Ship Manning was
critical to our design, as we recognize the US Navy’s attempt to reduce
manning in future ship classes. Thus,
we took a human centered approach to our design, and leveraged from studies
conducted in the DD(X) and T-AKE programs. |

We drove down our
anticipated crew size by moving to the ideas of Reliability and Condition
Based Maintenance, and by fully incorporating automated systems whenever
possible. |
