DDG 1000 testing awaits validation event on SDTS

摘要

The US Navy will conduct a critical engineering validation test on its Self Defense Test Ship (SDTS) in March which, if successful, will pave the way for the resumption of live-fire testing in support of the DDG 1000 Zumwalt-class destroyer programme. This follows investigations determining that the Zumwalt Combat System (ZCS) was not the cause of earlier testing issues affecting testing on the SDTS.
