Introducing
SPEED TO STEEL™
SPEED TO STEEL™ is a bespoke campaign developed by Tridentis that incorporates several ship design, acquisition, and construction initiatives that are focused on accelerating design and production.
SPEED TO STEEL™ is already being utilized on multiple Government shipbuilding programs to dramatically improve program outcomes.
The Challenges of Legacy Shipbuilding
The U.S. Navy and other Government shipbuilding programs have experienced numerous challenges in meeting established program schedules.
Despite clear strategic signals and pressures demanding acceleration and scaled production, the Government has largely failed to implement reforms to traditional naval ship design, construction, and acquisition approaches.
Government customers are desperate for truly innovative approaches that can meet the pace the strategic picture demands.
Pioneering a Renaissance in Naval Shipbuilding
Through our bespoke SPEED TO STEEL™ program, Tridentis helps Government customers directly confront obstacles to accelerated ship design and production.
We employ radical, transformative approaches that challenge legacy thinking and reshape what is possible.
Our solutions are tailored to specific shipbuilding programs and their unique goals and circumstances, providing a next-generation path to desired program outcomes.
SPEED TO STEEL™ Initiatives
-
Measures that streamline requirements development, provide flexibility, and ensure future integration of new technology and systems.
-
Modernize design processes, restore Government control over design, and better integrate design and production teams.
-
Resequence the engineering effort and alter engineering priorities in ways that improve program schedule and outcomes.
-
Leverage Government authorities and modernized acquisition methodologies and improve the balance of power between Government and builder.
-
Dramatically expand national productive capacity and demolish legacy production bottlenecks.
What SPEED TO STEEL™ Is:
Fully customizable
Accelerates the timeline to start construction
Reduces the overall program schedule
Enhances Government control over shipbuilding program outcomes
Expands national shipbuilding productive capacity
Reduces production bottlenecks
What SPEED TO STEEL™ Isn’t:
Not a one-size-fits-all approach
Doesn’t necessarily reduce total program cost
Not a commercial shipbuilding solution
