## What project 3440 buys

This project provides the engineering development and program management effort required to sustain Non-Propulsion Electronic Systems (NPES) outfitting of each ship of the COLUMBIA Class throughout the duration of the 12-ship construction program. Non-recurring engineering activity is required to ensure specification compliant components are available for procurement as fleet common sub-systems, which evolve over the life of the program due to either competitive selection of new suppliers, component obsolescence replacement, increased technical performance, or improvements in reliability. Non-recurring engineering activity is needed to perform platform integration of the components, and software modification to accommodate electronic data exchange, COLUMBIA unique submarine environment qualification, and update of all logistics products.

**R-3 lines of work:** Product Development.

## What is NOT on this page

Congressional marks, the R-2 mission description and acquisition strategy, the industry vs government split of the whole request, and related program elements are recorded at **program-element** grain — an NDAA mark lands on a PE, never on a project.
