New Zumwalt Destroyer Packed with Smart Technology
Below its deck are some of the most advanced systems in the U.S. Navy. "This new destroyer combines numerous advanced technologies into a complete warfighting system, U.S. Navy Captain Jim Downey said. These capabilities shift the advantage to our sailors and the Navy fleet."
The ship is designated DDG 1000 and is the first in the three-vessel Zumwalt class. It is about to undergo sea trials.
The destroyer carries technologies that will benefit the Navy for years to come, most notably its Total Ship Computing Environment a single, secure network that controls everything from radars to weapons.
- Adaptable Launcher: a weapon system that combats any threat by modifying its canisters and controls to fire missiles of varying sizes.
- Ship Mission Center: a high-tech command center featuring state-of-the art consoles and communications equipment.
- Cooperative Engagement Capability: a networked system-of-systems providing situational awareness to the DDG 1000 crew.
- Electronic Modular Enclosures: a shipbuilding innovation that packages hundreds of computing cabinets into one pre-assembled, ready-to-install unit. (There are 16 EMEs on each ship.)
- The open-architecture design of the destroyer's computer systems and the ship's reconfigurable, all-electric integrated power system make upgrades easier as technologies and threats evolve.
