Program detail
Mission & acquisition strategy
This Program Element (PE) directly supports the Navy's Shipbuilding Plan by providing for the development of engineering, programmatic and acquisition documentation including ship specifications (including performance specifications) and contractual documentation associated with acquisition of Navy ships. This PE also supports the Congressionally mandated Live Fire Test and Evaluation (LFT&E) program for new ship designs.
LHA 6 Advance Procurement (AP) and Long-Lead Time Material (LLTM) was awarded on a sole source basis to Huntington Ingalls Inc., formerly Northrop Grumman Shipbuilding, on 15 July 2005; LHA 6 Detail Design and Construction (DD&C) was awarded on 1 June 2007. The AP and LLTM efforts were subsumed by the Fixed Price Incentive, Firm Target DD&C contract. LHA 7 AP and LLTM was awarded on a sole source basis to Huntington Ingalls Inc., formerly Northrop Grumman Shipbuilding, on 30 June 2010; LHA 7 DD&C was awarded on 31 May 2012. The AP and LLTM efforts were subsumed by the Fixed Price Incentive, Firm Target DD&C contract.

Project detail
What project 2465 buys
This project provides the contract design, development, and testing efforts for the Amphibious Assault Ship General Purpose Replacement Program - LHA(R). The LHA(R) is a ship construction program designed to: (1) provide a functional replacement for the Amphibious Assault Ships which reached the end of their extended service lives (2) be a key platform in the Amphibious Readiness Group (ARG) of the future and (3) provide for an affordable and sustainable amphibious ship development program. LHA(R) ships will provide forward presence and power projection as an integral part of Joint, inter-agency, and multi-national maritime expeditionary forces. Additionally, LHA(R) will be designed to operate for sustained periods in transit to and operations in an Amphibious Objective Area to include the embarkation, deployment, and landing of a Marine Landing Force in an assault with landing craft, helicopters and tilt rotors (MV-22) supported by Joint Strike Fighters (F-35B).

FY2026 to FY2027 change Innovation engineering efforts for DDG MOD 2.0 will conclude in FY26 with the start of the first Depot Modernization Period (DMP) 2 which installs SPY-6(V)4 and High Efficiency Super Capacity (HESC) chillers.
FY2026 plans — current year Funding supports continued research and development efforts associated with complex design for the next generation and installation planning for DDG Modernization 2.0. Funds also support continued lab upgrades and NRE efforts for the next generation of Hull, Mechanical, and Electrical (HM&E) systems associated with DDG Modernization 2.0.
Project detail
What project 1803 buys
Provides for innovation in engineering solutions for the DDG Modernization program in support of delivering added Fleet capability within Depot Modernization Periods (DMPs). Efforts include development of ship's design (e.g. ship specifications and drawings), installation and test plans, and installation / duration analysis products to evaluate and inform installation alternatives and evolve existing design processes. Supports the development of specific Navy ship design criteria and standards for newly developed technologies, new safety regulations and environmental criteria, or other legal/Congressional requirements. Conducts ship survivability studies, superstructure integrity analysis, and other analyses in support of system integration efforts.

What project 9999 buys
The Circadian Lighting System project (CA65) is designed to address persistent readiness gaps identified by the Department of War (DoW) and the Government Accountability Office (GAO), which are caused by sailor fatigue and insufficient sleep. These issues have been shown to degrade decision-making and operational performance across the fleet. To close this gap, the Navy will deliver a fleet-ready circadian-targeted lighting system that integrates shipboard lighting retrofits, wearable sleep monitoring, individualized light-control algorithms, and secure cloud analytics. Structured training at the Surface Warfare Officers School (SWOS) and operational demonstrations will support validation and fleet adoption. This effort scales implementation across multiple ships and fleets, ultimately delivering an integrated, technology-enabled fatigue mitigation capability to enhance warfighter readiness.
