DD21 Smart Product Model Development

Drawing on our experience with computer and mechanical systems engineering, this Trident/Intergraph team will develop an SPM environment based on a detailed assessment of DD21 program needs. Our approach will focus on integration of currently-used DD21 and Navy-standard toolsets to develop SPM specifications to address a broad scope of system development support requirements, and demonstrate the feasibility of our approach through an example problem. This demonstration will lay the groundwork for a full-scale implementation of the DD21 Smart Product Model for use by DD21 government-industry Integrated Product Teams. Development of infrastructure and unique toolsets to support a Smart Product Model encompasses a broad range of activity. Under Phase I of this SBIR, the Trident/Intergraph team will develop a methodology and foundational toolset to support limited capture, creation, and analysis of a Smart Product Model. Phase II will extend this SPM environment to support further activities in parallel with the system development activities associated with the DD21 program. Phase III of this SBIR will extend this SPM environment to support the broadest range of activities within the SBA framework.
