3.19 In-Service Engineering, Fleet Introduction, Installation and Checkout Support

NAVSEA SOW:

This functional area consists of the application of engineering, analytical, and technical disciplines and skills to establish and maintain long term engineering, operation, and maintenance support for in-service warfighting capabilities as well as the capability to modernize or introduce transformational technologies into those capabilities.

What:

ITE will provide physics based modeling services and software tools, application of engineering, analytical, and technical disciplines and skills to establish and maintain long term engineering, operation, and maintenance support for in-service warfighting capabilities as well as the capability to modernize or introduce transformational technologies into those capabilities.

How:

• ITE will draw on its experience in supporting NAVSEA, Carderock ( Philadelphia ) and ONR in creating advanced modeling techniques for the design, verification and validation of design based on current work on-going with ONR and its Ship Smart System Design (S3D) program.
  
• ITE will use physics modeling and engineering analysis services to complement the engineering efforts of NSWC and their support contractors. This obviates the requirement that NSWC purchase and maintain software, though they may. The work can be provided quickly on site but, even more effectively be performed by ITE off-site as was done on the LPD17 Program where nine major vital systems were modeled and analyzed using ITE services.
