8. Technical Authority

9. Root causes complacent technical work force no clear technical authority insufficient resources to watch We were approximately 1 1/2 minutes from losing ship. USS DOLPHIN

10. Accountability U.S.C. Title 10, Chapter 503, Section 5013 Requires The Secretary of the Navy to execute Technical Authority Statutory requirement is delegated (for ships) to Commander, Naval Sea Systems Command by instruction To execute Technical Authority with due diligence, COMNAVSEA must ensure –Safe operation of ships –Ships meet mission need and are effective –Are built and can be operated at minimum cost consistent with safety and mission effectiveness

11. Technical Authority Requirements Competency -Trained, qualified people, standards, design tools, leader/peer of Industry Independence Resources sufficient to the task If you cannot discharge the inherently governmental function of Tech Authority correctly, then it is only a matter of time before a major accident will occur. Not if...when

12. Engineering Organization Competency Requirements Technical Authority + Engineering Alignment + Personnel Development Model + Standards and Tools + Industry Collaboration = Competency

16. Standards and Tools STANDARDS –General Specifications for Ships –NAVSEA Technical Manuals –Ship Design Handbooks –MIL-SPECs, MIL-STDs TOOLS –Ship Design Tools –Ship Motion Tools –Structural Analysis Tools –Shock, Vibration Analytical Models –Signature Models

17. Industry Collaboration National Shipbuilding Research Program (NSRP) Ship Specifications MIL-SPECs, MIL-STDs Processes Ship Design & Construction

18. Path to “Naval Vessel Rules” Fewer people Tools, specs, standards are out of date and getting worse New business model needed Giving up is not an option - Tech Authority is statutory More money is not an option How to fulfill responsibility with no additional funds or people ??? Partial answer: use American Bureau of Shipping

19. Where Can ABS Help? GENSPECs Ship Spec Ship Spec Ship Spec Multi-Tiered Mil-Specs/Mil-Stds Classical Ship Specifications Here

20. ABS/Navy Collaboration Extend and adapt ABS commercial process for application on non-nuclear combatant ships Develop classification rules suitable for combatants in coordination with USN Warrant Holders. ABS & Navy seek shipbuilder input/review through existing ABS committee structure ABS publishes the NVR, but NAVSEA retains final approval authority over the content NAVSEA, PMs and ABS work cooperatively to develop implementing procedures

21. Spectrum Ship Types Disciplines T-Ships Nuclear Submarines Structures Warfare Systems

22. Bottom Line Navy will not give up Technical Authority ABS can and does act as adjunct to the Technical Authority Naval Vessel Rules allows the Technical Authority to keep the overall Technical Instructions up to date

23. Technical Authority Takeaways Still deploying Website: http://www.navsea.navy.mil/maintenance/Sea05C/TWP/TWPMain.asp Warrant Holders are accountable Some pieces are at risk

27. … are essential for Navy service life support, ship acquisition, and certification … are required to provide safe and mission capable ships and systems for the Fleet … are the basic ingredients of NAVSEA Technical Authority NAVSEA Specifications & Standards

28. Standardization is an enabling strategy to provide the warfighter with interoperable, reliable, and technologically superior equipment. Specifications and Standards:... are used for contract design, detail design, conversion, modernization and acquisition of Navy Vessels... are used by the Government and Industry... are contractual technical documents... are used by INSURV for ship check... are used by DLA/Supply Centers for procurement... are used for logistics support... are driven by changes in technology and the marketplace... are not up-to-date (median age 14 years) NAVSEA Specifications & Standards

33. The previous business model for maintaining specs and standards has ceased to function Central funding has been terminated ( approximately $5M/yr O&MN funds) Mission funded staff have been transferred to field activities The majority of specifications & standards are not being maintained Program History - background

34. STANDARIZATION DOCUMENT STATUS NAVSEA currently owns approximately 2400 active specs and standards –DoD policy requires validation every 5 years –Median document age exceeds 14 years –In excess of 2000 documents currently require validation –No validations completed in FY02 New/revised document processing requests –500 document backlog at start of FY02 –80 new requests submitted in FY02 –180 documents completed in FY02

35. Managing NAVSEA responsibility for specs & standards without central funding line –unable to accomplish requirements Supporting all ship acq programs with insufficient engineering resources Maintaining NAVSEA influence in non- government standards bodies Specifications &Standards - Top Issues

39. DOD 5000.1 (May 12, 2003) Performance-Based Acquisition. To maximize competition, innovation, and interoperability, and to enable greater flexibility in capitalizing on commercial technologies to reduce costs, acquisition managers shall consider and use performance-based strategies for acquiring and sustaining products and services whenever feasible. For products, this includes all new procurements and major modifications and upgrades, as well as reprocurements of systems, subsystems, and spares that are procured beyond the initial production contract award. When using performance-based strategies, contract requirements shall be stated in performance terms, limiting the use of military specifications and standards to Government-unique requirements only. Acquisition managers shall base configuration management decisions on factors that best support implementing performance-based strategies throughout the product life cycle.

40. 1 The purpose of the NAVSEA Technical Specification and Standards Revitalization Program is to ensure the adequacy and availability of military unique documentation required to design, build, and maintain Naval combatants and ship systems. Independent Technical Authority for Naval combatant ships and systems is dependent on the accuracy of Navy unique standard documentation and the maintenance of these documents. Although many military specific documents have been replaced by commercial standards 2500 Navy unique documents remain under the purview of NAVSEA. DoD requires the commercial practice of review and reissue to take place approximately every 5 years. NAVY Technical Requirements Specification and Standards Revitalization CNO expressed concern about the lack of a funding line for this Navy core equity during a visit to NAVSEA in SEP 03. The lack of up to date technical specifications and standards is a systemic cost driver that manifests on a daily basis throughout the Navy’s ship procurement and maintenance accounts and has been confirmed by the Acquisition and Shipbuilding community. The conscious neglect of these documents is tantamount to a “Knowing Violation” in the OSHA/EPA arena. Current and accurate documents are required for certifications. Many of these documents are applied to every ship and submarine design in the Navy and have not been reviewed or reissued in 12 years. Risk: “High” Capability Impact: Sea Enterprise – Ships cost more to build and maintain due to the lack of currency of specs and standards. Description/Requirements Funding – What Changed? Program StatusIssues/Reason for Adjustment Program Office Contact: Roy R Rogers, Command Standardization Executive, NAVSEA 05Q, 202-781-1805, RogersRR@navsea.navy.mil Safety Impact: The neglect of Specs and Standards is putting the Navy at risk from a ship and personnel safety perspective. Budget line was zeroed for FY-01and throughout the FYDP. Acquisition reform based privatization and commercialization did not negate the requirement for continuous Navy involvement in the adoption and maintenance process. Additionally, the Navy chose to develop Naval Vessel Rules through a cooperative agreement between NAVSEA and ABS to commercialize and improve upon the outdated Gen Spec. A new Technical Authority based Specs & Standards Program model has been developed and is being implemented w/metrics.
