comprehensive engineering team consisting of engineers and designers skilled in
mechanical, structural, electrical, civil, marine, and material engineering disciplines,
naval architects, and material procurement professionals. This team is responsible for
implementing challenging solutions into major US Navy programs: FFG 7 Class, DDG 51 Class,
DD(X), and LCS Class ships. The group provides practical, technically-sound, yet
innovative and affordabl
e
solutions to engineering challenges for both existing ship classes and class upgrades, as
well as new advanced hull forms and ship designs.BIW’s engineering capability
ranges from advanced technology and concept development to first-of-class ship design,
where engineering and design is developed and 
maintained for an entire class of ships. BIW’s comprehensive support of
the DDG 51 design includes producibility and affordability accomplishments, as well as
major upgrades. The design process used for this upgrade marks the first time a surface
ship of the DDG 51’s complexity was designed entirely using CAD. Engineering activity
is supported by an Integrated Product Development Environment (IPDE).
