据c4isr网8月27日报道，美海军海上系统司令部 (NAVSEA)8月25日发布需求书，将启动“硬件工厂和硬件流程”计划，以保持舰队计算平台处在最新状态。
海军希望将该工厂作为向海军水面舰队普遍采用的基础设施即服务环境的“体系架构、运行实施和系统操作”转型工作的组成部分。
NAVSEA 希望硬件流程和工厂2023财年之前启用。
海军希望通过硬件工厂和硬件流程概念采用敏捷开发技术促进计算基础设施研发。
该新模式是海军推动从技术嵌入向现有和未来水面舰艇持续不断硬件更新转移的组成部分。
该名为“未来综合作战系统基础设施即服务和计算基础设施” (FICS-CI)的计划由 NAVSEA“综合作战系统计划办公室”（PEO IWS）管理，旨在将系统纳入“通用、可扩展的间歇连接边缘云体系架构”，打造基础设施服务平台。
NAVSEA 希望为大小型战舰、航母、两栖战舰以及海军陆战队、“军品外销”、未来战舰等相关计划部署计算体系架构。
需求书列出海军相关领域，包括：系统工程；“基础设施即服务”（IaaS）设计与综合集成；技术数据包；生产；不断减少的制造资源和材料短缺，硬件和软件版本发布跟踪；一体化后勤保障，维修和作战训练。
US Navy wants to create a ‘hardware factory’
WASHINGTON — A new request for information from the U.S. Navy outlines the service’s interest in launching a “hardware factory and hardware pipeline” to keep its fleet computing platforms up-to-date.
According to an Aug. 25 request posted by the Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA), the sea service wants the factory as part of a broader effort to “architect, implement, and migrate” to a universally managed, infrastructure as a service environment for the sea service’s surface fleet. NAVSEA wants the pipeline and factory ready for use no later than fiscal 2023.
The Navy wants to use the hardware factory and hardware pipeline concept to use agile development to accelerate the development of its computing infrastructure. The new model is part of the Navy’s effort to transition away from technology insertions and move toward continuous hardware refreshes aboard its current and future surface fleet.
The request is for a program called Future Integrated Combat System Infrastructure-as-a-Service and Computing Infrastructure (FICS-CI), managed by NAVSEA’s Program Executive Office Integrated Warfare Systems.
“The Navy envisions a transition to a HW Factory and HW Pipeline Process continuously delivering IaaS to pace technology, eliminate obsolescence, and enable continuous design and development of [computing infrastructure] solutions that meet ship needs with minimal deviation from commercial standards and practices,” the RFI states.
The program is part of an effort by the NAVSEA’s PEO IWS to migrate systems to a “common, scalable intermittently connected edge cloud architecture” using IaaS to enable platform as a service. NAVSEA wants to deploy the computing architecture to large and small combatants, aircraft carriers, amphibious ships, and “other related programs including U.S. Coast Guard, AEGIS Foreign Military Sales, and proposed future ship classes.”
The RFI lists several interest areas for the Navy: systems engineering; IaaS design and integration; technical data packages; production; diminishing manufacturing sources and material shortages, hardware, and software version release tracking; and integrated logistics support, maintenance and operations training.
“The HW Factory and HW Pipeline will streamline component selection, qualification, integration, life cycle support and training for the Fleet, leading to accelerated infrastructure development and fielding,” the RFI states. “The Navy envisions a continuous CI refresh cycle rapidly delivering improved Lethality, Combat Capability and Capacity to the Surface Navy Fleet to confront an increasing array of Strategic, Operational, and Tactical Challenges.”
