1.1 BACKGROUND

As part of the NSWCPD Power Systems Division (Division 44), the Submarine Power Systems Branch (Code 445) has overall lead for this contract, but tasking issued under this contract will also support the CVN Power, Aircraft Support, Magnetic Silencing Systems Branch (Code 443). Codes 443 and 445 collectively provide Engineering Agent support to CVN (Code 443) and Submarine and other Undersea (Code 445) programs focused around the Electric Plant and Electric Propulsion systems. NSWCPD Codes 443 and 445 provides in-service engineering support to these programs, providing reliability and sustainment engineering, logistics and cyber-related services to resolve emergent fleet issues as well as identify and execute a variety of proactive projects intended to improve the health and operational availability of the fleet. NSWCPD Codes 443 and 445 also provides acquisition engineering agent support to new construction program offices on our cognizant systems for the aforementioned platforms, performing functions that include but are not limited to supporting early requirements definition, specification development, shipbuilder/vendor deliverable reviews, on-site oversight during manufacturing, installation and testing, supporting trials, and ultimately developing and implementing in service transition plans. In addition to the major programs above, NSWCPD Code 445 maintains technical competencies centered on specific systems/sub-systems/components for which we support across all programs, on behalf of the TWHs at Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) 05Z. These areas include arc fault detection systems, thermal imaging, electrical insulation systems and materials, transformers, motors and motor controllers, steam turbine generators, cables and cableways, lighting, and associated monitoring, control and protective devices. NSWCPD Code 445 tasking in these areas and in scope of this contract is typically platform agnostic and centered around the development, improvement, maintenance and operation of cross-program common components, as well as development, maintenance and enforcement of the associated military specifications and standards that govern these technical areas.
