The possible three-inch railgun is favoured here for pursuing moderate, practical development goals. Other proposed features include AI-based and assisted combat direction and more advanced electronic warfare. Power storage, high-voltage distribution, and integrated power and energy systems would support this equipment. Reduced signatures and stronger survivability are also intended. Leaner manning must preserve the desired damage-control and redundancy capacity. Automated damage control, decision support, and autonomous navigation with operational assistance are among the proposed tools. A scalable, modular design could allow experience from this ship to inform larger future destroyers.
