Power Proj Applied Research

Abstract

The efforts described in this Program Element (PE) are based on investment directions as defined in the Naval S&T Strategic Plan approved by the S&T Corporate Board. This strategy is based on needs and capabilities from Navy and Marine Corps guidance and input from the Naval Research Enterprise (NRE) stakeholders (including the Naval enterprises, the combatant commands, the Chief of Naval Operations (CNO), and Headquarters Marine Corps). It provides the vision and key objectives for the essential science and technology efforts that will enable the continued supremacy of U.S. Naval forces in the 21st century. The Strategy focuses and aligns Naval S&T with Naval missions and future capability needs that address the complex challenges presented by both rising peer competitors and irregular/asymmetric warfare. This PE supports both advanced technology research and near to mid-term transition opportunities. The advanced research focus is primarily on directed energy, high speed weapon propulsion, and electro-optic/infrared (EO/IR) sensor technologies. Due to the number of efforts in this PE, the programs described herein are representative of the work included in this PE.
