Technical Authority
9
USS DOLPHIN
We were approximately 1 1/2 minutes from losing
ship.

• Root causes
• complacent technical work force
• no clear technical authority
• insufficient resources to watch

10
Accountability

• U.S.C. Title 10, Chapter 503, Section 5013
  Requires The Secretary of the Navy to execute
  Technical Authority
• Statutory requirement is delegated (for ships) to
  Commander, Naval Sea Systems Command by
  instruction
• To execute Technical Authority with due
  diligence, COMNAVSEA must ensure
• Safe operation of ships
• Ships meet mission need and are effective
• Are built and can be operated at minimum cost
  consistent with safety and mission effectiveness

11
Technical Authority Requirements

• Competency - Trained, qualified people,
  standards, design
  tools, leader/peer of Industry
• Independence
• Resources sufficient to the task

If you cannot discharge the inherently
governmental function of Tech Authority
correctly, then it is only a matter of time
before a major accident will occur. Not
if...when

Standards and Tools

• STANDARDS
• General Specifications for Ships
• NAVSEA Technical Manuals
• Ship Design Handbooks
• MIL-SPECs, MIL-STDs
• TOOLS
• Ship Design Tools
• Ship Motion Tools
• Structural Analysis Tools
• Shock, Vibration Analytical Models
• Signature Models

17
Industry Collaboration

• National Shipbuilding Research Program (NSRP)
• Ship Specifications
• MIL-SPECs, MIL-STDs
• Processes
• Ship Design Construction

18
Path to Naval Vessel Rules

• Fewer people
• Tools, specs, standards are out of date and
  getting worse
• New business model needed
• Giving up is not an option - Tech Authority is
  statutory
• More money is not an option
• How to fulfill responsibility with no additional
  funds or people ???
• Partial answer use American Bureau of Shipping

ABS/Navy Collaboration

• Extend and adapt ABS commercial process for
  application on non-nuclear combatant ships
• Develop classification rules suitable for
  combatants in coordination with USN Warrant
  Holders.
• ABS Navy seek shipbuilder input/review through
  existing ABS committee structure
• ABS publishes the NVR, but NAVSEA retains final
  approval authority over the content
• NAVSEA, PMs and ABS work cooperatively to develop
  implementing procedures

22
Bottom Line

• Navy will not give up Technical Authority
• ABS can and does act as adjunct to the Technical
  Authority
• Naval Vessel Rules allows the Technical Authority
  to keep the overall Technical Instructions up to
  date

23
Technical Authority Takeaways

• Still deploying
• Website http//www.navsea.navy.mil/maintenance/Se

• Warrant Holders are accountable
• Some pieces are at risk

NAVSEA Specifications Standards - Outline

• Definition of Standardization
• Spec Types and Users
• DoD Standardization Organization
• SEA 05Q Personnel
• Program History
• Issues

27
NAVSEA Specifications Standards

• are essential for Navy service life support,
  ship acquisition, and certification
• are required to provide safe and mission
  capable ships and systems for the Fleet
• are the basic ingredients of NAVSEA Technical
  Authority

28
NAVSEA Specifications Standards
Standardization is an enabling strategy to
provide the warfighter with interoperable,
reliable, and technologically superior
equipment. Specifications and Standards ... are
used for contract design, detail design,
conversion, modernization and acquisition of Navy
Vessels ... are used by the Government and
Industry ... are contractual technical
documents ... are used by INSURV for ship
check ... are used by DLA/Supply Centers for
procurement ... are used for logistics
support ... are driven by changes in technology
and the marketplace ... are not up-to-date

• Program Unique Documents (Ship Specs)
• Non-Government Standards (NGS)
• Commercial Item Descriptions
• Federal Specs and Standards

Program History - background

• The previous business model for maintaining specs
  and standards has ceased to function
• Central funding has been terminated
  (approximately 5M/yr OMN funds)
• Mission funded staff have been transferred to
  field activities
• The majority of specifications standards are
  not being maintained

34
STANDARIZATION DOCUMENT STATUS

• NAVSEA currently owns approximately 2400 active
  specs and standards
• DoD policy requires validation every 5 years
• Median document age exceeds 14 years
• In excess of 2000 documents currently require
  validation
• No validations completed in FY02
• New/revised document processing requests
• 500 document backlog at start of FY02
• 80 new requests submitted in FY02
• 180 documents completed in FY02

35
Specifications Standards - Top Issues

• Managing NAVSEA responsibility for specs
  standards without central funding line
• unable to accomplish requirements
• Supporting all ship acq programs with
  insufficient engineering resources
• Maintaining NAVSEA influence in non- government
  standards bodies

DOD 5000.1 (May 12, 2003)

•         Performance-Based Acquisition. To
  maximize competition, innovation, and
  interoperability, and to enable greater
  flexibility in capitalizing on commercial
  technologies to reduce costs, acquisition
  managers shall consider and use performance-based
  strategies for acquiring and sustaining products
  and services whenever feasible. For products,
  this includes all new procurements and major
  modifications and upgrades, as well as
  reprocurements of systems, subsystems, and spares
  that are procured beyond the initial production
  contract award. When using performance-based
  strategies, contract requirements shall be stated
  in performance terms, limiting the use of
  military specifications and standards to
  Government-unique requirements only. Acquisition
  managers shall base configuration management
  decisions on factors that best support
  implementing performance-based strategies
  throughout the product life cycle.

NAVY Technical Requirements Specification and
Standards Revitalization
Description/Requirements Funding What Changed?

• The purpose of the NAVSEA Technical Specification
  and Standards Revitalization Program is to ensure
  the adequacy and availability of military unique
  documentation required to design, build, and
  maintain Naval combatants and ship systems.
• Independent Technical Authority for Naval
  combatant ships and systems is dependent on the
  accuracy of Navy unique standard documentation
  and the maintenance of these documents.
• Although many military specific documents have
  been replaced by commercial standards 2500 Navy
  unique documents remain under the purview of
  NAVSEA.
• DoD requires the commercial practice of review
  and reissue to take place approximately every 5
  years.

Risk High
Safety Impact The neglect of Specs and
Standards is putting the Navy at risk from a
ship and personnel safety perspective.
Capability Impact Sea Enterprise Ships cost
more to build and maintain due to the lack of
currency of specs and standards.
Program Status Issues/Reason for Adjustment

• CNO expressed concern about the lack of a funding
  line for this Navy core equity during a visit to
  NAVSEA in SEP 03.
• The lack of up to date technical specifications
  and standards is a systemic cost driver that
  manifests on a daily basis throughout the Navys
  ship procurement and maintenance accounts and has
  been confirmed by the Acquisition and
  Shipbuilding community.
• The conscious neglect of these documents is
  tantamount to a Knowing Violation in the
  OSHA/EPA arena.
• Current and accurate documents are required for
  certifications.
• Many of these documents are applied to every ship
  and submarine design in the Navy and have not
  been reviewed or reissued in 12 years.

• Budget line was zeroed for FY-01and throughout
  the FYDP.
• Acquisition reform based privatization and
  commercialization did not negate the requirement
  for continuous Navy involvement in the adoption
  and maintenance process.
• Additionally, the Navy chose to develop Naval
  Vessel Rules through a cooperative agreement
  between NAVSEA and ABS to commercialize and
  improve upon the outdated Gen Spec.
• A new Technical Authority based Specs Standards
  Program model has been developed and is being
  implemented w/metrics.
