Managing complex multi-year naval ship production schedules across distributed engineering teams

Defense contractors managing DDG-51 class destroyer programs struggle to coordinate ship production planning, combat systems testing, and engineering data across multiple departments and subcontractors over 5-10 year timelines. Current fragmented systems fail to provide real-time visibility into production status, configuration changes, and test engineering milestones, causing costly delays and rework. Teams need integrated platforms that consolidate production schedules, engineering documentation, and test results in a single source of truth.
