The DDG(X) hull design will incorporate lessons and elements from both the Arleigh Burke and Zumwalt designs. The vessels will be able to accommodate larger missile launch systems, improved survivability, and space, weight, power, and cooling margins for future growth.
The ships must also be modular to allow for inexpensive upgrades of weaponry, electronics, computing, and sensors over time as threats evolve. [162] The Future Surface Combatant has evolved into the Large Surface Combatant, which became the DDG(X). [163] The Navy plans to procure the first DDG(X) in FY2032. [5]

A study to place the AN/SPY-6 on a DDG 1000 hull was done with the 22-foot (6.7 m) aperture primarily for Ballistic Missile Defense (BMD) purposes. In that the DDG 1000 does not have an Aegis Combat System, as does the DDG 51 class ships, but rather the Total Ship Computing Environment Infrastructure (TSCEI), the Radar/Hull Study stated:
USS Arleigh Burke (DDG-51) This is a list of destroyers of the United States Navy, sorted by hull number.It includes all of the series DD, DL, DDG, DLG, and DLGN. CG-47 Ticonderoga and CG-48 Yorktown were approved as destroyers (DDG-47 and DDG-48) and redesignated cruisers before being laid down; it is uncertain whether CG-49 Vincennes and CG-50 Valley Forge were ever authorized as destroyers ...
The Navy’s ability to build lower-cost warships that can shoot down Houthi rebel missiles in the Red Sea depends in part on a 25-year-old laborer who previously made parts for garbage trucks.
USS Robert Kerrey (DDG-146) is a planned Flight III Arleigh Burke-class guided missile destroyer of the United States Navy, the 96th overall of the class.
