(U)Future Naval Capabilities Applied Research

Abstract

The efforts described in this Program Element (PE) address the Applied Research associated with the Future Naval Capabilities (FNC) Program. The objective of the work in this PE is to develop and mature technologies needed by the Navy and Marine Corps to initiate FNCs in PE 0603673N Future Naval Capabilities Advanced Technology Development that can be commenced at higher Technology Readiness Levels (TRLs). The FNC Program was restructured for FY 2019 to accelerate transition to the Fleet and Force. This restructuring involved a zero based review of all ongoing FNC projects where each effort was assessed for its technology maturity and transition commitment. Ongoing efforts were categorized as FNCs or Technology Candidates. Some efforts were terminated and others were accelerated to achieve the goals of the restructured program. Funding for FNCs, which have higher Technology Readiness Levels (TRLs of 4/5 to 6) and transition funding commitments, is being resourced in PE 0603673N Future Naval Capabilities Advanced Technology Development. Funding for technology candidates at lower TRLs (3 to 4) is being resourced in this PE. The Office of Naval Research (ONR) is working closely across the Department of the Navy (DON) and Naval Research Enterprise (NRE) to develop high priority technological capabilities needed by the operational forces. Due to the number of efforts in this PE, the programs described herein are representative of the work included in this PE.
