Warfighter Sustainment Applied Res

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 (Feb 2009). 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 the Future Naval Capabilities (FNCs) of Littoral Combat/Power Projection, Capable Manpower, Force Health Protection Future Capability, Seabasing and Enterprise and Platform Enablers (EPE) FNC; and innovation-based efforts that will provide technology options for future Navy and Marine Corps capabilities. Efforts focus on manpower and personnel; naval systems training; littoral combat and power projection capabilities; advanced naval materials; medical technologies; environmental quality; biocentric technologies; high speed sealift; cost reduction technologies; and seabasing technologies. Within the Naval Transformation Roadmap, this investment supports eight transformational capabilities within the "Sea Strike", "Sea Shield", and "Sea Basing" operational concepts; the critical human system, "Sea Warrior"; and Naval business efficiencies within "Sea Enterprise." Due to the number of efforts in this PE, the programs described herein are representative of the work included in this PE.
