Abstract
Operational availability of Gas Turbine Generator Sets (GTGs) aboard the U.S. Navy’s DDG 51 Class ships is being enhanced through the combined capabilities of the ship’s Integrated Condition Assessment System (ICAS) and the GTG’s Full Authority Digital Control (FADC). This paper describes the ICAS and FADC systems; their current capabilities and the vision of how those capabilities will evolve in order to improve equipment readiness and reduce life cycle costs.
