Navy Science Assistance Progr

Abstract

The Naval Science Advisor Program ensures the Fleet/Force (F/F) helps shape the Department of the Navy (DoN) investment in Science and Technology (S&T), develops teaming relationships to rapidly demonstrate and transition technology, supports development of technology-based capability options for naval forces, and enables warfighting innovations based on technical and conceptual possibilities. This is accomplished through proactive connectivity and collaboration between DoN S&T and Joint, Navy, and Marine Corps commands worldwide. The program accomplishes this through several methods. It provides Science Advisors to Joint, Navy, and Marine Corps operational and strategic planning commands. Science Advisors facilitate and disseminate Joint Capabilities Integration and Development System (JCIDS) requirements provided by the F/F Commanders to the Director of Navy Test and Evaluation and Technology Requirements (OPNAV N091). Science Advisors collaborate with the F/F to identify specific solutions to known operational capability needs and provide the means to develop and demonstrate prototype systems. As a result, Science Advisors provide insight into issues associated with Naval Warfighting Capabilities that influence S&T program decision making. The program develops leaders among civilian scientists and engineers in the Naval Research Enterprise (NRE). Upon completion of their tours, Science Advisors return to the NRE with first hand knowledge of the F/F, warfighting issues, and strategic decision making. The Office of Naval Research (ONR) Science Advisor program enables continuous communication and collaboration between the warfighters, the technical community, and strategic development commands. Effective FY14, funding for the Naval Science Advisor Program moved to PE 0602236N
