Under development during a time of new littoral missions, limited resources, rapid technology advances, and a dwindling industrial base, the Navy's 21st Century Land Attack Destroyer (DD21) demands an unprecedented acquisition approach. This paper describes the genesis of DD21's operational requirement and the key role of containing life-cycle costs in managing the program. It outlines the Navy's innovative procurement approach, in which key responsibilities for major design and life-cycle tradeoffs will be shifted to industry, along with a larger role in maintenance, logistics, and training. In addition, it reviews the current status of the program.
