Introduction

A. Historical pattern of naval ship procurement

B. Market drivers—military needs, technical obsolescence, budget constraints, etc.

C. Impact of technology 1. Unit ship cost has risen vastly since 1960 2. Systems more important than platform 3. Electronics systems particularly growing in sophistication 4. Weapons are increasingly more lethal and accurate

D. Several important controversies 1. Surface ship usefulness being questioned 2. DOD trying to promote competition in procurement 3. Insufficient work to support shipbuilding industry

Description of Current Players

A. Shipbuilders 1. Major surface combatants—Bath, Ingalls, Todd-LA 2. Submarines—Newport News, GD-Electric Boat 3. Carriers—Newport News 4. Amphibious ships—Lockheed, Ingalls, Avondale 5. Auxiliaries—GD-Quincy, NASSCO, Avondale, Tampa, Beth Steel-Sparrows

Pt., Pennship 6. Small ships—Peterson, Marinette Marine, Bell-Halter, Todd-Seattle, Tacoma, others 7. Patrol boats, landing craft and service craft—Boeing, Swiftships, Atlantic Ma- rine, others

B. Ship systems manufacturers 1. Machinery—GE, Westinghouse, De Laval, Colt 2. Ordnance and Electronics—RCA, Litton, Sperry, GE Hughes, IBM, Raytheon,

FMC, Honeywell, Rockwell, Gould, ITT, Interstate Electronics, Motorola, San- ders, Magnavox, Singer, GD-Pomona, Lockheed, Martin Marietta

C. Engineering services 1. Naval architects—AME, Adtech, Arinc, CASDE, D&P, Geo. Sharp, Gibbs &

Cox, JJ Henry, JJMA, M. Rosenblatt, NKF, RAM 2. Systems integration—Vitro, BBN, Booz Allen, C Cubed, Calculon, Columbia

Research, EG&G, Essex, Milcom, ORI, Syscom, TRW, Westinghouse

D. Summary of recent work distribution 1. Top 200 contractors 2. Top 50 ship system awards 3. Top NAVSEA, NAVELEX, MSC engineering contractors

Procurement Process

A. Organizations in DOD which impact on procurement 1. OSD, SECNAV, CNO—how they relate 2. Material Command—role of "Competition Czar" 3. NAVSEA—role of SEA 06, 05, 02, PMS's—and SEA 08 4. NAVELEX—role of PME's 5. Planned reorganization, creation of Naval Combat Systems Command 6. MSC—contracting office for T-ships

B. The formal PPBS cycle 1. Why introduced, how it works, is it effective 2. Role of various DOD components, OMB, Congress

C. NAVSEA's seven phase acquisition process 1. Tied to PPBS cycle 2. Provides points at which design is frozen (supposedly!) 3. Makes early program entry important

D. Recent variants to acquisition process 1. Two step procurement 2. Build/charter

Projected Market

V. 4. AE, AG, AOE, AR—auxiliaries planned, maybe conversions 5. TAO, TAGOS—follow flight to be competed 6. MSH—opportunities for subcontractors, second source expected 7. Service craft—lots of opportunities

C. Analysis of major ship systems now being procured or planned 1. Ship mechanical systems—LM 2500 gas turbines (GE), reactor plants (GE,

Westinghouse), diesel engines (Colt, Isotta-Fraschini), pumps (Worthington), condensers (DeLaval) 2. Electronics—Aegis (RCA, Raytheon), control systems (Litton, GE), ASW sys- tems (IBM, GE, EDO, Gould, Hazeltine, Raytheon, Honeywell), radar (Raytheon, ITT-Gilfillan, Sperry, Cardion Electronics), SUBACS (IBM), navi- gation systems (Rockwell, Litton, Racel Decca), integrated radio room (RCA) 3. Ordnance—Vertical launch system (Martin Marietta, FMC), torpedoes (Gould, Hughes, Honeywell), ASW stand-off weapon (Boeing), close-in-weap- ons system (GD), missiles (GD, McDonnell Douglas, Lockheed, Raytheon)

D. Engineering services required in FY 1985 1. Conceptual feasibility studies 2. Preliminary design—repair ship (AR) 3. Program design and engineering support—LOE contracts 4. System integration support

E. Opportunities these programs offer 1. Prime contracts—numerous opportunities available, emphasis on competition will help 2. Subcontracts—many opportunities open to electronics firms, steel fabricators, pump manufacturers, machine shops and engineering firms 3. Foreign firms—offset deals are very important

F. Sensitivity to future events 1. Budget constraints—deficit will present increasing problem 2. Surface ships—vulnerability big issue, could impact plan
