Strike Force Interoperability
The Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) Naval Systems Engineering Directorate (SEA 05) is responsible for the full lifecycle engineering of the Navy’s ships, submarines, and warfare systems.
Traditional surface warship designs are limited in their ability to efficiently and cost-effectively adapt to evolving mission requirements. To maintain future naval superiority, the U.S. Navy is developing flexible, modular, open-system warships that can remain combat-relevant throughout their service life. These next-generation platforms must support rapid integration of advanced technologies, evolving hull, mechanical, and electrical (HM&E) systems, and cutting-edge combat systems.
VTG is supporting the Navy’s flexible ship design initiative by defining the attributes and requirements needed for long-term adaptability and operational relevance.
VTG’s work is supporting the Navy lay the foundation for warships that can evolve with emerging technologies and mission demands. By formalizing flexible design attributes and performance parameters, VTG is enabling the development of platforms that maintain combat effectiveness and affordability over their full lifecycle. These efforts support continuous modernization and ensure readiness in dynamic operational environments, positioning the Navy to maintain technological and tactical superiority.

Our Defense and U.S. Navy customers identified a need to accelerate technological development while maintaining alignment with evolving priorities and tight deployment timelines.
NAVSEA sought an efficient and cost-effective way to install and integrate the Optical Dazzling Interdictor, Navy (ODIN)—a laser weapon system—on surface ships.
