The USS Zumwalt (DDG 1000) has
passed its acceptance trials, the ship's electronics developer Raytheon
announced Friday. Raytheon is the prime
mission-systems equipment integrator for the Zumwalt-class destroyer program. Key ship capabilities, including
the Raytheon-developed comprehensive Total Ship Computing Environments, were
tested as part of the trials, the company said in a statement. Systems performed well throughout
two periods at sea, culminating in the ship's acceptance by the Navy's Board of
Inspection and Survey.
