Agenda

• Mandate for Commonality
• Basic Approach
• NAVSEA Commonality Initiative
• Moving Forward

Mandate for Commonality
Example Machinery Control Systems

• Every surface ship class has a unique MCS
• Several classes have multiple configurations
• DDG51, CG47, etc.
• 94 Unique VME cards across surface fleet
• 8600 Total Population
• 23 Unique Workstations
• Custom HMI Displays for each ship class

Non-Standardization Abounds
