### Project 2464 — DD(X) Sys Design, Dev & Integration

The Zumwalt class destroyer (DDG 1000) program is developing the naval surface hypersonic strike capability, able to conduct independent forward deployed operations and prosecute deep-inland, time-critical, soft and medium-hardened targets in a contested environment. With the addition of surface hypersonic strike to legacy capabilities, Zumwalt will provide means to conduct Joint Surface Strike, deliver local area defense against air, surface and undersea threats, and incorporate signature reduction to operate in all threat environments. The Zumwalt class will have seamless Joint Interoperability to integrate all source information for battlespace awareness and weapons direction. The surface hypersonic strike capability, combined with the low observable characteristics of the Zumwalt platform, creates a uniquely lethal and survivable naval surface platform. The Zumwalt class supports the National Defense Strategy by supporting modernization initiatives for fielding hypersonic technologies and enabling a more lethal force. Overall, the Zumwalt class will enhance U.S. conventional power projection by providing an independent forward deployed strike platform, with longer range, shorter time of flight, and higher survivability against enemy defenses compared to current capabilities. The Acquisition Decision Memorandum signed by The Assistant Secretary of the Navy (Research, Development and Acquisition) (ASN(RDA)) directed PEO Ships to integrate Conventional Prompt Strike (CPS) into USS Zumwalt (DDG 1000) and USS Michael Monsoor (DDG 1001) by conducting a Building Yard Modernization Period (BYMP) and into USS Lyndon B. Johnson (DDG 1002) during new construction, prior to the ship's arrival in homeport, in order to maximize its fleet availability time. Full operational capability is achieved when the Zumwalt CPS Weapon System modernizations are completed, and all the three ships are turned over to the Fleet. The Zumwalt program strategy is to leverage the development efforts for a CPS capability on Virginia submarines, using a minimal integration solution to rapidly provide a surface hypersonic strike capability to the Fleet.

**Named R-3 performers** (share of this project's FY2027 R-3 total, so they need not reach 100%)**:** Lockheed Martin (40.6, 81%), RTX / Raytheon (3.0, 5.9%), PSS (2.0, 4.0%).

| Activity (R-2A) | FY2025 | FY2026 | FY2027 |

| Test and Evaluation | 33.2 | 4.8 | 5.3 |
| Management Services | 2.2 | 2.2 | 0.0 |

> R-2A activities carry the prior, current and budget year only — no five-year plan. Coverage is partial, so count them, never total them.

## Mission & acquisition strategy

The Zumwalt class destroyer (DDG 1000) program is developing the naval surface hypersonic strike capability, able to conduct independent forward deployed operations and prosecute deep-inland, time-critical, soft and medium-hardened targets in a contested environment. With the addition of surface hypersonic strike to legacy capabilities, Zumwalt will provide means to conduct Joint Surface Strike, deliver local area defense against air, surface and undersea threats, and incorporate signature reduction to operate in all threat environments. The Zumwalt class will have seamless Joint Interoperability to integrate all source information for battlespace awareness and weapons direction.

The DDG 1000 program strategy is to install CPS onto ZUMWALT Class in a Build Yard Modernization Period (BYMP) at Huntington Ingalls Industries (HII) in Pascagoula, MS. DDG 1000 will be the first ship modernized and arrived at HII in August 2023. Following DDG 1000, first DDG 1002 and then DDG 1001 will be modernized sequentially. DDG 1002 arrived at HII in January 2022 to begin its Combat System Activation (CSA) and will commence CPS installation in-line during CSA production prior to ship delivery. DDG 1001 is ordered last to maximize her operations by the fleet prior to commencing modernization.
