3. “We are facing adversaries who possess significant military capabilities and aspire to be the equal of the United States. These nation states are improving their warfighting capabilities at a rapid pace, shrinking our competitive advantage, and redefining international norms to further their long-term goals. It is imperative we outpace them.”
VADM Thomas J. Moore
Commander, Naval Sea Systems Command
Quote is from page 2 of the NAVSEA Campaign Plan to Expand the Advantage 2.0 dated January 2019

4. NSRP Mission
Manage and focus national shipbuilding and ship repair research & development funding on technologies and processes that will:
Reduce the total ownership cost of ships for the U.S. Navy, other national security customers and the commercial sector
Develop and leverage best commercial and naval practices to improve the efficiency of the U.S. shipbuilding and ship repair industry
Provide a collaborative framework to improve shipbuilding-related technical and business processes
ASN RD&A Stackley quote:
“It is unacceptable that the development cycle of our major programs has evolved into a long, drawn-out series of development, design, build, test, and deliver phases that left of its own accord is unable to keep pace with the threat that has demonstrated our vulnerabilities and [continue] to do so in rapid fashion.” 
-Sean J. Stackley, ASN (RDA), 2014

Planning for Success
What industry need will your project meet?
Who can help you understand the scope of the problem?
Who can help you develop a solution?
What will project success look like?
What will be necessary to implement the solution?
Who will need to approve implementation? What will they ask for?
Can you leverage a past or current project?
How does your project fit into the shipbuilding plan?
Will another project be necessary?

Est. Cost Savings: $5.0M/hull
To Be Performed by Naval Shipbuilding & Adv Mfg (NSAM) Center
AI for Planning at EB ($550K / 18 months) … with ALICE Technologies
Concept
Planning for ship construction is a complex task. The ship’s build schedule spans years and entails millions of person hours in labor.
Between the lead ship and the follow on ships there is typically a substantial reduction in cost. Much of this reduction is a result of improved build plan.
The idea behind this project is to use Artificial Intelligence (AI) to arrive at an optimized plan prior to the construction of the lead ship.
Even with an assist from AI, the planning process depends on human ingenuity. This project will integrate design visualization with the planning tool to further improve the ship build plan.
AIP will build upon the internally funded Visual Build Sequence (VBS) which provides 3D graphics of EB’s schedule and status.
Benefit / Justification
System will generate a cost function per ship module which will be used to predict the cost/benefit of moving work between modules. This can be used for initial module planning.
Machine learning will be applied to planning improvements that reduce cost from lead ship to the initial follow ships. This will result in improved prediction capabilities.
This capability will benefit CLB platform but the approach could be applied to future platforms.
Deliverables
Integration of EB’s master planning data and detailed design product model with an AI planning engine
Ability to visual the overall construction plan (including inspection and test activities, which is a new capability).
An intelligent (and learning) planning tool that can evaluate changes in the module plan and improve itself over time.
Final report
Savings - $500K/hull
