The DDG 51 Class Ship Control System (DDG-SCS) consists of four major components that enable the ship to perform steering and propulsion control operations. These system components are the Ship Control Console (SCC; Qty 1), Aft Steering Unit (ASU; Qty 1), On Board Trainer (OBT) Equipment Rack (Qty 1) and the Local Control Unit (LCU; Qty 4). The US Navy’s goals are to establish a standard Ship Control System design and configuration across all ship platforms. The DDG-SCS design will establish a more common baseline and leverages a standard user interface that is being implemented throughout the fleet via either installation at new construction or during DDG modernization.

This requirement would include, in part, engineering for solutions to integrate required hardware, but a majority would be both manufacturing and documenting the final design along with working with the Government personnel to address any system modifications needed. The requirement would not be a design a system from scratch, nor would it be a fully build-to-print; rather, it would be a collaboration with the Government to adapt a proven system architecture for the DDG-51 Class specific needs that would result in the manufacturing of that product.
