“…An immediate effort is to expand the modeling and simulation environment to include not only ASSET and RSDE but also the Smart Ship System Design (S3D) tool, which has been undergoing extensive development and upgrades to support this type of broad trade space exploration for the latest electric ship technologies [11] [12]. There is also ongoing effort in using templates to aid in design space exploration [10]. These types of upgrades will allow designers to explore more design alternatives and technologies in the early stages of the design cycle, which should ultimately result in a more effective surface combatant.…”

With the advent of new technologies for electric ships, there is a need for a robust methodology to quantitatively evaluate their impact on the performance of a ship, while accounting for the uncertain nature of their parameters. To that end, this paper gives an overview of the Technology Identification, Evaluation, and Selection, or TIES, methodology as applied a 10kton surface combatant. This case study highlights the ability of TIES to aid in a broad exploration of the design space, by giving designers key tools that allow them to show in a traceable manner the tradeoffs involved in infusing technologies and making other design choices, as well as which designs best meet different sets of Figures of Merit. This ultimately allows decision-makers to determine what technologies or design choices to invest in to yield a ship with the performance parameters that will best serve the needs of its stakeholders.
