Technical Authority

Root causes

• complacent technical work force

• no clear technical authority

• insufficient resources to watch

We were approximately 1 1/2 minutes from losing ship.

USS DOLPHIN

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

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.

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

Industry Collaboration

• National Shipbuilding Research Program (NSRP)

• Ship Specifications

• MIL-SPECs, MIL-STDs

• Processes

• Ship Design & Construction

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• Tools, specs, standards are out of date and getting worse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

Where Can ABS Help?

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

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

Technical Authority Takeaways

• Still deploying

• Website: http://www.navsea.navy.mil/maintenance/Sea05C/TWP/TWPMain.asp

• Warrant Holders are accountable

• Some pieces are at risk

NAVSEA Specifications & Standards - Outline

… 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

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 (median age 14 years)

Standardization Organization

• The previous business model for maintaining specs and standards has ceased to function

• Central funding has been terminated (approximately $5M/yr O&MN funds)

• Mission funded staff have been transferred to field activities

• The majority of specifications & standards are not being maintained

Program History - background

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

• 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

Retain as Detail Performance Commercial Maintenance Only

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.

• 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.

NAVY Technical Requirements Specification and Standards Revitalization

• 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 Navy’s 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.

Risk: “High”

Capability Impact: Sea Enterprise – Ships cost more to build and maintain due to the lack of currency of specs and standards.

Safety Impact: The neglect of Specs and Standards is putting the Navy at risk from a ship and personnel safety perspective.

• 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.
