The Arleigh Burke class employs all-steel construction and is comprised of three separate variants or "Flights": DDG 51-71 represent the original design and are designated Flight I ships; DDG 72-78 are Flight II ships; DDG 79 and Follow ships are built or are being built to the Flight IIA design. The goal of the DDG modernization effort is to reduce workload requirements and increase war fighting capabilities while reducing total ownership cost to the Navy. Here are the specifications of this destroyer concept Type: Guided missile destroyer Displacement (fully loaded): 11500 t The selection of Lyndon B. Johnson honors the nation's 36th president and continues the Navy tradition of naming ships after presidents. 1,065 43. sciquest. Integrated Defense Systems segment in Tewksbury, Mass.
The Arleigh Burke: Linchpin of the Navy Asia-Pacific Defense FORUM Fall 1998 -- Boasting more firepower per ton than any other class of ship in the world, Arleigh Burke destroyers represent the futureof the U.S. Navy. Called TI 16 (Technical Integration), the added components are engineered to give Aegis Baseline 10 additional flexibility should it integrate new systems such as electronic warfare or laser weapons, according to Navy statements.Raytheon’s SPY-6 development is designed to align with the Navy’s existing Distributed Maritime Operations (DMO) strategy; the Navy’s DMO research and development approach, which has been progressing over the past year, is intended to better enable “localized sea control to generate larger combat effects through increasing the offensive power of individual components of the naval force,” as explained in a Get a daily look at what’s developing in science and technology throughout the world.This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten, or redistributed. Post Feb 08, 2012 #1 2012-02-08T16:03. DDG 1002 start of fabrication took place April 4, 2012. The destroyer's armament has greatly expanded the role of the ship in strike warfare utilizing the MK-41 Vertical Launch System (VLS).Technological advances have improved the capability of modern destroyers culminating in the Arleigh Burke (DDG 51) class replacing the older Charles F. Adams and Farragut class guided missile destroyers. Its new radar and fire control system, called Aegis Baseline 10, will enable the ship to combine air-warfare and ballistic missile defense into one system.The AN/SPY-6 radar, previously called Air and Missile Defense Radar (AMDR), is engineered to locate and discriminate several different tracks simultaneously, says Scott Spence, director for naval radar systems at the Raytheon Co. This synergy gives the system an ability to track and help destroy enemy drones, aircraft, cruise missiles and long-range incoming ballistic missiles.“A lot of this is in the back end in the digital processing, so it is a huge change. For today's warfighter, DDG 1000 fills an immediate and critical naval-warfare gap, meeting validated Marine Corps fire support requirements.The multi-mission DDG 1000 is tailored for sustained operations in the littorals and land attack, and will provide independent forward presence and deterrence, support special operations forces, and operate as an integral part of joint and combined expeditionary forces.

The goal is to not only arm surface ships with a new generation of highly sensitive, discriminating radar technology, but succeed in networking them to one another.With this technology, targets from beyond the horizon can be detected by one ship’s radar system, which can then share the “track” information with vulnerable ships miles away.
Arleigh Burke (DDG 51) and Zumwalt (DDG 1000) class destroyers, are warships that provide multi-mission offensive and defensive capabilities. In July 2014, Huntington Ingalls Industries (HII) delivered the DDG 1001 composite deckhouse to the Navy.In April 2012, DDG 1002 was named LYNDON B. JOHNSON by Secretary of the Navy Ray Mabus. What else is there to add? Digital is a big change from the analog of old days, which gives you a lot of the improved discrimination, sensitivity,” Hall said.Hall said this back-end digital processing and a radar suite controller operate in tandem with a next-generation X-band solid-state radar.“We are building the arrays for this ship. This is my concept for the 4th version of the US Navy's Arleigh Burke-class destroyer / Future surface combatant. The composite superstructure significantly reduces cross section and acoustic output making the ship harder to detect by enemies at sea. Length: 154 m: 190 m: Beam: 20 m: 24.6 m: Draft: 9.3 m: 8.4 m: Images. Sixty two ships are currently operating in the Fleet. It incorporates many upgrades, both in offensive firepower, defensive measures, sensors and stealth. Please check again soon. DDG 51-71 represent the original design and are designated as Flight I ships; DDG 72-78 are Flight II ships; DDGs 79-116 are Flight IIA ships in service, and will continue through DDGs 124 and 127. In-service ships can be modernized by two distinct packages Developed under the DD(X) destroyer program, the Zumwalt-class destroyer (DDG 1000) is the lead ship of a class of next-generation multi-mission surface combatants tailored for land attack and littoral dominance with capabilities that defeat current and projected threats. For other than authorized activities such as military exchanges and Morale, Welfare and Recreation (MWR) sites, the United States Department of Defense, the Department of the Navy does not exercise any editorial control over the information you may find at these locations. If they add everything they want to add then its going to be very expensive. Maybe some stabilized cannons for the dreaded 'small boats' scenarios that the USN seems so concerned about.
