About NSRP

The National Shipbuilding Research Program (NSRP) is a collaboration of U.S. shipyards working together to reduce the cost of building, operating and repairing Navy ships by improving productivity and quality through advanced technology and processes. NSRP leverages public/private cooperation to manage cost-shared R&D based on a consensus Strategic Investment Plan.

Program Operations

Program Operations originate with Industry and Navy stakeholders providing recommendations on consensus priority issues, as related to the Program’s mission and objectives; those recommendations provide the basis for the Strategic Investment Plan (SIP), which forms the Program framework. The SIP then directs the project selection process and also defines relevant ad hoc initiatives.  These projects and special initiatives are carried out within the industry through the execution of projects, panel meetings and conferences, dissemination of project results and the implementation of technologies and processes. This output is then relayed to Navy and industry stakeholders, who incorporate the results with their recommendations. Further information can be found in the Organization and Operations Manual.
