A. (U) MISSION DESCRIPTION AND BUDGET ITEM JUSTIFICATION: The SEAWOLF submarine will be a multi-mission ship that will introduce unprecedented performance capabilities. It will be the quietest, most heavily-armed attack submarine the Navy has ever built. The design of the SEAWOLF is based on an extensive research and development program and will incorporate technological advancements to provide: order of magnitude improvement in ship quieting; improved acoustic sensors; more capable combat systems; greater weapon capacity and capability; quieter launch; weapon launch at high ship speed; advanced reactor; improved performance machinery program; an advanced propulsor; increased operating depth; improved ship control; and enhanced survivability.
(U) JUSTIFICATION FOR BUDGET ACTIVITY: This program is funded under ENGINEERING & MANUFACTURING DEVELOPMENT because it encompasses engineering and manufacturing development of new end-items prior to production approval decision.
(U) PROGRAM ACCOMPLISHMENTS AND PLANS: The following information is intended to highlight major Research and Development (R&D) efforts and does not include all SEAWOLF R&D efforts.
1. (U) FY 1996 ACCOMPLISHMENTS:

(U) CHANGE SUMMARY EXPLANATION:
(U) Funding: The FY 96 decrease of $1,408K is a result of BTR 96-09 CNO PA&E (-$32K),Jordian Recission (-$125K), Program Adjustment (-494K) and FY1996 SBIR Transfer (-757K). The FY 97 decrease of $4,407K is a result of FFRDC/Non-FFRDC (-645K), Navy Working Capital Funds (-1,838K), General R&D (-1,838K) and Canceled Appropriation (-86K). The FY 98 increase of $17,192K is to complete post PSA trials, start DT/OT planning and test execution and analysis, complete development certification and final software configuration of NPE systems and complete PSA installation of ASHT, qualification and inspection. The FY 99 increase of $3,838K is to complete DT/OT planning and test execution and analysis, re-engineering and correction of opeval/techeval deficiencies in NPE systems, re-engineering and design to correct acoustic deficiencies, and complete final analysis of trial results.
