The U.S. Navy has demonstrated Raytheon-built computing applications onboard the lead ship in the branch’s Zumwalt class of destroyers.
Raytheon said Wednesday the DDG 1000‘s total ship computing environment and engineering control systems functioned during a week-long trial at sea.
The TSCE infrastructure comprises a combat management, ship and machinery control, embedded training, damage control and C4I systems.
Raytheon serves as the mission-systems integrator for the Navy’s three-ship Zumwalt destroyer program.
General Dynamics‘ Bath Iron Works subsidiary and Huntington Ingalls Industries build the warships.
Raytheon said it has completed more than 330 hours of training with sailors on the pre-commissioning DDG 1000 and will support activation of the ship’s combat and mission equipment.
