Raytheon Company has successfully completed the mission system design readiness review for the Zumwalt-class destroyer program.
The review confirmed that the mission system design for America's new multi-mission destroyer is mature and meets US Navy requirements. To date, Raytheon Integrated Defense Systems (IDS) and the Zumwalt National Team have completed more than 2.7 million lines of software code and 10,127 drawings, conducted detailed design reviews of 92 per cent of the programs detail design and integration elements, and transitioned 56 per cent of those elements to production. Raytheon has also completed extensive land-based and onboard-ship testing of the prototype dual band radar. "The team has done an outstanding job to ensure the mission system design meets the end-to-end requirements and is producible and affordable," said US Navy Captain James Syring, Zumwalt program manager. "I was very impressed with the design maturity of the mission system and its readiness for production." The review focused on Zumwalt's mission systems, providing a status and technical assessment of the hardware, software and crew design. The review included an in-depth assessment of Zumwalt's advanced mission area capabilities, including air defence and land attack. It also included surface, information and undersea dominance, all enabled by Zumwalt's open architecture design, surveillance, engagement and mobility capabilities, and high level of stealth.
