Smart Ship System Design (S3D) integration with the leading edge architecture for Prototyping Systems (LEAPS)

The Navy's early-stage design tools are integrated with the Leading Edge Architecture for Prototyping Systems (LEAPS) data repository, thus enabling a streamlined, cohesive approach to the creation, storage and access of data pertinent to a ship design. The Smart Ship System Design (S3D) design environment currently under development within the Electric Ship Research and Development Consortium (ESRDC) recently completed development of S3D as a LEAPS application and is extending its capability to include the LEAPS application framework, multi-platform compatibility, and added functionality.
