Abstract

ABSTRACT Digital transformation – the pervasive incorporation of digital technology into virtually every process and system – is arguably the greatest force of change within the naval engineering community. Digital innovation is disrupting traditional ship design paradigms and giving rise to new ways of modernising and sustaining a future integrated force structure. This paper highlights digital transformation as a core strategic initiative that is aligned with the U.S. Department of Defense Digital Engineering Strategy. Recognising the need to expand the U.S. Navy’s advantage over its competitors, this paper identifies foundational elements required to transform current engineering design and development processes. Next, a multi-factor framework is introduced to align traditional processes employed for physical system design and development with a new digital paradigm in recognition of the highly integrated nature of Model Based Systems Engineering (MBSE). Finally, discussion will focus on efforts underway to leverage advanced computational models and highlight the digital engineering use case for Naval Power and Energy Systems (NPES).

数字工程：扩大优势

数字化转型——将数字技术普遍融入到几乎每一个过程和系统中——可以说是海军工程界变革的最大力量。数字创新正在颠覆传统的船舶设计范式，并产生了现代化和维持未来综合力量结构的新方法。本文强调数字化转型是与美国国防部数字工程战略相一致的核心战略举措。认识到需要扩大美国海军对其竞争对手的优势，本文确定了改变当前工程设计和开发过程所需的基本要素。接下来，介绍了一个多因素框架，将用于物理系统设计和开发的传统过程与新的数字范式结合起来，以识别基于模型的系统工程(MBSE)的高度集成性质。最后，讨论将重点关注正在进行的利用先进计算模型的工作，并强调海军动力和能源系统(NPES)的数字工程用例。
