In-House Lab Independent Res

Abstract

This project sustains U.S. Naval S&T superiority, provides new technological concepts for the maintenance of naval power and national security, and mitigates scientific surprises, while exploiting scientific breakthroughs and providing options for new Future Naval Capabilities (FNC's). It responds to S&T directions of the Naval S&T Strategic Plan for long term Navy and Marine Corps improvements. It is in consonance with future warfighting concepts and doctrine developed at the Naval Warfare Development Command (NWDC) and the Marine Corps Combat Development Command (MCCDC), and enables technologies to significantly improve the Joint Chiefs of Staff's Future Joint Warfighting Capabilities. This portion of the DON Basic Research Program provides participating Naval Warfare Centers and Laboratories with funding for basic research to support the execution of their assigned missions, for developing and maintaining a cadre of active research scientists who can distill and extend results from worldwide research and apply them to naval problems, to promote hiring and development of new scientists, and to encourage collaboration with universities, private industry, and other Navy and Department of Defense laboratories.
