Force Protection Applied Res
Abstract
This project addresses applied research associated with providing the capability of Platform and Force Protection for the U.S. Navy. It supports the development of technologies associated with all naval platforms (surface, subsurface, terrestrial, and air) and the protection of those platforms. Research is focused on providing technologically superior defense of naval assets and delivering warfighting capabilities at reduced total ownership costs for surface and subsurface platforms through investments in applied research in: a) Power, Energy & Propulsion and b) Platform Design and Engineering. This project develops technologies for reduced observables technology and enhanced capability of naval platforms (surface, subsurface, terrestrial, and air) in terms of mission effectiveness, platform range, responsiveness, survivability, observability, readiness, safety and life cycle cost. The project addresses technology development to provide substantial improvements in energetic material systems and subsystems, primarily in terms of performance, but also addressing safety, reliability, and affordability concerns. This project is broken out into five primary areas of study: Aircraft Technology, Fleet Force Protection and Defense Against Undersea Threats, Advanced Energetics, Surface Ship and Submarine Hull Mechanical & Electrical (HM&E), and Naval Research Enterprise.
