2018 marks the second execution year of the NAVSEA Campaign Plan to Expand the Advantage. This Year-in-Review provides a broad overview of your incredible efforts to Expand the Advantage and achieve meaningful outcomes in a broad array of mission areas in FY18. Each and every member of the NAVSEA workforce plays a key role in our collective efforts to meet the NAVSEA mission to design, build, deliver, and maintain ships and systems on-time and on-cost for the U.S. Navy.

Progress in our Campaign Plan the past two years has followed a measured and logical approach. This has allowed us to make fundamental changes in priority areas while still meeting the day-to-day requirements of the fleet. Our first year formalized our vision, mission priorities, and foundational lines of effort. We identified objectives and established action plans with discrete initiatives to better align the enterprise to our vision. This past year we made significant progress in all areas of the Campaign Plan, demonstrating your amazing dedication, talent, and innovation. Still, much work remains.

At NAVSEA, we are constantly striving to advance in an era of great power competition. Using the National Defense Strategy and CNO's Design for Maintaining Maritime Superiority V2.0 as guidelines, we have reevaluated our foundations and methods to ensure our Campaign Plan provides focus on to-day’s mission priorities and through empowered leadership and your ingenuity, will allow us to achieve significant improvements in how we deliver warfighting capability to the fleet. The closing page of this document provides a preview of our updated Campaign Plan to Expand the Advantage 2.0. Once pub-lished, it will provide full detail of the why and what has changed from the 1.0 version.

As you review the many FY18 accomplishments presented in this document, take pride in your contri-butions to our mission, vision, and support to the warfighter and the greatest Navy in the world.

As always, thank you for what you do each and every day in support of this great Navy and great Na-tion. Keep Charging, Share What You Know, and Win Them All!

The SeaPort Program facilitates the acquisition of support services in 23 functional areas for the entire Department of the Navy. One major accomplishment was achieving Tier 1 status in OMB’s “Management” category. Tier 1 represents “Mandatory-Use Agency-Wide Solutions”, meaning dollars obligated in category management maximize the government’s shared purchasing power and eliminates redundancies, increases efficiency, and delivers more value and savings.

Starting in FY19, all SeaPort obligations will count for Tier 1 “Spend Under Management” (SUM) for the Navy; with annual SeaPort obligations of approximately $5.0 billion per year, this will greatly aid in achievement of DON and DoD goals for obligations actively managed according to category management principles-or smart decision-making where agencies buy the same kinds of goods and services through best value solutions.

This year marks the 50th anniversary of the NATO SEASPARROW Missile Project, an international weapon development

and acquisition program under the auspices of the Program Executive Office Integrated Warfare Systems.

In 1966, the United States approached NATO’s Conference of Naval Armaments Directors (CNAD) with a proposal for a shipboard self-defense system to counter the growing Anti-Ship Missile (ASM) threat. The NATO Naval Armaments Group (NNAG) approved the study’s recommendations to develop a combat system that would work with the existing U.S.-developed AIM-7 Sparrow missile with modified folding wings and clipped fins. The cooperative project began with just Denmark, Italy, Norway, and the U.S., but today it consists of 12 members: Australia, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, Germany, Greece, the Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Spain, Turkey, and the United States.

From ambitious beginnings five decades ago, the project has kept pace with new and evolving threats, and today, the Evolved SEASPARROW Missile (ESSM) represents the premier ship self-defense capability for sixteen allied navies and exemplifies the concept of NATO’s approach to Smart Defense

initiatives. It is the largest and longest running cooperative weapons project in NATO’s history.

The Project Office, headquartered in Crystal City, Virginia, is staffed by military and civilian personnel from all twelve nations of the SEASPARROW Consortium. They are responsible for overseeing the life cycle support of their flagship product, the ESSM Block 1 missile, and for managing the development of its successor, ESSM Block 2. In a recent communique to the project office, the Honorable Jens Stoltenberg, Secretary General of NATO had this to say:

“…by any standard, SEASPARROW’s success and longevity has been impressive. It is a testament to the commitment of our nations to achieve a common goal. This level of cooperation is not easy, but the SEA SPARROW team have shown that the results are worth the effort. The challenge for today’s leadership is to renew the vision of your predecessors, to continue your commitment to excellence and to look for new opportunities to work together for the benefit of all of us.”

The entire NAVSEA Team joins in congratulating the men and women of the SEASPARROW Project for a job extremely well done.

The National Shipbuilding Research Program (NSRP) is a collaboration between the Navy and the U.S. ship building and repair industry that is focused on reducing total ownership costs for the Navy, other Government customers, and commercial customers.This collaboration is guided by a Joint Funding Agreement between the Navy and the NSRP Executive Control Board.

▪ 2018 saw the first new NSRP Joint Funding Agreement (JFA) since 1998. The new JFA will result in a more robust project portfolio, better transition of project results, and more efficient use of financial resources. These improvements will help the industry build and maintain the 355 ships of our future Navy.

The High Deposition Welding in Shipyards project expects to achieve a significant reduction in welding costs by adding induction heating to a traditional arc welding process.

The Standardization of Watertight Closures project can benefit 85% of Navy ships by reducing the logistics challenges of maintaining and repairing the current large variety in watertight doors.

FY18 Accomplishments

Manage and focus national shipbuilding and ship repair research and development funding on tech-nologies and processes that will reduce the total ownership cost of ships for the U.S. Navy, other national security customers and the commercial sector, and 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 pro-cesses.

Power System Models


Delivery of two first-of-kind DDG 51 Flight III AG9160RF Genera-tor Sets to NSWCPD LBES to support electric plant integration testing.

Delivery of two Air and Missile Defense Radar (AMDR) Power Conversion Modules (PCMs) to NSWCPD LBES to support electric plant integration test-ing; this critical component will power the radar on DDG 51 Flt III and is critical to the warfight-ing capability of the ship.

The Royal Navy developed the “Flywheel Energy Storage System” (FESS) from Formula One Racing technology incorporating multiple small flywheels. Lacking adequate test facilities in the United King-dom, the Electric Ships Office (PMS 320) in PEO Ships completed Power-Hardware-in-the-Loop testing at Florida State University’s Center for Advanced Power Systems demonstrating laser system power quality in an emulated DDG 51 power system. Results were incorporated into efforts at Sandia National Laboratories where a 15% reduction in energy storage for laser operations was realized while employ-ing advanced power system controls. FESS offers an alternative to batteries as a power supply for lasers and other high-pulse loads. The success of this demonstration sets the stage for development of larger scalable flywheels for USN ships in the future.

Throughout FY18, the high-performing Culture of Affordability (CoA) team planned and executed to the Com-mander’s Mission Priority 2 intent of fostering affordability throughout the enterprise. The CoA Team socialized affordability and innovation initiatives established by our enterprise commands, field activities, and shipyards; identified barriers to innovation in our products, processes, and day-today business; and promoted increased focus on cost judiciousness, continued growth in our workforce affordability awareness, and continually sought opportunities to more affordably build, acquire, and maintain our ships and ship systems.

Mission Priority 2: Culture of Affordability

In NSWC Port Hueneme Division’s 3D Print Shop, Laboratory Technician Scott Sander examines a 3D-printed model of a common ship part known as a But-terfly Valve. The model is used to provide classroom and desktop training to Sailors, allowing them to gain valuable hands-on experience with parts not other-wise practical or accessible for training.

3D Printing supports training

The Self Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA) used onboard U.S. Naval ships for fire fighting and damage control requires monthly maintenance, which after drills includes inspect-ing, testing and sanitizing. Naval Surface Warfare Center Panama City Division has developed a SCBA Mask Mounted Regulator(MMR) Test Tool

that eliminates the sanitizing requirement for SCBA not involved in drills. The SCBA MMR Test Tool reduces Fleet maintenance labor hours for SCBA monthly maintenance by 33%, resulting in a cost avoidance of $1.3M in its initial year and $1.4M in the follow-on years.

Self Contained Breathing Apparatus Tool

The Naval Surface Warfare Center Panama City Division (NSWC PCD) re-purposed the Versatile Exercise Mine System (VEMS) Target Hulls for Navy Instrumented Threat Target (NAVITTAR),

The Mark 13 target is a cylindrical shaped Versitile Exercise Mine Sys-tem (first photo). The second photo illustrates the Mark 14 target’s coni-cal shape.

VEMS and NAVITTAR for Culture of Affordability

which qualified the endeavor as Continuous Process Improvement Manage-ment System, No. DON025573. NSWC PCD’s innovative In-Service Engi-neering Agent Overhaul and Reconditioning restoration efforts developed Ready-for-Issue target units that support NAVITTAR production lot efforts. As a result, NSWC PCD lowered the cost and increased the reliability of a piece of equipment that will serve a vital role in supporting and maintaining Fleet Exercises. This milestone achievement has earned the U.S. Navy an esti-mated $40 million in benefits.

The NAVSEA workforce contin-ues to demonstrate they are great innovators and, as an Enterprise, we have made significant strides in the pace of our learning through both increased awareness and im-proved sharing and collaboration across communities of practice. We have adopted new and varied networking tools as primary ways of “sharing” across the Enterprise. For example, there are more than

• Through collaborative effort, the 3 Planning Activities completed development of the “Mainte-nance & Ship Work Planning (MSWP)” system which streamlines planning and increases mainte-nance guidance commonality to improve execution efficiency; this life cycle management tool will “Go Live” in FY19 and will govern maintenance and modernization on all numbered fleets from “cradle to grave”; the system is currently set to house and schedule requirements throughout the service life for 278 hull to include:

• 66,000 maintenance requirements• 2.8 million maintained platform components• 1.9 million scheduled requirements

High Velocity Learning across the Enterprise


30,000 NAVSEA users of InFusion and the number is growing every-day. We updated the NAVSEA Ex-pand the Advantage Wikipages containing the strategic and com-munications plans, training resourc-es, and new digital signage material for use across the Enterprise. We established the NAVSEA HVL Com-munity of Practice to share success stories and best practices from and throughout the Enterprise as “One

NAVSEA.” As quoted by Dr. Ste-ven Spear: “High Velocity Learning is the solving of everyday irritants, frustrations, and workarounds in incredibly complex work environ-ments through an HVL process of discovery, learning, ideas, improve-ments, innovations, and invest-ments.” All of these things with the support and innovation of the NAV-SEA workforce lead to the quality outcomes expected of NAVSEA.


The two top leaders of Naval Sea Systems Command (NAV-

SEA) book ended the first high-velocity learn-ing (HVL) summit to show their commitment to HVL, one of the pillars of the NAVSEA Campaign Plan to Expand the Advantage.

Jim Smerchansky, executive director for NAVSEA, opened the HVL summit held at Na-val Surface Warfare Center (NSWC), Card-erock Division in West Bethesda, Maryland, May 15-16, 2018. NAVSEA Commander Vice Adm. Thomas Moore closed the event, which brought representatives of NAV-SEA commands together to discuss HVL tools, suc-cesses and opportunities.

With similar messag-es about the importance of high-velocity learn-ing, both men described the need to increase the United States' capabili-ties over its adversaries. The country is in an era of great power competi-tion, namely with Russia and China, and according to both Smerchansky and Moore, NAVSEA's vision to "expand the advan-

tage" means contributing to the overall effort of the Secretary of Defense's National Defense Strat-egy to broaden that capa-bility gap.

"High-velocity learning is about mission accom-plishment," said Smer-chansky. "Our obligation, our mission to the Navy and the nation is to de-liver and provide warfight-ing systems and ships to the men and women of the country to never al-low them to be in a fair fight. Our obligation to our workforce is to provide meaningful work and the right tools they need to be successful."

During the summit, which included remarks by Rear Adm. Doug Small, Program Executive Office Integrated Warfare Sys-tems, the attendees were able to experience their own "swarm." NAVSEA's PMS 392 (Team Subs) identified three challeng-es they have, specifically in modernization, acquisi-tion and maintenance.

"We use these phi-losophies in hopes of becoming a true learning organization," said Jana Patterson, a senior acqui-

sition product engineer for Team Subs. "We are try-ing to figure out how to not only increase the through-put of modernization, but to improve upon our main-tenance situation, the pro-cesses already in place."

"We are looking for ideas on how to empower that level of personnel out at the shipyards, whether they be private or govern-ment, to identify issues," said Patterson.

The attendees split into three groups and spent about 45 minutes brain-storming the issues pre-sented by Team Subs, working towards possible solutions, which is pre-cisely what "swarming" is. They then came back together to share their re-sults. Even though most of the people in the groups did not work in the sub-marine world, it was their own experiences that led to the possible solutions.

Patterson came away with several ideas, which she said she will take back to her work environ-ment and see if there are opportunities to incorpo-rate some of the possible solutions.

The idea of HVL is not only improving processes by seeing the problems and swarming them for solutions, but it's also about sharing across the enterprise so the work-force is working smarter and continuing to expand the advantage.

"If you can't spend a lit-tle bit of time doing strate-gic planning, high-velocity planning on what the fu-ture workforce needs to look like, then we are kind of doomed to do what

we've been doing over and over again," said Don McCormack, executive director for NSWC and Naval Undersea Warfare Center.

A common theme at the summit was communi-cation as a barrier to high-velocity learning.

"The biggest challenge I have every day is ef-fectively communicating to a workforce of 75,000 people," said Moore, ac-knowledging that sharing is going to naturally be the hardest part about HVL. "But if we really want to be a high-velocity learning organization, we have to be able to communicate and get it down to where it's culturally important for us to be working on this; it has to become second nature."

Moore said he expects the attendees of the HVL summit to become the change agents, relying on them to force the culture to change.

"The high-velocity learning piece is probably the most key element to eventually getting to the vision to expanding the advantage," said Moore.


For two days, Mr. Smerchansky and Vice Adm. Moore bookended the first High Velocity Learning (HVL) Summit to show our commitment to HVL, one of the foundational lines of effort of the NAV-SEA Campaign Plan to Expand the Advantage. Representatives of NAVSEA commands came together to discuss HVL tools, successes and op-portunities.

They spoke to the importance of HVL and the need to increase the U.S. Navy's capabilities over its adversaries. We are in an era of great power competition, namely with Russia and China. NAV-SEA's vision to "Expand the Advantage" means contributing to the overall effort of the National Defense Strategy to broaden that capability gap. They noted that HVL is about mission accomplish-ment. Our obligation, our mission to the Navy and the nation is to deliver and provide warfighting systems and ships to the warfighter to never al-low them to be in a fair fight. Our obligation to our workforce is to provide meaningful work and the right tools they need to be successful.

Creating a culture of communication

NUWC Newport hosted the 2018 Advanced Na-val Technology Exercise (ANTX) Human Machine Interaction Aug. 29-31, 2017. ANTX is an annual multi-day event originally created by NUWC Division Newport to demonstrate future Navy technologies in action today. Naval warfare centers, universities and in-dustry partners were invited to showcase their latest unmanned systems and related technologies. ANTX provided a low-risk environ-ment in which scientists and engineers evaluated their technological innova-tions at the research and development level before they become militarized and integrated at the opera-tional level thus providing a glimpse of tomorrow’s technologies.

ANTX 2018 was the larg-est ANTX event hosted at NUWC Newport in terms of the number of participants, vehicles, and technologies since the exercise series began in 2015. This exer-cise involved more than 55 participants from industry, academia and government as well as fleet personnel who provided critical feed-back to participants.

The In-Service Engineering Agent of the future event: More than 300 military, civil-ian, industry, and academia representatives convened in Port Hueneme, Calif., Aug. 21-22 to rapidly advance the role of in-service engineer-ing agents (ISEA), driving readiness to America’s Navy. The two-day event launched a series of oppor-tunities for subject matter experts from across the nation to collaborate and innovate in the areas of sustainment engineering, logistics, and test and evalu-ation, driving readiness to America's Navy.

Cross-Naval Research and DevelopmentEstablishment Collaboration Forum

More than 200 science and technology representatives – primarily from the NAVSEA Warfare Centers, Office of Naval Research and Naval Re-search Laboratory – met at the first NAVSEA-sponsored Naval Research Development (NR&DE) Establishment Collaboration Forum held July 31 to Aug. 1 at NSWC Carderock. As the pace of technology accelerates, so, too, does the need to accelerate technology development and deliv-ery to the warfighters. Presenters talked about the areas in which they are investing money, specifically briefing projects that fall under Naval Innovative Science and Engineering (NISE)/Section 219 funding, seek-ing opportunities to work together in various focus areas. Other invest-ment resources, such as In-house Laboratory Independent Research, also were discussed. The Collaboration Forum is intended to be the first of a series of recurring Naval Research & Development Establishment (NR&DE) events, likely expanding to more broadly involve other systems commands, including Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR) and Space and Naval Warfare Systems Command (SPAWAR).

The Mark 29 Mixed Gas Re-breather — a new prototype sys-tem that’s the first of its kind within the Navy diving community, was developed by NSWC Panama City.

The technology is sponsored by the ONR Global TechSolutions program. TechSolutions is ONR Global’s rapid-response science and technology program that develops prototype technologies to address problems voiced by Sailors and Marines, usually within 12 months.

Test results suggest this sys-tem will be a major asset to Navy divers-who cannot only perform

Mark 29 Mixed Gas Rebreather enables longer divesmore dives, but also stay underwa-ter longer if surface supply gas is interrupted.

The Mark 29 even reduces breathing noise and fogging of helmet view ports. It’s also the first piece of Navy diving equipment to feature 3D-printed titanium tub-ing that connects hoses from the helmet’s breathing manifold to the regulator backpack. That titanium reduces the risk of breathing hoses being sliced by sharp or jagged underwater objects.

The idea for the Mark 29 came from a NSWC Panama City master diver, who contacted TechSolu-

tions seeking a way to reduce helium consumption while using newly available rebreather tech-nology. Recognizing the expertise of Camperman and his team, TechSolutions asked them to develop the Mark 29. Camper-man’s research team will conduct further Mark 29 tests this year-and hope to see the rebreather issued throughout the fleet by next year.
