Book excerpt: The FY2006-FY2011 Future Years Defense Plan (FYDP) reduces planned DD(X) destroyer procurement to one per year in FY2007-FY2011 and accelerates procurement of the first CG(X) cruiser to FY2011. The Navy estimates that the first and second DD(X)s would cost more than $3 billion each to procure and that subsequent DD(X)s would cost $2.2 billion to $2.6 billion each to procure. These estimates are substantially higher than last year's estimates. The DD(X)/CG(X) program poses several issues for Congress, including issues related to the program's affordability, cost-effectiveness, and acquisition strategy. For a longer discussion of the DD(X) and CG(X), see CRS Report RL32109.1 This report will be updated as events warrant.

This book was released on 2005 with total page 92 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Navy in FY2006 and future years wants to procure three new classes of surface combatants a destroyer called the DD(X), a cruiser called the CG(X), and a smaller surface combatant called the Littoral Combat Ship (LCS). Congress in FY2005 funded the procurement of the first LCS and provided advance procurement funding for the first DD(X), which the Navy wants to procure in FY2007. The FY2006-FY2011 Future Years Defense Plan (FYDP) reduces planned DD(X) procurement to one per year in FY2007-FY2011 and accelerates procurement of the first CG(X) to FY2011. The FY2006 budget requests $666 million in advanced procurement funding for the first DD(X), which is planned for procurement in FY2007, $50 million in advance procurement funding for the second DD(X), which is planned for procurement in FY2008, and $1,115 million for DD(X)/CG(X) research and development. The budget requests $613.3 million for the LCS program, including $240.5 million in research and development funding to build the second LCS, $336.0 million in additional research and development funding, and $36.8 million in procurement funding for LCS mission modules. On April 20, 2005, Department of Defense (DOD) issued a decision deferring as premature a Navy proposal to hold a one-time, winner-take-all competition between Northrop Grumman's Ship System Division (NGSS) and General Dynamics Bath Iron Works (GD/BIW) for the right to build all DD(X)s. Several Members of Congress have expressed opposition to this idea. The Emergency Supplemental Appropriations Act for 2005 (H.R. 1268) as reported in the Senate contains a provision (Sec. 1119) that would effectively prohibit such a competition.

This book was released on 2007 with total page 41 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Navy is procuring a new kind of destroyer called the DDG-1000 (formerly DD(X)), and wants to procure a new kind of cruiser called the CG(X). Navy plans call for procuring 7 DDG- 1000s and 19 CG(X)s between FY2007 and FY2023. The first two DDG-1000s were procured in FY2007. The Navy wants to procure the first CG(X) in FY2011 and the second in FY2013. The Navy's FY2008 budget requests $2,802 million in procurement funding to complete the Navy's estimated procurement cost for the first two DDG-1000s, which are being split-funded (i.e., incrementally funded) across FY2007 and FY2008. The Navy's combined estimated procurement cost for the two ships is $6,370 million. The two ships received $1,010 million in FY2005 and FY2006 advance procurement funding, and $2,557 million in FY2007 procurement funding. The Navy's FY2008 budget also requests $151 million in advance procurement funding for the third DDG-1000, whose procurement cost the Navy estimates at $2,563 million. The DDG-1000/CG(X) program raises several potential oversight issues for Congress, including the accuracy of Navy cost estimates for the program, the program's affordability and cost effectiveness, the acquisition strategy for the third and subsequent DDG-1000s, and the program's potential implications for the shipbuilding industrial base. Potential options for Congress for the DDG- 1000/CG(X) program include supporting the Navy's proposed plans or curtailing the DDG-1000 and/or CG(X) programs and pursuing lower-cost alternatives to the DDG- 1000 and/or CG(X) designs. The House Armed Services Committee, in its report (H. Rept. 110-146) on the FY2008 defense authorization bill (H.R. 1585), recommended approval of the Navy's request for FY2008 procurement funding for the DDG-1000. The report recommended increasing the Navy's FY2008 request for research and development funding for the DDG-1000 program by $9 million for work on permanent magnet motor technology.

Options for Congress for the DD(X) program include approving the program as proposed by the Navy and supplementing the industrial base, if needed, with additional work; accelerating procurement of the lead DD(X) to FY2006 and the second DD(X) to FY2007; deferring procurement of the lead DD(X) to FY2008; procuring two or more DD(X)s per year; building DD(X)s at a single yard, or building each DD(X) jointly at two yards; terminating the DD(X) program now (or after procuring a single ship as a technology demonstrator), and supplementing the industrial base with additional work until the start of CG(X) procurement; and starting design work now on a smaller, less expensive alternative to the DD(X) and procuring this new design, rather than DD(X)s or CG(X)s, starting around FY2011. Options for Congress on the LCS program include shifting procurement funding for LCS mission modules to the Navy's ship-procurement account; procuring a few LCSs and then evaluating them before deciding whether to put the LCS into larger-scale series production; procuring LCSs at a rate of up to 10 per year; procuring LCSs at a rate of less than 5 per year; terminating the LCS program and instead procuring a new-design frigate; and terminating the LCS program and investing more in other littoral-warfare improvements.

Download or read book Salvaging American Defense written by Anthony H. Cordesman and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2007-04-30 with total page 489 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From grassroots terrorism to the nuclear ambitions of hostile nations, the United States faces increasingly complex threats to its national security. Combating these threats continues to demand a reshaping of the nation's security structure, military forces and defense expenditures. In this study, Anthony Cordesman offers a detailed analysis of critical challenges affecting U.S. national security and how failures in adapting to these challenges have exacerbated the strains on available resources. He systematically identifies the most glaring obstacles to successful national security planning and proposes constructive and practical ways to proceed in the future. Cordesman focuses on ten specific challenges, and each is addressed within the context of the Iraq War, Afghan War, War on Terrorism, and the risk of conflict over the Taiwan Straits. Out of the lessons drawn from these experiences, he examines the future of international coalitions, asymmetric warfare, nation building, and stability operations, and concludes that perhaps the most pressing area for change is the need for accountability among civilian and military policymakers.

Book excerpt: The Navy wants to procure three new classes of surface combatants -- the DDG-1000 (formerly DD(X)) destroyer, the CG(X) cruiser, and a smaller surface combatant called the Littoral Combat Ship (LCS). The Navy wants to procure 7 DDG-1000s, 19 CG(X)s, and 55 LCSs. The first two DDG-1000s are to be procured in FY2007, with each ship being split-funded (i.e., incrementally funded) across FY2007 and FY2008. The estimated cost of each ship is $3,291 million, for a total of $6,582 million. The FY2007 budget requests $2,568 million in procurement funding for the two ships. The Navy estimates that the next three DDG-1000s will cost an average of roughly $2.5 billion each. The Navy wants to procure the first CG(X) in FY2011. The first LCS was procured in FY2005, three more were procured in FY2006, and the Navy's proposed FY2007 budget requests $521 million to procure two additional ships. The Navy's FY2007 unfunded requirements list (URL) -- its "wish list" of items desired but not included in the FY2007 budget -- includes an additional two LCSs for an additional $520 million. The DDG-1000/CG(X) and LCS programs raise several oversight issues for Congress, including the affordability of the DDG-1000/CG(X) program and the acquisition strategies for both programs. FY2007 Defense Appropriations Bill (H.R. 5631). The House Appropriations Committee, in its report (H.Rept. 109-504 of June 16, 2006) on H.R. 5631, recommends approving the Navy's request for FY2007 DDG-1000 procurement funding to fully fund the procurement of one DDG-1000 rather than partially fund the procurement of the first two DDG-1000s. The report recommends approval of the $521 million requested for procuring two LCSs (page 141) and recommends increasing funding for LCS research and development work by $12.6 million above the requested amount (pages 239 and 250). The Senate Appropriations Committee, in its report (S.Rept. 109-292 of July 25, 2006) on H.R. 5631, recommends approving the Navy's request for FY2007 procurement funding for the first two DDG-1000s (page 115), and increasing the Navy's request for FY2007 DDG-1000 research and development funding by a net $1 million (pages 179 and 186). The report recommends funding the procurement of one LCS (rather than the requested two) in FY2007, and rescinding funding (in Section 8043) for one of the three LCSs procured in FY2006 (pages 114, 115-116, and 230-231). The report recommends increasing the FY2007 request for LCS research and development funding by $1.8 million (pages 177 and 185). This report will be updated as events warrant.
