"In particular, the Ford's SLQ-32(V)6 electronic surveillance system demonstrated "poor performance" so dismal that the Navy delayed additional operational testing on the system until the underlying problems could be addressed.
In addition, the Ford's SPY-3 multi-function radar and Cooperative Engagement Capability (CEC) ship-to-ship comms "failed to maintain detections and tracks for one of the threat surrogates in multi-target raid," even though the Pentagon acknowledged that the scenario "was more challenging to the combat system than originally planned."
These aren't the only problems facing the Ford in terms of survivability in a combat situation. According to the OT&E assessment, the potential vulnerability of the Ford's critical systems to "underwater threat-induced shock" hasn't been fully tested due to the scarcity of the systems."
