack Rowley served his last Navy tour of duty from 1985 to 1990 as project officer for the Navy's successful Landing Craft Air Cushion (LCAC) Program. As the CEL director for both engineering and logistics he has used these principles in his own business and is a firm believer in the merits of full logistics and engineering integration into a joint organization. Mr. Rowley can be contacted in the CEL Slidell La. office at 504–643–9408 fax 504–643–9210. Jimmy L. Smith:is president and co-founder of CEL. Mr. Smith has over 25 years experience in the logistics arena and has previously served as logistics director for several major shipyards including Avondale Shipyards and Lockheed Shipbuilding. With all of his experience as a logistician Mr. Smith so firmly believes in and understands the merits of integrating engineering and logistics that he has handed over the reigns of logistics in his company to an engineer. Mr. Smith can be contacted in the CEL Corporate office in Biloxi Ms. at 602–392–0736 fax 601–392–9743.

Many successful military weapons programs are plagued by ''unsuccessful'' logistics documentation at the time of weapons system delivery. In effect, the engineering is complete but the logistics is lacking. In many cases, this is a result of engineering changes that complicate the logistics process and drive it further behind schedule to the point it cannot possibly ''catch up.'' Yet the finger is always pointed at the logistics process primarily due to a lack of understanding of how the engineering and logistics should be integrated. To ensure full integration, it is necessary to train engineers in the logistics process so that they fully understand their impact. In order to accomplish this, the chief engineer must also be responsible for the logistics department and its deliverables. This paper will not only look at the required training and how the departments should be integrated, but also the types of mandatory interaction that engineers and logisticians must have to understand each other's requirements and deliverables. Many decisions made properly at the engineering level can greatly minimize the impact on the logistician and this process. This will provide a better product delivered on time with proper logistics and at decreased cost. Only a trained engineer with full knowledge of logistics and full control over a joint engineering/logistics department has the ability to make this happen. The term ''integrated'' in ILS must include not only all logistics components, but also engineering.

UNDERWATER INSPECTION FOR WELDING AND OVERHAUL

引用

NAVAL ENGINEERS JOURNAL 1993年第5期105卷 37-42页

作者： MITTLEMAN, J SWAN, L John Mittleman:is a mechanical engineer at the Naval Surface Warfare Center Dahlgren Division Coastal Systems Station in Panama City Florida. His Primary Responsibilities are in the development of underwater nondestructive testing equipment for use by fleet divers and inspectors. He also performs research in the characterization of metal microstructure through ultrasonic scattering measurements. Mr. Mittleman received his BS from Cornell University in 1969 and science master's in ocean engineering from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1970. His research currently supports doctoral studies with Iowa State University. Mr. Mittleman received the American Society of Naval Engineer's Solberg Award in 1981 for his contributions to underwater ship hull inspection. Mr. Mittleman is a member of ASNE ASNT ASTM IoD Sigma Xi Tau Beta Pi and Phi Kappa Phi. Lisa Swan:is a mechanical engineer at the Naval Surface Warfare Center in Panama City Florida. She is involved in nondestructive testing engineering primarily in the underwater arena. Ms. Swan holds a bachelor of science in materials engineering from North Carolina State University. She is a graduate of the Federal Women's Executive Leadership Program. Ms. Swan is a member of ASNT.

Significant progress has been made in making underwater ultrasonic thickness gauging and magnetic particle inspections available to the fleet. Under sponsorship from the Naval Sea Systems Command, Director of Ocean engineering, Underwater Ship Husbandry Division (NavSea 00C5), the Coastal Systems Station has developed complete hardware packages supporting these two nondestructive test methods, and has introduced them to military inspectors at a shore intermediate maintenance activity, a destroyer tender, and a naval shipyard. Performance trials conducted prior to taking the systems to the field have been accepted by NavSea, Ships' Concepts Group, Materials Subgroup, Metals Division (NavSea 5142) as evidence that these inspections can reliably be performed underwater. Avenues for certifying specially trained divers and inspectors are being developed;for the first time the Navy will have all of the elements in place for underwater inspections satisfying the requirements of Mil-Std-271 (Requirements for Nondestructive Testing Methods) and the Naval Ships' Technical Manual Chapter 074. Underwater ultrasonic thickness gauging has also been slated for use in the fleet, as data from laboratory and field trials have consistently shown that reliable results can be obtained by a team comprising a certified topside inspector and a diver. In tests performed at the Ship Repair Facility (SRF), Yokosuka, underwater readings were compared to those taken in dry dock by SRF inspectors, and independently by contract inspectors. On the basis of approximately 800 locations, differences between the data sets were found to be randomly distributed, with a standard deviation on the order of 0.02''. This level of accuracy is largely sufficient to distinguish plate which will need replacement during overhaul, or plate which is thick enough to weld on.

MEASURES OF EFFECTIVENESS AS APPLIED TO MAINTENANCE PRACTICES

引用

NAVAL ENGINEERS JOURNAL 1992年第4期104卷 101-102页

作者： JACOBS, KS ELFONT, M PROCACCINO, V Mark Elfont Ph.D:. is head of the Engineering Analysis Staff at the Naval Ship Systems Engineering Station (NAVSSES). At NAVSSES Dr. Elfont developed the Ships Machinery Analysis and Reporting Technique (SMART) System that utilizes direct access to the Ships 3-M database to calculate the fleet performance of HM&E systems. The SMART process is an automated approach to performance trending and offers the in-service engineers and life cycle managers cost effective information on the performance of equipments and systems in the actual fleet environment. Prior to coming to NAVSSES Dr. Elfont was at the Naval Air Development Center (NADC) for 18 years with most of his service as program manager for various avionic weapon system developments. Dr. Elfont also spent three years as the business manager of a private telecommunication firm. Vincent Procaccino:is the measures of effectiveness coordinator within the Performance and Business Indicators Section of the Equipment Assessment and Alteration Department Naval Ship System Engineering Station (NAVSSES). Mr. Procaccino is responsible for developing processes and techniques for determining the effectiveness of condition assessment efforts primarily the Assessment of Equipment Condition (AEC) program. NAVSSES is the Navy's in service engineering agent for HM&E equipment and is currently pursuing several programs which are in the process of evaluating condition assessment of HM&E systems. The efforts include continuous on-line monitors and expert system applications. Prior to arriving at NAVSSES in December 1988 Mr. Procaccino received a bachelor of science degree in mechanical engineering from Penn State University in August of 1987. He then worked as a project engineer for a small manufacturing firm until his arrival at NAVSSES.

Recent developments in surface ship maintenance strategies have been advanced on the promise of achieving reduced maintenance costs and improving the availability of shipboard systems. Included in the melange of proposed solutions are the Phased Maintenance Concept, Condition Based Maintenance, Expert System Diagnostics, as well as many other variations of these notions. As programs are initiated to evaluate prototype systems, or in some cases install production units, it is crucial that effective measurement procedures be instituted to determine to what extent the respective program goals and objectives are achieved. This paper explores various data sources that offer potential application to evaluation of advanced maintenance concept effectiveness. Also examined are data analysis and reporting techniques to clearly identify the benefits gained from those activities. The authors feel that it is important that the process of effectiveness evaluation, while remaining an objective process, become a part of the maintenance process itself. Maximum use of existing databases and in-place data collection procedures is advocated.
