This document specifies the functional and performance requirements for the Defence
Material Organisation Project SEA4000, Phase 2 Air Warfare Destroyer (AWD).
Advice
FPS_12967
This Functional and Performance Specification (FPS) is developed in accordance with

the Data Item Description DID-CDG-DEF-FPS-V1.2, the FPS guide V1.0 and the
Capability Definition Documents Guide, V1.3.

Heading
FPS_12969
The AWD (Air Warfare Destroyer) System will encompass the following systems:
a.
The AWD Ship System; and
b.
The AWD Support System.
Advice
This specification bounds the scope of each requirement by using 3 terms:

a.
The AWD System is used to indicate a requirement is applicable to the entire
class of at least 3 air defence capable sea control surface combatants and their
support components;
b.
The AWD Ship System is used to indicate a requirement is applicable only to
the individual ship; and
c.
The AWD Support System is used to indicate a requirement is applicable only
to those components that are external to the ship.
See Section 3.2 System Boundaries and Context.
FPS_12970
In accordance with the Defence White Paper 2000, the ADF is replacing the FFGs
from 2013 with a class of at least 3 air defence capable ships, the new Air Warfare
Destroyers (AWDs). These highly capable ships will provide continuous, effective area
air defence of a maritime force or land force operating in our maritime approaches or
deployed away from Australia, in both open-ocean and littoral environments. They
will be vital to ensuring the safety of amphibious and support ships, as well as land
forces and aircraft where there may be the threat of air or missile attack. They will
operate throughout our region, and indeed the world, as the Commander of a RAN
Task Group or as part of a coalition force. They will be interoperable with other ADF
units and international allies and will also have an undersea warfare (anti-submarine
and mine countermeasures) and anti-shipping capability.
The AWD will have the capability to contribute across the entire spectrum of military
operations, as shown below in Figure 1, throughout its expected long service life of
some 30-40 years, offering Government significant flexibility.

The AWD will incorporate modern systems and weapons built around the USN Aegis
Combat System, and will offer necessary growth paths to take advantage of new
capabilities and technologies as they become available. The AWD will be designed,
accepted, operated, supported, modified and disposed of within a whole-of-life
management philosophy.

FPS_12973
The AWD Ship System consists of the following two segments:
Advice
a. The AWD Combat System (AWD CS) segment; and

b. The AWD Platform System (AWD Platform) segment.

The AWD CS segment consists of the following subsystems:
Advice
a. Aviation Support (AVS) subsystem;

b. Aegis Weapon (AWS) subsystem;
c. Above Water Sensor (AWSS) subsystem;
d. Above Water Weapon (AWWS) subsystem;
e. Command, Control, Communications, Computers and Intelligence (C4I) subsystem;
f. Electronic Warfare (EW) subsystem;
g. Mission Support (MS) subsystem;
h. Navigation (NS) subsystem;
i. On-Board Training (OBT) subsystem;
j. Undersea Warfare (USW) subsystem; and
k. Very Short Range Defence (VSRD) subsystem.
The AWD CS Segment Design Document (SDD) will describe these subsystems in
detail.
FPS_12975
The AWD Platform System segment comprises the following items:

a. ships hull and equipment;
b. mechanical systems (propulsion, steering, generators, air-conditioning and
auxiliaries);
c. electrical systems (distribution, switchgear, lighting and auxiliaries);
d. control systems; and
e. ship support equipment (aviation, boat and general services).

The Function and Performance Specification document is one of 3 documents that

describe the capability to be acquired under Project SEA 4000 Air Warfare Destroyer.
The other documents are the Operational Concept Document (OCD) and the Test
Concept Document (TCD). The FPS specify the AWD System functions to be
performed, the required level of performance associated with those functions, and
any constraints on the design or implementation, all of which are derived, with full
traceability, from the OCD. Additionally, the FPS provides the basis for qualification

1.3.2 Precedence and Criticality
Heading
FPS_12989
In the event of any conflict in requirement between this specification and any
standards or documents referenced by this specification, this specification shall take
precedence.
Advice
FPS_12991
Each object within this database is given a priority as follows:
Advice
a. Essential. Indicates an AWD System characteristic that must be satisfied in order

that the AWD is capable of meeting the needs of the RAN. Indicated by using the
word "shall" in the requirement.
b. Important. Indicates an AWD System characteristic that is considered by the
Commonwealth to be important or one where some latitude in performance
achievement can be tolerated. Indicated (as for "Desirable" requirements) by using
the word "should" in the requirement.
c. Desirable. Indicates that the Commonwealth considers the feature to be beneficial,
provided it represents value for money. Performance figures are for guidance only.
The feature might be addressed as a costed option or as an inherent attribute of a
proposed solution. Indicated (as for "Important" requirements) by using the word
"should" in the requirement.
d. Heading. In Section 3.4, a heading indicates a group of requirements which
together define a system function. In other parts of Section 3, indicates a logical
group of requirements concerning a system property. Otherwise just a means of
organising related information.
e. Definition. Indicates an interpretation of a term used in a requirement. It is
considered part of the requirement but is separated out into the Data Dictionary for

Preventive Maintenance: the practice of replacing components or subsystems

before they fail in order to promote continuous system operation. The schedule for
preventive maintenance is based on observation of past system behavior, component
wear-out mechanisms and knowledge of which components are vital to continued
system operation. Cost is always a factor in the scheduling of preventive
maintenance. (Note: Reliability can also be a factor but cost is a more general term
because reliability and risk can be expressed in terms of cost.) In many
circumstances, it is financially more sensible to replace parts or components that have
not failed at predetermined intervals rather than to wait for a system failure that may
result in a costly disruption in operations.
