1. Leading Edge Architecture for Prototyping Systems An Overview

2. 2 Who wants product data… What data do they want … When do they want it?

3. 3 What is LEAPS? The NAVSEA Product Modeling Environment L eading E dge A rchitecture for P rototyping S ystems, is the product model repository used by the Naval Sea Systems Command. LEAPS is based on an extensible information meta-model. It is designed to provide product model data to support modeling and simulation tools used by Navy Ship Designers. The current focus is concept studies, analysis of alternatives, and operational scenarios.

4. 4 LEAPS … its more than just early stage design LEAPS will be the single source of authoritative data for all pre milestone B activities. LEAPS will be used by NAVSEA to support validation of the design as required to provide oversight during the detail design / Ship Production phase. LEAPS will be the authoritative source of data in support of the Situation Incident Room upon delivery of the ship. LEAPS supports the ENTIRE ships lifecycle.
