This document specifies the functional and performance requirements for the Defence
Material Organisation Project SEA4000, Phase 2 Air Warfare Destroyer (AWD).

Advice

FPS_12967

This Functional and Performance Specification (FPS) is developed in accordance with


the Data Item Description DID-CDG-DEF-FPS-V1.2, the FPS guide V1.0 and the
Capability Definition Documents Guide, V1.3.

Heading

FPS_12969

The AWD (Air Warfare Destroyer) System will encompass the following systems:
a.
The AWD Ship System; and
b.
The AWD Support System.

Advice

This specification bounds the scope of each requirement by using 3 terms:


a.
The AWD System is used to indicate a requirement is applicable to the entire
class of at least 3 air defence capable sea control surface combatants and their
support components;
b.
The AWD Ship System is used to indicate a requirement is applicable only to
the individual ship; and
c.
The AWD Support System is used to indicate a requirement is applicable only
to those components that are external to the ship.
See Section 3.2 System Boundaries and Context.
FPS_12970

In accordance with the Defence White Paper 2000, the ADF is replacing the FFGs
from 2013 with a class of at least 3 air defence capable ships, the new Air Warfare
Destroyers (AWDs). These highly capable ships will provide continuous, effective area
air defence of a maritime force or land force operating in our maritime approaches or
deployed away from Australia, in both open-ocean and littoral environments. They
will be vital to ensuring the safety of amphibious and support ships, as well as land
forces and aircraft where there may be the threat of air or missile attack. They will
operate throughout our region, and indeed the world, as the Commander of a RAN
Task Group or as part of a coalition force. They will be interoperable with other ADF
units and international allies and will also have an undersea warfare (anti-submarine
and mine countermeasures) and anti-shipping capability.
The AWD will have the capability to contribute across the entire spectrum of military
operations, as shown below in Figure 1, throughout its expected long service life of
some 30-40 years, offering Government significant flexibility.

The AWD CS segment consists of the following subsystems:

Advice

a. Aviation Support (AVS) subsystem;


b. Aegis Weapon (AWS) subsystem;
c. Above Water Sensor (AWSS) subsystem;
d. Above Water Weapon (AWWS) subsystem;
e. Command, Control, Communications, Computers and Intelligence (C4I) subsystem;
f. Electronic Warfare (EW) subsystem;
g. Mission Support (MS) subsystem;
h. Navigation (NS) subsystem;
i. On-Board Training (OBT) subsystem;
j. Undersea Warfare (USW) subsystem; and
k. Very Short Range Defence (VSRD) subsystem.
The AWD CS Segment Design Document (SDD) will describe these subsystems in
detail.
FPS_12975

The AWD Platform System segment comprises the following items:


a. ships hull and equipment;
b. mechanical systems (propulsion, steering, generators, air-conditioning and
auxiliaries);
c. electrical systems (distribution, switchgear, lighting and auxiliaries);
d. control systems; and
e. ship support equipment (aviation, boat and general services).

The Function and Performance Specification document is one of 3 documents that


describe the capability to be acquired under Project SEA 4000 Air Warfare Destroyer.
The other documents are the Operational Concept Document (OCD) and the Test
Concept Document (TCD). The FPS specify the AWD System functions to be
performed, the required level of performance associated with those functions, and
any constraints on the design or implementation, all of which are derived, with full
traceability, from the OCD. Additionally, the FPS provides the basis for qualification
testing of the AWD System.

1.3.2 Precedence and Criticality

Heading

FPS_12989

In the event of any conflict in requirement between this specification and any
standards or documents referenced by this specification, this specification shall take
precedence.

Advice

FPS_12991

Each object within this database is given a priority as follows:

Advice

a. Essential. Indicates an AWD System characteristic that must be satisfied in order


that the AWD is capable of meeting the needs of the RAN. Indicated by using the
word "shall" in the requirement.
b. Important. Indicates an AWD System characteristic that is considered by the
Commonwealth to be important or one where some latitude in performance
achievement can be tolerated. Indicated (as for "Desirable" requirements) by using
the word "should" in the requirement.
c. Desirable. Indicates that the Commonwealth considers the feature to be beneficial,
provided it represents value for money. Performance figures are for guidance only.
The feature might be addressed as a costed option or as an inherent attribute of a
proposed solution. Indicated (as for "Important" requirements) by using the word
"should" in the requirement.
d. Heading. In Section 3.4, a heading indicates a group of requirements which
together define a system function. In other parts of Section 3, indicates a logical
group of requirements concerning a system property. Otherwise just a means of
organising related information.
e. Definition. Indicates an interpretation of a term used in a requirement. It is
considered part of the requirement but is separated out into the Data Dictionary for

NBC Attack Environment: An NBC attack environment is when the ship is operating
in an area that has been subject to an actual NBC attack or has been contaminated by
NBC agents.
An attack environment will exist when:
a)
The radioactivity of the air in the vicinity of the ship has a level (in Bq/m3)
which exceeds the normal background by a factor of 10. (A normal background will
be < 100Bq/m3).
b)
The radioactivity of the deck (in Bq/m2) is in excess of 10 times the normal
radiation background.
c)
An unprotected person on the ship would receives a short term exposure of
greater than 0.2 Sv.
d)
The concentration of any chemical warfare agent in the vicinity of the ship is
greater than 1% of the accepted concentration which gives rise to observable
symptoms (e.g. HCN produces effects at concentrations 50 mg/m3 when absorbed for
an hour, and is rapidly lethal at concentrations of 300mg/m3. An exposure for one
minute to 75 mg of sarin in 1 m3 of air will be lethal. The figure for dermal exposure
is higher).
A biological agent is present.

Preventive Maintenance: the practice of replacing components or subsystems


before they fail in order to promote continuous system operation. The schedule for
preventive maintenance is based on observation of past system behavior, component
wear-out mechanisms and knowledge of which components are vital to continued
system operation. Cost is always a factor in the scheduling of preventive
maintenance. (Note: Reliability can also be a factor but cost is a more general term
because reliability and risk can be expressed in terms of cost.) In many
circumstances, it is financially more sensible to replace parts or components that have
not failed at predetermined intervals rather than to wait for a system failure that may
result in a costly disruption in operations.
