Progress within BRICK CARRIER – CVN-78 is defined by validated decisions, not by visible volume alone.
This page documents the current project phase, the underlying logic, and how development advances over time in a controlled and transparent manner.
Current Phase
The project is currently in its foundational phase.
This phase focuses on system architecture, modular standards, interface definitions, and documentation frameworks that will govern all subsequent construction stages.
Current Phase: Foundation & Architecture
Focus: Structure, standards, documentation
Build Activity: Conceptual and preparatory
Time Horizon: Multi-year development
Project Phases
The project follows a phased development model commonly used in complex engineering systems.
Each phase must reach internal validation criteria before the next phase begins.
Phase 1 – Foundation & Architecture
- System definition
- Modular logic
- Interface standards
- Documentation setup
Phase 2 – Structural Development
- Primary load-bearing structure
- Module prototyping
- Structural testing
Phase 3 – Functional Expansion
- Internal volumes
- Flight deck systems
- Superstructure development
Phase 4 – Detail & Refinement
- Visual detailing
- Surface accuracy
- System integration
Phase 5 – Presentation & Exhibition
- Assembly logic
- Transport validation
- Public display concepts
What Constitutes a Milestone
In this project, milestones are not defined by size or visual completeness alone.
A milestone is reached when a concept has been validated, documented, and proven to scale reliably.
- Completion of a stable module interface standard
- Validation of a primary load path
- Successful transport test of a full-size module
- Documentation of a resolved engineering challenge
Transparency & Documentation
Progress is documented continuously to provide insight into decisions, challenges, and solutions.
This documentation is intended to create long-term value beyond the physical structure itself.
Documentation may include:
- Written engineering notes
- Diagrams and schematics
- Photographic records
- Process summaries
What Is Not Shown Yet
Certain aspects of the project are intentionally withheld from public presentation during early phases.
This includes incomplete experiments, unvalidated concepts, and provisional structures that do not yet meet internal quality standards.
Looking Ahead
As the project progresses, this page will evolve to reflect validated construction stages, structural milestones, and documented achievements.Updates will prioritize substance over frequency.
