The U.S. Navy and Global Technical Systems (GTS), teamed with DRS Technologies, Northrop Grumman, and IBM, have successfully completed a Critical Design Review (CDR) of the Common Processing System (CPS), which was conducted on 10-11 December 2009. The review assessed the Design Agent's (GTS) progress on the CPS detailed design and readiness to begin fabrication of First Article Units (FAUs) for test and evaluation. Panel members or empowered representatives included IWS 6.0, IWS 1.0, IWS 8.0, SEA 05H, PEO(SHIPS), SEA 02, DASN(Ships) and OPNAV N86.

 

“The CPS equipment procurement provides a processing system that supports the Navy’s planned implementation of Open Architecture (OA) for Navy combat systems. The CPS will be designed around commercially available hardware and software and will provide computer processing and memory, data storage and extraction and I/O interfaces to support host software applications of Navy combat systems. CPS will meet the computing requirements of other programs of record, including Aegis Modernization”.
