FRD FLEET READINESS DIRECTORATE 3

FRD Team:

I am very proud of our new Strategic Plan. It was created collaboratively by our FRD leadership team and it represents a great deal of hard, dedicated work to provide you with useful overarching direction on where FRD is going. The Strategic Plan also provides foundational information to enable you to effectively plan, manage, and execute your work.

Our highest priority is ensuring our Sailors have unmatched C4I capability that provides them a significant tactical advantage. We achieve this advantage by ensuring our systems are installed on time and within cost, by providing the Fleet with outstanding support for their C4I systems, and by carrying the feedback we receive from the Fleet back to the SPAWAR Enterprise.

FRD is filled with hardworking and highly talented people who are dedicated to the Fleet. It is an honor for me to serve with you as we deliver and sustain superior C4I readiness that is central to the Fleet’s ability to fight and win.

Very Respectfully,

Rear Admiral John W. AilesDirector, FRD

A MESSAGE FROM THE

EXECUTIVE DIRECTORFLEET READINESS DIRECTORATE


FRD ORGANIZATIONThe Fleet Readiness Directorate (FRD) installs, supports, and modernizes the Navy’s C4I hardware and systems to ensure the Navy’s warfighters are prepared to meet all mission requirements.

ABOUT

FLEET SUPPORT PROGRAM OFFICE

FLEET INSTALLATION PROGRAM OFFICE

The Fleet Support Program Office repairs and maintains the Fleet’s C4I hardware and systems, and serves as the program manager for 24 in-service C4I systems.

FRD 100 sustains systems by drawing on SPAWAR’s full range of technical and logistics capabilities. As the SYSCOM lead for causality and crises response, FRD employs Fleet Systems Engineering Teams (FSETs) embarked on strike group ships and at shore communication nodes, along with In-Service Engineering Agents (ISEAs), to meet Fleet demand and operational priorities. FRD 100 monitors Fleet readiness metrics to identify trends and readiness degraders to proactively address C4I and cybersecurity issues.

The FRD Installation Program Office performs hardware and software C4I installations on naval platforms across the globe to enhance mission readiness. Through early planning and close collaboration with PEO C4I, type commanders, Fleet commanders, NAVSEA and regional maintenance centers, FRD 200 ensures that installations align with the overall acquisition strategy, ship availability, and budget priorities. SPAWAR’s FRD 200 has coordinated approximately 8,000 installations in the past three years and executes all C4I installations via the FRD Installations Office Pacific and Atlantic.

GOAL DESCRIPTIONFRD’s customer is the Fleet, composed of operational units, their command and control structure, and supporting material infrastructure. This goal focuses FRD on providing world class customer service and maintaining knowledge continuity to and for the Fleet. While not on a continual war footing, FRD’s actions serve customers best by preparing them for the full spectrum of conflict operations from peacetime to denied access environments to mass conflagrations.

OBJECTIVE 1.1Improve C4I systems operational capability during work-up and deployment.

OBJECTIVE 1.2Ensure all C4I fielded systems have the sustainment services necessary to increase system readiness.

OBJECTIVE 1.3Deliver a SYSCOM validated cyber baseline that can be Fleet managed and unit maintained.

FOCUS ON THE FLEET1SPAWAR FRD GOAL ONE

Advocate for and provide Fleet operators and technicians the knowledge, resources, and assistance necessary to operate, maintain, secure, and sustain SPAWAR systems

OBJECTIVE 2.1Strengthen engagement to enhance collaboration with internal and external stakeholders and ensure mission requirements are met.

OBJECTIVE 2.2Identify potential FRD funding strategies and formalize processes to resource investments.

OBJECTIVE 2.3Enhance workforce capability and qualifications.

GOAL DESCRIPTIONFor the Fleet to fight and win, problems must be resolved quickly. Complex technical problems require the energy of the entire SPAWAR Enterprise. It’s critical for FRD to provide quick and appropriate resolutions by developing a culture that fosters collaboration and accountability, enhances workforce skills and qualifications, and emphasizes communication among Enterprise stakeholders in support of Fleet readiness.

SPAWAR FRD GOAL TWO

OWNERCAPT Malcolm Potts, Chief of Staff


GOAL DESCRIPTIONThe ability to reduce cost and schedule variance is pivotal to the Modernization Enterprise’s ability to meet its vision and mission while providing the best financial value to programs, sponsors and the taxpayers. To drive down cost and decrease installation duration, the FRD will work with cross Enterprise stakeholders to implement cost and schedule improvement initiatives designed to improve baseline performance and cost visibility.

OBJECTIVE 3.1Identify, develop, and communicate comprehensive measures that effectively describe installation cost and schedule variance, causes, and trends for major ship alterations.

OBJECTIVE 3.2Implement cost improvement initiatives designed to improve cost performance and communicate cost risks.

OBJECTIVE 3.3Implement schedule improvement initiatives designed to improve schedule performance and communicate schedule risks.

OBJECTIVE 4.1Improve timelines of install contracting by improving readiness for RFP and award by A-90 rates.

OBJECTIVE 4.2Improve the readiness to start installation.

OBJECTIVE 4.3Improve the process to deliver sustainable SOVT-compliant systems with full functionality to the Fleet within ship availability timeframes.

OBJECTIVE 4.3Institute policies and guidelines that improve install-ability and reduce install duration.

GOAL DESCRIPTIONThe FRD installs, loads, tests, and sustains SPAWAR systems and provides feedback to the SPAWAR Enterprise to influence future designs for install-ability, sustainability, and testability. FRD provides quality installation products, demonstrates system performance through clear system operational verification test (SOVT) and system of systems operational testing (SOT) events, and delivers cyber secure systems. FRD strives to influence design for installation through engagement with planning yards, feedback to the technical design agent (TDA), and adherence to guiding requirements.

SPAWAR FRD GOAL FOUR

OWNERCAPT Dave Kuhn, Installation Program Manager (FRD 200)


GOAL DESCRIPTIONAs the SPAWAR organization that is closest to the Fleet, it is our intent to translate Fleet expectations for delivery of time-critical products and services into actionable and repeatable activities that speed delivery to support warfighter operations. This goal requires the careful building and strengthening of coalitions with PEO C4I, ISEAs, software support activities (SSAs) SSAs, 4.0, and 5.0 organizations to most efficiently execute assigned objectives.

OBJECTIVE 5.1Improve speed to warfighter through more effective system engineering processes.

OBJECTIVE 5.2Support rapid introduction of new technologies by facilitating speed to experimentation speed to demonstration.

OBJECTIVE 5.3Decrease restoration times following system casualties.
