Concept Refinement and Preliminary Design for Submarine Tender Recapitalization, AS(X)   3

SOLICITATION NOTICE

The Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) has a requirement for the Concept Refinement and Preliminary Design (PD) of the Submarine Tender Recapitalization Program, AS(X) (unnamed Auxiliary Ship). AS(X) is being specifically designed to support deployed VIRGINIA class (VCS), COLUMBIA class (CLB), and future generation submarines in the 21st century. AS(X) will also be capable of supporting Los Angeles (LA) Class submarines and OHIO Class SSBNs until their retirement. AS(X) will conduct steady state and wartime sustained, forward-based tending, resupply, and I-level repair operations on deployed submarines while at anchor or moored at a pier. All systems essential to conduct tending, repair operations and logistical support to tended submarines will be manned to sustain 24-hour/day services. In steady state, the AS(X) provides pier-side support in a forward deployed submarine homeport, providing sustained repair, supply, weapons handling/rearming, and tending operations for home ported or visiting submarines and ships, and fly-away emergent voyage repair services for other deployed submarines and ships.
