Analysis on the Architecture of USN DDG-1000 Total Ship Computing Environment

Total Ship Computing Environment(TSCE)is one of the critical technologies of DDG-1000,the new multipurpose destroyer of U.S.Navy,and has led to numerous changes in the design and integra tion of ship systems.This paper introduces the project background of TSCE,as well as its technical archi tecture,mission systems and Navy Open Architecture(OA).The structure and composition of the TSCE Infrastructure(TSCE-I)segment are also analyzed,which includes elements such as the data processing unit,the adaptation unit,the human interface and the network infrastructure.Finally,some technical trad eoffs related to the Service Oriented Architecture(SOA)are introduced,i.e.,component-based develop ment,real-time or non real-time applications.
