Abstract:

This paper addresses the application of Commercial ItemsNon-Development Items CINDI hardware and software in Shipboard Systems development and life cycle support. The use of CINDI hardware and software has specific benefits, which will be summarized. This paper primarily focuses on the current challenges in using commercial products for shipboard military applications. It provides considerations, recommendations and mitigating strategies that will minimize acquisition and life cycle support risk when applying a commercial item solution in New Start and Legacy programs encompassing partial or full use of commercial hardware and software. The paper and supporting presentation will identify specific CINDI lessons learned and current risk mitigating efforts that have proven to be successful in reducing program and fleet operation risk from concept through operational life. Examples and discussion provided focus on CombatWeapon System applications which require special consideration based on specific operational use and tactical interoperability requirements, however these subjects are generally applicable to all shipboard systems.
