Abstract
How can the Republic of Korea (ROK) Navy minimize repetitive requirement changes while maintaining a low cost in its battleship design? This question pivots around the complexity of the ship design process. Although a naval vessel is a single unit, it incorporates a large collection of various systems that range from weapons and navigation systems to habitability and support elements. Interoperability concerns persist within the design phase, which reflects the reality that a naval vessel is part of a larger system, the country’s naval force. Complexity and interoperability add to other challenges in the ship design process including high costs and lengthy schedules. Depending on the type of design procedure implemented, requirement changes increase, thereby extending the schedule and delaying operationalization. The need to establish and practice effective design methodologies has become imperative for achieving efficient naval ship acquisition with reduced costs and condensed timelines. Using the set-based design method—first implemented in U.S. Naval Ship Designs—this thesis explores the prospects of reducing repetitive requirement changes in the ROK Navy’s ship acquisition process.
