Northrop Grumman Completes Assembly of DDG 1000 Engineering Control System Units Six Months Ahead of Schedule
Northrop Grumman Corporation finished assembly of Engineering Control System (ECS) Distributed Control Units (DCUs) and Remote Terminal Units (RTUs) for the first two ship sets for the DDG 1000 Zumwalt-class Destroyer Program nearly six months ahead of schedule and under budget.
The ECS takes in all of the destroyer's hull, mechanical and electrical (HME) signals, which come from a wide variety of systems such as the fire detection systems and the integrated power plant. The RTU then distributes the signals to the DCU for analysis and control.
The company produced and assembled two shipsets of 16 DCUs and 180 RTUs each, for a total of 392 units. The shipsets will be installed in the first two destroyers, the USS Zumwalt (DDG 1000) and the USS Monsoor (DDG 1001).
