The DD(X) destroyer is a surface ship intended to expand the Navy's land attack and littoral warfare capabilities. The program is currently in the system design phase and the Navy plans to authorize detailed design and construction of the lead ship in March 2005. A number of technology advancements are necessary for the DD(X) to meet its requirements. The Navy plans to demonstrate the technologies by building and testing 10 developmental subsystems, referred to as engineering development models.
