According to the report, the DDG(X) is the US Navy’s planned next-generation destroyer program, designed to replace the aging Arleigh Burke-class ships and incorporate lessons learned from both the Burke- and the Zumwalt- class destroyers.
The report also stated that it is still in development, the guided-missile destroyer aims to serve as the service’s primary large surface combatant beginning in the 2030s, with a focus on greater efficiency, improved survivability, and the ability to host future weapons such as hypersonic missiles and directed-energy systems.
The report added that the US Navy pursued the DDG(X) program to address several converging needs as its current fleet ages and threats evolve. DDG(X) is designed to provide improved survivability, missile capacity, and adaptability, ensuring the US Navy can project power in contested environments.
Finally, DDG(X) is meant to avoid past pitfalls by balancing proven systems with incremental advances. The aim is to reintroduce affordability while providing America with a long-term replacement that can remain relevant for decades.
