This study sought to determine the feasibility and advantages of applying aerospace technology to the design of a new generation of strategic submarine. It focused on how these methods and techniques could be applied to improve the operational capability, and cost of acquisition and ownership of our strategic submarine deterrent forces. Systems engineering and integration and design to cost methods used successfully on programs such as Skylab and Viking were applied and it was determined that performance and cost could be enhanced over that presently exhibited by a SSBN 640 class submarine. In general the results will also be applicable to strategic submarines presently under construction since they and the SSBN 640 share the philosophy of independent subsystem mechanization and crew operation and it is in changing these areas that the greatest gains can be achieved. Application of these techniques involve the assumption that the new generation of strategic submarine should be an integrated man/machine interactive weapons system with a long-life requirement.
