Electromagnetic Systems Applied Research

Abstract

Freedom of maneuver on a global scale for U.S. naval forces depends upon assured access to the electromagnetic spectrum and the ability to deny adversary exploitation. Electromagnetic technologies must fluidly deliver communication, surveillance electronic warfare and digital integration to understand, shape and defend the battlespace. The Electromagnetic Systems Applied Research Program addresses technology needs associated with Naval platforms for new capabilities in Electro-Optic and Infrared (EO/IR) Sensors, Surveillance, Electronic Warfare, Navigation, Solid State Electronics, Vacuum Electronics Power Amplifiers, and Nanoelectronics. The program supports development of technologies to enable capabilities in Missile Defense, Directed Energy, Platform Protection, Time Critical Strike, and Information Distribution. Activities and efforts within this Program have attributes that focus on enhancing the affordability of warfighting systems. Today's Sailors and Marines are enabled by Naval Science and Technology (S&T). Since 1946, the Office of Naval Research (ONR) has fostered scientific research related to the maintenance of maritime superiority and national defense. ONR manages the Department of the Navy's (DON) portfolio of naval Basic and Applied research, and Advanced Technology Development investments to ensure naval forces can effectively deter conflict, but when called upon, fight, win and come home safe. Current investments hedge against uncertainty, providing solutions to commanders today, and options for the future. The Naval S&T budget supports higher guidance defined by the National Defense Strategy, and responds to requirements identified by the Secretary of the Navy through research priorities set by the Chief of Naval Research, coordinated across the Naval Research Enterprise (NRE), and outlined in the Naval R&D Framework. This Program Element (PE) funds Applied Research, which is the systematic study to understand the means to meet a recognized and specific need. Most of the work in this PE can be classified between Technology Readiness Level (TRL) 2 (technology concept and/or application formulation) and TRL 4 (component and/or breadboard validation in laboratory environments). Due to the number of efforts in this PE, the programs described herein are representative of the work included in this PE.
