(U)Innovative Naval Prototypes(INP) Applied Res
Abstract
INP investments are typically 4-8 years in duration. They provide a continuance of basic research by maturing technologies from a Technology Readiness Level (TRL) of 2 or 3 to a TRL of 6. It is intended that prototypes developed within this program, requiring both BA2 and BA3 funding, are demonstrated in a relevant environment to prove the feasibility of the new technological capability. The portfolio is periodically refreshed through the selection of new INPs as existing ones are completed. Successful experiments and demonstrations are intended to present the Department of the Navy with a programmatic challenge as these new capabilities can lead to the obsolescence of existing capabilities, requiring significant decisions as to the path forward for integrating the new technological capabilities into the warfighting systems of the future. INPs have been collectively grouped into R-2 Activities that include Unmanned and Autonomous Systems, Directed Energy / Electric Weapons, Electromagnetic Maneuver Warfare, Cyber and Undersea Warfare. Due to the nature of these projects, starting in FY19, plans have been written with limited details due to information security concerns. Specific information on each project will be provided separately to the Congressional oversight committees.
